		<description><![CDATA[How do you approach a project like this with an open mind when you have already stressed your belief that the franchise is the worst, bloated and unnecessary example of the Hollywood machine grinding out an excessive amount of sequels since The Land Before Time almost caught up with time (though thankfully even they kept those beastly sequels to the VHS and DVD scene)?
My review for Saw V pointed out the numerous short-comings of that offering; from the ludicrous plot holes, through the lack of likeable or even sufficiently developed characters to the unforgiveable abandonment of the very rules that Jigsaw first established and which were supposedly crucial to his murderous ethos, and thus to the integrity of the Saw universe.



In a follow-up article following the release of the Saw VI trailer and poster I pointed out my initial fears for the film as follows, and I thought it relevant to repost the following section to hold up my expectations against my feelings post-viewing (especially since others at OWF frequently get abuse for either not admitting culpability or reviewing without viewing):

I cant help but be a little suspicious of the tagline, and indeed of the official blurb I received claiming that Jigsaw’s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's already at least three films too long, and now Saw VI looks set to arrive in British screens on October 23rd to distinctly tepid reviews: the film-makers seemingl unperturbed by the embarrassing fact that the franchise can boast to include a theme-park ride that significantly outclasses the majority of its actual filmic instalments- at least it holds some actual thrills.

But for one glimmering moment, I was taken in by this gloriously clever little poster...

 

And then the sense that had deserted me came flooding back when I watched this attached teaser trailer- heavy on poor quality CGI, at least it doesnt give away as much plot detail as the first trailers did for anyone with even half a detective gene in them.

Saw 6 Teaser

I cant help but be a little suspicious of the tagline, and indeed of the official blurb I received claiming that Jigsaw's grand scheme will finally be explained- surely there have been ample opportunities (and actual attempts) to explain Jigsaw's Game, and the fifth instalment all but made a mockery of the idea that the Game was continuing in the same vein that John had originally intended. The authenticity was abandoned when it became obvious that there was ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saw franchise player Tobin Bell has told Bloody Disgusting that there will be an eighth and perhaps even a ninth movie in the Jigsaw Killer saga after Saw VI hits cinemas next October. Not much of an announcement, granted, but I’m mystified by it and maybe someone out there in cyberspace can clue me up.



You see, my first assignment after being inducted into the OWF team back in March was Saw-related. The mission: travel to Thorpe Park and interview one of the producers behind the franchise, who was in England to open a Saw ride at Britain’s third largest theme park.

The whole thing eventually came to nothing, but the night before I had rushed off to my video club to rent the five existing films in the hope that it would help me to come up with some worthwhile questions.

I was mildly entertained by the first film, originally released in 2004. It managed to create a spooky atmosphere and had a decent twist at the end. The second movie had little novel to add and was barely passable. After Saw III I simply gave up. “Tedious and predictable” would be a friendly way of describing the experience.

Now, I have no ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Release Date: 9th March 2009

So it seems we are going to have another SAW every year then…

There is a very definite pattern emerging in this franchise: as the numbers progress, the stars of the lead actors gleam slightly less. First off we had Cary Elwes and Danny Glover, then the talents of Donnie Wahlberg in 2005’s follow-up, and since then we have been treated to a veritable smorgasbord of B and C list (at very best) actors. This next development sees Costas Mandylors (brother of Louis who played Joey’s fake twin in FRIENDS) and Scott Patterson (Luke in the bile-inducing GILMORE GIRLS) add their considerable acting chops to the series. How long until the guy that got coffee for the guy that fluffed Elizabeth Berkley's body double on SHOWGIRLS gets his chance? At this rate I should be in SAW X.

But of course it isn’t the actors who are the real stars of the SAW franchise (apart from maybe Tobin Bell), it’s the inventive ways in which they are dispatched, and it has to be said the Pendulum trap, for which SAW V is now best known ranks as one of the best offerings so far. It’s the perfect cringe-inducing ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SAW V opens Friday, once again attempting to scare us the week before Halloween. Obsessed With Film were delighted this week to have the chance to talk to Tobin Bell, the real star of the franchise...



Interview by Oliver Pfeiffer...

Contrary to popular belief Tobin Bell doesn’t speak in a muffled, gravely voice in person. He even has a general distain for most horror films. An ordinary looking character actor Bell spent most of his career in bit player parts in films as diverse as TOOTSIE (as an uncredited waiter), GOODFELLAS and THE FIRM and fleeting television appearances in everything form Nash Bridges, The X-Files, E.R. and 24.

But it was these unassuming fade-in-to-the-background looks which made him an inspirational choice for the surprise ‘man with the self- inflicted torture plan’ in the SAW series, as John Kramer (aka ‘Jigsaw’), a role that he will probably be best remembered. During a conference call with the reluctantly pegged ‘horror icon’ I took the opportunity to quiz the actor on his fearsome but faithful contribution to the continual series, any sneaking developments we may except to look out for in SAW V and whether he would one day be interested in directing his own installment ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lionsgate are telling us we won't believe how Saw V ends.

As long as it's definitive and leaves no room for a Saw VI then I will be happy but of course that ain't gonna happen. Can anyone predict what "shocking" conclusion they could end on this time?


David Hackl, the second unit helmer on Saw III and IV will make his feature directorial debut on this one which will see Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) as what we think is the last person alive to continue on Jigsaw's legacy.

But of course, Saw is never straight forward. Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson and Shawnee Smith all return and joining the cast this time is Julie Benz. The movie opens October 24th.

		<description><![CDATA[The last SAW movie, which I will admit I wasn't paying as much attention to as I probably should have been (I'm so sick of this damn franchise) confused me completely, so I'm a little lost with where this franchise is headed and just who has done what and to whom.

All I know is that I'm sick of having to talk about Saw year in, year out and I would be quite happy to see this series die to move over and allow a new horror tentpole to take it's slot.


In the fifth installment of the Saw franchise, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends. Tobin Bell, Julie Benz, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson and Mark Rolston star.
So are we seeing a full movie with the new killer wearing a Tobin Bell mask until the big "shock" reveal at the end?

Do we even care?

Saw V opens October 28th.
