Saw V (Official Thread)

[TheTrooth]

Well, who didnt see this coming?

[MovieManCorey]

I got a chance to see this movie a month or so ago and I just wanted to tell everyone that it is going to be a fantastic movie. It's really disturbing and scary and will be known as one of the best thrillers in twenty years. Sets up the next two or three films well. Kicked everyones ass in the theater.

B+

I am working on a review now and I'll try and wrap it up in a bit and post it.

[colorlesscliche]

Shut the fuck up, MovieMan.

[TheTrooth]

After the third one the story completely lost me

[jusscali]

Shut the fuck up, MovieMan.

Hahah this this this this this

-the non spam man-

[drudo182]

I have to see this now that it's gotten a B+ from the movie man.

[TheTrooth]

I wonder how far they'll milk this series. Ever since they made money and upped the budget, qualitys gone down. First movie, 1,000,000 budget, awesome. Everything else, not as great.

how was Disaster Movie? A+?

[MovieManCorey]

Well with Saw V it's like they got Hollywoods greatest crew and cast to work on it. It will go down as one of the best of the series for sure. That last Saw movie had our entire audience scared out of our minds and Saw V was just as scary if not more. I got a free Saw V poster for watching it.

[MovieManCorey]

Disaster Movie wasnt very good at all. C-

And who says being a MovieMan doesnt have its perks?

[drudo182]

How are you seeing all of these movies so early?

[TheTrooth]

How are you seeing all of these movies so early?

He's the MovieMan of course. Didnt you know?

[jusscali]

I found the first one to be far from awesome as well - after following the hype before the release I was really let down. Cary Elwes made me want to kill myself as well. Good twist, but it was average. For some reason I've kept watching them cause I'm a sick fuck

[TheTrooth]

Eh, I thought the first one was good considering what they had to work with. But theyve gone downhill since. But like you, I enjoy watching people be dismembered in different ways.

[drudo182]

The only one I've seen in theatres is the first one and I enjoyed it for the most part.

[colorlesscliche]

I think they said they are doing seven of these movies.

[drudo182]

Seven plus five more they haven't announced yet.

[TheTrooth]

I dont see how they could go to seven. Then again I never paid attention to the story

[batmannj]

I think they said they are doing seven of these movies.

thats unfortunate. how long will the torture on the audience last? i mean, the last two or three were done just to make money. i enjoyed the first film and only made it through half of the second movies terrible plot. i dont understand how these still make money. at least saw had danny glover, carl elwes, and michael emerson in them. now they dont even have legit actors/actresses.

at least these are better than hostel.

[colorlesscliche]

They'll keep doing the same thing they are doing now. The villian can't do it anymore, so he get's an apprentice, who gets an apprentice.. it'll keep going.

[batmannj]

i mean why? like, what is the point? i didnt think they were even making money anymore....this is the biggest waste of film in the history of mankind

[TheTrooth]

i mean why? like, what is the point? i didnt think they were even making money anymore....this is the biggest waste of film in the history of mankind

I reserve that for all the Scary Movie spinoffs. None of them are funny.

[hero_dujour]

He's the MovieMan of course. Didnt you know?

LMAO

[hero_dujour]

I reserve that for all the Scary Movie spinoffs. None of them are funny.

They really aren't funny at all, the Scary Movies got worse and worse too. Like the first two were funny but they just had to keep going.

[colorlesscliche]

There are a lot worse.

[BJW7191]

saw was good... the others are ridiculous and unnessesary


poo on II- V

[phil19]

i like these movies. the plot line fell off in the fourth one but its all good. the plot i think takes a back seat in movies like this. its all about the people dying and the gadgets. im actually looking forward to this one.

[TheOtherAndrew]

They need to just embrace their status as shitty B-movies and give these flicks obnoxious subtitles, i.e. Friday the 13th.

i like the movies, they are entertaining, but the plot sucks hardcore. they are making the "twists" to predictable... i guessed the outcome of IV in like 25 mins... it was very predictable. 3 was dumb. 2 was decent. but all the twists arent twists at all. but i think its entertaining, just not WHOA like the first

[TheOtherAndrew]

I'd agree with that.

Oh and hello fellow person who lives in Louisiana :wave:

Starring Michael Cera, because he's too hip to play George Michael.

[phil19]

i like the movies, they are entertaining, but the plot sucks hardcore. they are making the "twists" to predictable... i guessed the outcome of IV in like 25 mins... it was very predictable. 3 was dumb. 2 was decent. but all the twists arent twists at all. but i think its entertaining, just not WHOA like the first

the first is definately the best. i think the second is my least favourite. number three was good and four was awesome when those ice blocks crush donnie wahlbergs head! gold! haha
yeah, they're entertaining thats it.

eric matthews is still alive and hooked to some ice contraption... black swat guy is the one playing the game... he cares to much and has to let people learn to play the game... he opens the door and a block of ice crushes erics head. theres another guy hooked up to a machine with eric matthews... if eric dies, the other dude gets electrocuted... he does... black guy had to let people play the game, now two people are dead who shouldnt have been dead had black guy followed his rules

yeah they were good. that fat dude in the hotel gets ripped apart haha. i love those ice blocks though. that was the greatest

[BJW7191]

i cant help but laught when they say eric mathews... all i can think is "FEENY! FE-HE-HE-ENY"

[phil19]

i cant help but laught when they say eric mathews... all i can think is "FEENY! FE-HE-HE-ENY"

not sure what that is. is that from when he was in new kids on the block (who are making a comeback i hear)
when i think of this character all i think about is the most cringe worthy moment in all of the saw movies (imo) when he breaks his ankle and then rips his foot so it fits through the shackle at the beginning of the third one i think it is

[BJW7191]

no... its from boy meets world... the greatest show from the 90's


great trio avatar

that was def a cringe moment... that or when the dude is in that twisty machine bone-breaking contraption

[phil19]

that was def a cringe moment... that or when the dude is in that twisty machine bone-breaking contraption

oh and his leg splits!! ouch.
i think those two are the worst things in the movies. and for me, the third one is when amanda gets thrown into that pit of syringes. that gets me too

[BJW7191]

that doesnt bother me... any bone-breaking in general gets to me... i had an ankle injury so bad that i needed three ankle reconstruction surgeries. if you would have seen my ankle (and i was already uneasy with bone breaking) you would have vomited. its just nothing a human should witness

[phil19]

are you serious?! three reconstructions. what did you do o it?
yeah your probably right. that footage int he movie makes me ill and i know its fake. i cant imagine what id be liek if that was in real life. is your ankle ok now?

[lew_1987]

Probably won't be that good, but I'll go and watch it anyway.

[Indoor Living]

Why did you tell - TheMovieMan - to stop posting?! Now I don't know whether to see it or not! I need that voice of reason!

[xBITCHxPLEASEx]

I personally cannot wait.

There's a certain quality of those movies that keep me coming back.

It makes them incredibly appealing to me for some reason.

[BJW7191]

i stepped off my two foot high porch and landed in a divet in the grass and just SNAP. broke... i was on crutches for six months, had a 4 inch syndesmosis screw put in my ankle along with plates and screws put in it. have a bitchin 7 inch scar on my right leg from the surgeries. it didnt hurt bc i didnt break the skin, i thought it was just a SEVERE!!! sprain

my ankle is cool now. i have played a full game of soccer at goalie, ran in a thanksgiving day race, and am now walking without a limp... its all gravy now

[MIKEY_HORROR]

they are running this into the ground, they keep making money...but the novelty and quality are running thin..

total freak accident... couldnt sue the landlord (not that i would have, but my mom was trying to so i shot down my moms statement that it was my neglagence since we had stairs on the porch at my apt for college) its just a freak accident. mind blowing too...

whats really scary is that i had to keep my foot elevated for a week after the accident and could only put it down for bathroom breaks and showers. well after that week we went for a check up and shit. well the skin and tissues of my leg started to die really bad. the doctor told me that he was actually planning on amputating my leg bc the tissues were deteriorating. luckily he delayed the surgery by 5 days and it started to heal... but could you imagine having to lose a leg over something so freakish?

wow it got that bad?! thats insane. yeah that would have sucked so bad. that must have been so boring, spending a week, not being able to do anything. i never would have thought that a little accident like that could have become so serious. it goes to show that you gotta be careful cos you never know whats going to happen. i mean, ive done things similar to that many times. it could just as easily have happened to me. were you freaking out when they said they might have to amputate. i had this real bad chemical burn on my legs just last year and they were oozing all this shit and were infected and stuff and i was freaking out they were going to have to amputate. and then the doc at the hospital jokingly said they would and i nearly had a heart attack.

[Gumbyjag]

been waiting for this thread. i asked Cha-Cha about anything regarding this flick and they said that it is rumored to be the prequel to the first Saw.

i flipped out... i was in shock then i threw up and kinda lost my cool... but i still have both legs and am all well but yeah... def not the greatest six months of my life... mainly bc i had to miss brand new in new orleans... i woulda came had i got to go to that show

[phil19]

[BJW7191]

shit man, it keeps getting worse! they're good live too. have you seen them before?

it does get worse... my friend had an extra ticket... she woulda gave me her extra ticket FOR FREE!!!


nope... it woulda been my first time. jesse ended up coming back to new orleans with kevin devine i believe, but i have to see BRAND NEW... i believe only seeing jesse first would deteriorate the experience of seeing brand new when they come back (hoping)


but my friend at the time did call me when they played "you wont know" which is an ear-al orgasm

you wont know is my favourite song. i know what you mean. i had a similar reaction when they played it. im sure they'll play your town again soon

Apparantly, the sixth will be the final installment. But knowing how much Lionsgates loves $$$$, they'll probably make more.

been waiting for this thread. i asked Cha-Cha about anything regarding this flick and they said that it is rumored to be the prequel to the first Saw.

The (very brief) synopsis is:

Hoffman 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.

Jigsaw will probably continue to be seen in flashbacks, just like in Saw IV.

yeah i hate when movies are dragged out

just ruins it, trying to make more money

[Young Machetes]

These movies sucked after Saw II, but I'm really curious to see if they can close the story up without it being a complete shit-fest.

[DudeNateIsSoRad]

^ doubt it. Saw will probobly have i'm guessing a few more installments. I know Lionsgate Films and Twisted Pictures have contracts with the first 6 films, but some small studio will probobly make more and release them direct-to DVD. And hey if not, there are all ready so many Saw rip off's now a days... Are You Afraid? Breathing Room, there are a couple more. But I have a feeling we'll be seeing more Saw and Saw influenced films for the next couple years.

Like New Line Cinema with Freddy, Lionsgate is the house that Saw made. They won't hand it off to some small studio after; they'll keep pumping out useless sequels until they stop making money. Twisted Films knows better than to give the franchise off to another company, and Lionsgate knows they don't want to let their precious Saw series go.

It took five years. Five years to turn Lionsgate into a small company who brought out films such as Happiness and Cube (when the company who brought them out before went under) into a powerhouse that could stand-up with most major studios. They brought us the new Rambo, and gave us all the shitty Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy films we always see. They helped out the atrocious 8 Films To Die For and are preparing the Ghosthouse film series for release next week (including the great Dance of the Dead). They are even the people who brought out Are You Afraid.

They aren't going to allow the Saw franchise to be handed off if it (unforunately) continues.

These movies sucked after Saw II, but I'm really curious to see if they can close the story up without it being a complete shit-fest.

Saw III was one of the most boring, contrived movies I've seen in recent memory. It was just lackluster in all sense of the word. The first was a great thriller, not horror, movie and I wish it would have ended after that one. And, while the second completely rips off Cube, I enjoyed it for what it was. The fourth wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good, either.

I could careless about the fifth. There are so many unsolved plotholes (the little girl, what happened to Gordon, or to Wahlberg's kid) that should have been wrapped up already, but are being skipped upon in place of senseless storylines and lame ass characters. It's all about 'put someone in a trap, show quick shots of them screaming in various angles with the camera running around, and then have them die' (only two victims in the last three films have survived the entire film, which are Wahlberg's kid and the woman with the abusive husband).

It's all become a clusterfuck, and one of the reasons the Saw series is looked down upon by serious horror buffs who don't think of them as anything special. It's all about the money, and the people who will still shell out eight bucks for this shit.

[gusta0117]

i cant wait to see this

i rate the saw films: 1, 4, 2, 3.


so hopefully this will either be between 1 and 4 or 4 and 2.

[_jonas]

Anybody hear about the upcoming videogame?

[Why Bother?]

The first two installments were good, then it just got so terrible.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

News from the people I know that went to the midnight showing makes it seem like this is terrible.

[Brent_S]

Was contemplating going to Saw Fest out in Mesa... but I don't think I could stand 10 hours of Saw. Most likely seeing it sometime this weekend with the lady friend.

[64 % chance]

this movie was so so so bad. i mean i knew it was going to be bad, but this was BAD.

[WakingTheMisery]

Its at 0% on RT so far.

[popdisaster00]

i am basically being forced into seeing this. ugh.

[IAmNietzche]

For some reason I shell out my money for these films every year, turn off my brain and have a really good time in the theater. Go with friends that way you can make fun of it after.

[colorlesscliche]

Eek, that bad? Bad acting? Bad story? What makes it bad?

[jusscali]

I would imagine everything...hahah going tonight.

[IAmNietzche]

Eek, that bad? Bad acting? Bad story? What makes it bad?
Well you can always assume bad-acting with Saw. Actually, bad story is usually a safe bet as well. Bad logic you can probably throw in there.

[jusscali]

I just wanna go see people tortured - it gets me off. Bloody titties are the best!

[bradyreier]

For some reason I shell out my money for these films every year, turn off my brain and have a really good time in the theater. Go with friends that way you can make fun of it after.
That's how it has been for me for the previous four, but I'm not going to be paying any more money to these movies. They've just become too terrible that it's not even worth it, haha.

[Jared Kaufman]

Meagan Good is in this so that alone is worth the price of admission, waste of time, and bad movie experience.

[caLLmEnOoNe]

my friend is making me go see this tonight. I'm a fan of 1-4 but I'm tired of this already and from what i hear it's awful

I saw this at midnight and I wasn't impressed. The one thing that kept me interested though was that the woman who plays Rita on Dexter was in it. In my opinion, it's getting boring and they are running out of ways to keep it going. A majority of this movie was flashbacks.

[Jared Kaufman]

What's the twist/ending for whoever saw (bad pun intended) it? Spoiler tag it, of course.

Don't care, won't be seeing it, I'm just curious.

There wasn't really a twist in this one. In the end, Strahm set up another cop who knew he was Jigsaw's apprentice to make it seem like he was the actual killer. The cop was also being tested by Jigsaw, and he failed and ended up being crushed in a room. I called the ending of the movie 10 minutes into it, very lame.

But isn't Jigsaw dead?

[bradyreier]

Jared, are you a fan of any of the others?

[Jared Kaufman]

Despite the craptastic acting, I really liked the first one. I was by no means expecting that twist and when it was revealed with the combination of the awesome score I was chilled. The second one was alright and I don't remember anything about the third except the outcome of Jigsaw. Never saw the fourth one and don't care to. Same with this one.

These are just way too ridiculous now. I'm not a fan of gore, brutality, torture, graphic violence, etc.; these have just gone so over-the-top and are about outdoing (read: outgrossing) the one prior. I was initially just a fan of the twists because I'm a sucker for a surprise ending and I thought the first one was one of the best I had ever seen but now I'm just appalled.

Sorry for the rant, haha.

[lucygray]

But isn't Jigsaw dead?

Yes, but you find out in this one that Strahm had been helping him the WHOLE TIME, even throughout the second one. Strahm also predicted that Amanda would fail Jigsaw, which she did in the 3rd movie. So, Strahm set up the trap for the other detective because Jigsaw asked him to. The trap began in the same room that Jigsaw died in, there was a tape for the detective behind a wall that said something about how his search for the truth would be his downfall and that he should heed Jigsaw's warning and not go on because the room could be his sanctuary or his grave. He spent the whole movie searching for the truth and in tne end he ended up in a room with Strahm, a box made of some indestructable material that was full of broken glass, and a tape. The tape said something about him learning to trust Jigsaw and that he should get in the box, but he didn't and instead put Strahm in the box. Turns out, the box goes down into the floor because the walls of the room start closing in on him and he ends up getting crushed while Strahm chills in the box.

You're confusing the characters. Hoffman is Jigsaw's apprentice; Strahm is the cop trying to catch him.

[c_rob2700]

The first one is the only one i enjoyed

[Cheshire_Buddha]

The first one is the only one i enjoyed

I liked the first and second. Everything after those two have been fucking horrid.

[drudo182]

Why didn't they just release this next weekend?

[caLLmEnOoNe]

The first one is the only one i enjoyed
yeah that one was the best

[lucygray]

Haha, wow my bad, you're so right but aside from the name mix ups, I think I got everything else.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

No problem.

I prefer the second, mostly because I would do nasty things to Emmaunelle Vaiguer (sp?).

That is basically the same feeling I had while seeing the first. Terrible acting, but the twist at the end was so unexpected and awesome that I just loved it. I basically had the same reaction to the second one. It became a little more cheesy and gruesome, but I just loved the twist at the ending.

Then the third and fourth ones came, and I didn't enjoy either of them at all. Like you said, they are just trying to make them as gross and shocking as possible, and it's becoming quite sickening. I will more than likely see this when it comes to DVD, but it will probably be an hour and a half of my life I wish I could have back, haha.

[donwagenblast]

unbelievably predictable ending, and the twist endings were the best part. i have officially lost all interest in these movies.

[DudeNateIsSoRad]

I only enjoyed Saw and Saw 2. Five was the worst by farr... did anyone else notice how EVERYTHING looked CGI?!?!? That whole movie was just fucking rediculous... predictable killings, no creative traps (they all involved what, bombs and nails?) stupid ass movie... what a waste of $10. That was a pathetic excuse for a horror film.

[drudo182]

Hopefully I can find a decent cam version to watch. I won't be spending money to see this in theatres I don't think.

Haven't seen the first Saw.

[Adeniz19]

Why didn't they just release this next weekend?Because if they released it next weekend no one will see it after that. Halloween is on Friday and no one is really going to go to the movies then and once Halloween is over, no one will care to see this. This movie's numbers are going to drastically drop after Halloween.

Just look at this weekend's numbers:

Friday- 14.1M
Saturday- 9.9M
Sunday- 6.4M

No lasting value even in it's opening weekend. Just imagine how much worse it would of been AFTER Halloween.

[drudo182]

They could have done a Wednesday release to avoid the Halloween numbers on Friday.

[Adeniz19]

True, but they still wouldn't of had a full weekend prior to halloween

[airik625]

I thought it was better than IV.

[Justin_stacy]

First 2 sequels did about $15 million in the post halloween weekend, and the last one did about $10.

[_jonas]

Best movie I've seen this year by far. This and TDK.

[xBITCHxPLEASEx]

I liked how this was more character/story driven. It was cool to see some development.

Not much of a twist, but it's all good. I liked it. Kind of weak, but I liked it.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Best movie I've seen this year by far. This and TDK.

Wow. Really?

It blew nuts. Hard. Watched a bootleg copy and I wanted to turn it off after 45 minutes, but was too lazy to get up and pull the tape out. The fact that the story is basically stuck in the same place as Saw IV feel-wise is what kills it; it needs to advance at some point, not just stay on a treadmill. The connection between the group of people and the police detectives don't even click, it feels like two seperate movies that are trying to fight themselves off. The cop side is interesting, but we all know what it was leading up to. The big twist was something that anyone with a logical mind could have called almost an hour before.

'You won't believe how it ends', my ass.

Not only are the characters in the second story seriously underdeveloped (and cliche) and only used as cannon-fodder to some of Jigsaw's most uninspired traps to date, the pay-off at the end with these characters are only used as a visual treat. Oh, and did I mention they are all complete fucking idiots? Not just them, of course: everyone. No one follows the basic set of rules. You'd think that in the world of Saw, people would have the common sense to acknowledge what the five people in the house didn't. That's not real; that's just shit writing. Only a person with bad depth perception would do the things that the characters did in the second trap.

And is it just me, or am I getting a little tired of most of the film being told is useless flashbacks? Again, where the fuck is the progression? Why does it look like everyone is sleepwalking through the film? Why is the chick from Dexter wearing a terrible looking wig on her head? Why does no one in a mile or so radius hear the half of the explosions that happen?

Honestly, horror movies are my passion and my favorite genre bar none. But I shake my head at some of the people giving this piece of shit high marks when other films are coming out that advance the genre forward, not keep it stuck in place. It's fine that people like these types of movies, but I think bad word of mouth due to this installment is just going to kill the franchise off to the point where the sixth might just be the last Saw.

truer words have never been spoken about the saw series... it really was like watching the fourth all over again

[domotime2]

Biggest Saw Man Ever = Me.


saw 5 was trash....makes me ashamed to be a fan of the series.

[gusta0117]

1 > 4 > 2 > 3> 5


5 seems like its just setting up for 6. the whole "it may not make sense to you now but it will in the future" speech that jigsaw said about the 5 people.

it wasnt terrible. there was some bad acting. especially by the young heroine addict.


i give it like a 5/10. too many flashbacks without new footage.
and the deaths werent too creative

5 out of 10? wow you're being generous....considering the best part of saws are the twists and ending, and we're left with nothing. And the worst story line of the series....the whole movie was about one cop trying to figure out that the bad cop was the new jigsaw. the problem here is that the character is trying to figure something out, that the audience all ready knows....it's not exciting.

Plus, lame script writing 101.... everytime the cop would come to some sort of conclusion, he was say what he's thinking out loud with no one around...."so he just sat there and took all the files to frame jigsaw" as he looks to the corner and says out loud to himself.

[gusta0117]

its a saw movie and it was still entertaining. so it gets a 5.
if saw VI is a complete letdown, then i will probably lower my score for this.

im viewing this movie as a bridge between the old and new

[leifstar]

I don't think V was terrible. I did expect more and had higher hopes for it. But I was satisfied. I am a big saw fan, so I can see how some people did not like it. Again isn't the best movie out there, but it was worth the $5 to see it. (I saw it at a matinee.)

I will look forward to the sixth one.

[_jonas]

Wow. Really?


Was only joking.

[MovieManCorey]

i told you guys this movie was amazing. i am just happy i got to see it so early.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

I have actually been seeing a lot of positive reviews of people saying it was amazing on the net. I kind of just tend to ignore them since I've already said what I think about the atrocity.

[donwagenblast]

five was by far the worst. shouldn't even have been made. they should have ended this when jigsawa died.

[popdisaster00]

Sucked. I know they're notorious for bad acting, but this one takes the cake.

[SLoT]

Saw (no pun intended) this recently. Shitty. IV is the best one I've seen.

[Hojonny]

Did not like. Acting = Bad, Twist = Existent?, Point = None. So if Acting = Band, and Bad is greater than or equal to existent?, does that mean the inverse would be true as well?
