I can't wait for it! I am a mega fan of Saw and have loved them all. I watched the first 3 on DVD and then the 4th in the cinema and loved it more watching it in the cinema.

Can't wait for Saw 5 and it's out on my Birthday! Whayy!
 
I love the Saw films but must admit Saw 4 has been my least favourite. I hope they don't ruin it by bringing too many out, they should let it go out with a bang! Saying that, I'm still looking forward to it :D
 
I was a big fan of Saw up until I watched Saw 4. I thought it was crap and left a bad taste in my mouth.

I should have stopped at the 3rd film and left it in my mind as a trilogy. I really can't be bothered with a 5th film now.
 
I did stop at the third film, and that's going to be a permanent stop, period.

Saw was a good, while "overrated" film.

I saw the twist in the second film coming from a mile away, an average film at best.

I watched III only to make my final decision on whether the franchise had truly run its course.

Decision made.
 
The story has got steadily more interesting, although the editing technique has got steadily more annoying. So I'll look forward to #5.
 
Agree with everything here. :)

Loved the original SAW; it really shook me up and gave me nightmares, which, in a very massochistic way, meant I knew I'd seen a brilliant horror film.

None of them have lived up to the original but if they had to make sequels, they should have left it at three.

The protagonist (Jigsaw) died in nuber 3, RAB. :rolleyes:

I can't keep track of who the other baddies are now.
 
That's your choice, of course, but I much preferred the fourth film to the third. At the time, the third film seemed forgettable as it didn't advance the plot much. I liked the fourth film partly because it went into the history of some of the characters.
 
big fan of 1,2 & 3. didnt like 4. why kill off the main (and best) character of the story if you are planning on 5 or 6 films.
 
I know - killing the main character really changed nothing about the series.

Saw was amazing and genuinely scary, 2 was just average and then I thought 3 was alot better than the second but still nothing compared to the first.

Not sure whether to watch 4 - I mean, this has definitely become the new Nightmare on Elm Street hasn't it? A fantastic, classic horror film deriding into a shabby horror series.

4, 5 and 6 are really too far, aren't they?
 
Absolutely. I hate what happened to Nightmare on Elm Street.

Freddy Krueger went from being a scary child killer to the lovable, cheesy "one-liner" anti-hero that the "kiRAB" could adore.

"Freddy's Dead" is abysmal. It's only worth watching to laugh at how incredibly bad it is.

"You forgot the Power Glove!"

Be grateful Wes Craven at least put it back on track again somewhat with "New Nightmare". Easily the third best film.

The first and third being the other two of course. Even "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2", which was really quite badly written at least still had scary Freddy.

"Child's Play" is another series.

The first one is a classic suspense horror film.

As every sequel came, it degenerated more and more into a parody of itself until "Bride of Chucky" they decided to just turn it into a straight Black Comedy and Chucky went from creepy serial killer to the wise-cracking ADHD good guy doll.

At least Bride of Chucky worked for it was trying to achieve.

"Seed of Chucky".... What a terrible cringe inducing film.

They are remaking Child's Play, so hopefully they will at least keep Chucky as an evil, sick son of a b**ch this time.

I have no interest in any Elm Street remake unless Robert England is in it. I'm the same with Brad Dourif doing the voice of Chucky in that remake.
 
I don't know the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but I don't think the Saw films have jumped into humour. It's true that the Jigsaw character has become a bit less enigmatic, but I prefer that. Perhaps I should say that I prefer SF to horror generally. The Saw films are more psychological thrillers than horror films, and it's appropriate to delve into Jigsaw's philosophy and motivations, and now his legacy.

That said, part of what I liked about the 4th film was gruesome, macabre machinery is back, because in the 3rd film that side felt a bit unimaginative.
 
well Saw 4 was set at the same time as 3 but from a different perspective i spose...

5 and 6 will probably play thought a lot of flash backs with 6 tying up the loose enRAB
