Saw 3D

Re: Saw 3D
1. I believe it really is the end. Whether or not it's a satisfying creative conclusion is, frankly, sort of irrelevant when it comes to whether or not they'd do more. They called it the end from a creative standpoint when they made III, but money won. This time, I feel as if Burg and Koules really are feeling as if they push it any farther the bubble's going to burst, and so they're signing off because they can't be positive the series is a foolproof, bankable commodity any longer.
That said, if they make more I'm sure they'll be branded DTV spin-offs, kind of like American Pie.
2. The poster may be a "rip-off" of one for the PS3, but I bet dollars to donuts they're by the same ad agency.
3. My love of IV has weakened over the years, because I ended up seeing it more frequently than any other Saw sequel, but my ranking probably still goes (star rankings using DVDTalk's 5-star scale):
Saw (****) | Saw VI (****) | Saw III and Saw IV together (***) | Saw II (***) | Saw V (**1/2)
4. Hostel Part II is great.

Anyway, VII seems to have changed things up and will be the movie VI could have been.

Re: Saw 3D
I'll always have bad memories of Saw V. It was the only film in the series I saw in the theater and I hated it. Easily the worst of the series.

The BBFC just rated the first 8 minutes of footage, so there's a good chance that we'll be seeing it in cinemas or online soon. Stay tuned.

I've enjoyed the rest of the series so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Re: Saw 3D
I like the Saw franchise quite a bit for whatever reason with Saw VI being the only one that I don't like. Saw II I actually think is one of the better horror movies in the last ten years or so, so I'm looking forward to Saw 3D on account of all of the built-up goodwill.

I can't wait until October. I really hope the franchise goes out with a bang both creatively and in the box office. The franchise hasn't been perfect, but it's one of the most entertaining serialized movie franchises in the last 10 years or so.
Can anyone think of another horror franchise as serialized as Saw? The only ones I can think of are Halloween specifically only 1-2, 4-5. 7-8

Re: Saw 3D
Halloween 6 is a continuation of the story started in 4 - 5 regarding the whole Thorn-aspect that started at the end of Halloween 5.
Nightmare on Elm Street 1, 3, 4 and 5 are also serialized too.
I'd also argue about Friday the 13th Part 1 and 2 alongside 4, 5 and 6.
Can't forget about Scream too.
The new footage excites me more, but the cheesy 3D aspect promotional footage is fucking terrible.

Yeah, the audience interaction they're trying to show looks stupid. Still can't wait to see this, although honestly I don't care about 3D. I'd be happier watching a 2D showing, if possible.

I like that new trailer. Is that Chester from Linkin Park in the film?
Also did anyone notice in the trailer
Interesting!
