Saw V

Saw V

2008
The sadistic torture games are back and the film's creators won't be deviating much from the blueprint that has made the concept such a success in previous incarnations. Jigsaw is dead, but there are loose ends to be tied up by FBI profilers and forensic detectives. Unfortunately one of them ends up abducted and there is only ninety minutes to prevent yet another grisly demise.

Production Designer for versions 2 through 4, David Hackl, is promoted to the director's chair in a move that is rumoured to be an attempt to appease personal problems between returning cast members and previous director Darren Bousman, so Dr. Gordon will be back. Publicity interviews suggest it will also be revealed what was in both the glass box and the envelope. This will not be the last of the Saw series, the sixth instalment has already gone into pre-production.

Starring Julie Benz, Meagan Good, Shawnee Smith, Tobin Bell

Directed by David Hackl (feature debut)

Written by Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstan

    Okay I did not watch it but I watched the first one which was original and pretty good. II and III were rubbish, I did not bother watching IV but unless there is some sort of reincarnation, ressurection, bionic transformation or cloning I do not intend to watch V either. Also I have a problem with the actors, they are rubbish too especially that girl (ex drug addict in number I and... II and... III also maybe) that replaced her spiritual serial killer of a father. Not convincing. Especially if you compare it to "Henry portrait of a serial killer", arguably the most choking ever made in this genre. "Henry..." is not as bloody as Saw but so realistic in the execution (not just a figure of speech) it is deeply disturbing. It is almost intellectual compared with Saw. Saw is more saddistic and mindless. Also, I kind of regret Jiggsaw never admitted he was one dodgy Kiwi from Palmerston North because clearly he had at least as much Kiwi inginuity as Burt Monroe :-)

    Agree? Disagree?...

  • Saw 1, 2, 3, 4.

    I love the Saw movies. I have watched alot of horrors, Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massarce, just to name a few, but there is nothing like Saw. I think it is truly amazing how someone can imagine such torturesome devices, but as the storyline goes, they can escape from them. I will be a Saw fan forever.

    Agree? Disagree?...

    Though it makes good use of a Poe-esque pendulum in the opening scene, this is a somewhat ho-hum franchise extension.

  • Los Angeles Times

    A particularly dull and discombobulated affair, shot and acted with all the flair of a basic-cable procedural. Patterson and Mandylor are so wooden that their cat-and-mouse game has all the excitement of watching dust bunnies swirl in an air current.

    This year's installment is as disappointing as a Halloween bag filled with nothing but raisins.

    By-the-numbers retread.

    Skips back and forth in time, trying to piece together who did what, when and why. The only question really worth asking here: Who cares?
