I love all of them. Just love them.

Will definitely be going to see Saw VI.

Darren Bousman made a decent sequel with SAW II, and it's gone downhill with each one. Since III, it's been entirely formulaic and violence for violence sake. It's an hour and a half of wafer thin exposition stretched out over the running time, filled with pointless gore and capped off with a predictable twist. It should have been killed off at a trilogy and had a truly lasting impression as a horror franchise in the industry, but instead the franchise that put Lionsgate on the map is going to be continually milked, and the cow's already dry.

Since there seems to be no end for this series, they need to at least hold off and release a film every two years. They have under a year to complete a film from start to finish. They get no time for pre-production, a decent length of time for the shoot, and then utterly rushed post-production. The whole process is rushed, and it shows. It can take up to a year for a film to reach a final cut, and each film is being mistreated by first-time directors who do not have the experience to undertake a production as high-scale as the SAW franchise.

I have never seen a Saw movie and I don't ever intend to, essentially for the reasons stated in the above.

I don't think I've ever seen a horror movie that was actually good. The only things that come to mind are things like The Others, What Lies Beneath and the Chucky films. But you can hardly call them "horror" films and they milked Chucky a bit too much as well I think.

You can call Child's Play a straight up horror, but they descended into comedy with the sequels, exactly like they did with A Nightmare on Elm Street - it began with horror, then each sequel drifted deeper and deeper into comedy, with Freddy Krueger turning from terrifying to goofy.

The first SAW is genuinely a very good film, though.

Hmm... I might give it a go some time then :P.

Bout time the saw series ended if you want my opinion.

The trailer looks really good, although I didn't really understand SAW V. It was a bit confusing.

i found the first two really good, the third decent, the rest are ****
