Saw VI

👍

I am a SAW fan since the second instalment. All that I can say is that I was amazed by this one ! In my country (Romania), only the third instalment had a world premiere. The fourth appeared after 6 months and the fifth after three and a half months. But today I was amazed... I saw SAW VI before the Americans, along the australians, greeks and new zeelanders. Kevin Greutert directed this movie. In his special way. He did the cuts on every SAW movie and I think he helped a lot on this one. The movie is bloodier than the first 5 movies. Even from the first scene (the usual game before the "SAW x" screen). You will find a lot of answers here. I was watching the boards here. Some of you, guys, were right. You'll find answers on questions from SAW 3 and SAW 5, and also from the hole series (there is a question remaining about the medical care... and no, this don't have anything in common with Dr. Gordon - although he appears in a discussion only named by someone). By the way... all the critics from the board must ask appologies from the SAW fans... the real fans... As in SAW 5 we have two twists. Both at the end... There is a fine remake of the "Hello Zep" Theme by Charles Clouser at the beginning of the first twist and the unforgettable "Hello Zep" at the end (God, I love this song !!!). Some of you will say that the ending was to be expected. I tell you that it isn't so, but 50%. The last image before de credits roll over the screen just blew me away... A perfect ending for the second trilogy. Also, the second favorite part in the series - you'll see that is better than the rest of them. I just can't wait for the seventh part... And I'm only a year away from it !!!

"Saw VI" opens when "Saw V" ended.Special Agent Strahm is dead and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy.However,when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman,he is forced to set a game into motion,and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.I saw "Saw VI" during its premiere on Horror Festival in Poland.I am not a big fan of "Saw" series,but Part VI is a slight improvement over disappointing Part V.There are some gruesome gore-filled traps like the one in which two people are in a device that has their heads trapped in a box like item,and has two bolts going into their temples and they are required to cut off their own flesh to weigh out the scales.The main person who is playing Jigsaw's game is William,who denies a sick man an insurance.There is also carousel room trap and the trap with oxygen masks in which two players are breathing and the death comes to the person,who breathes more.The melting scene is admittedly gruesome.Overall,the film is worth watching for solid acting and the gore,but epileptic editing and the lack of suspense are disappointing.Still if you are a rabid fan of "Saw" series or have 85 minutes to kill give this one a look.

The Saw series has become a "what we could have done the last time" event. Every movie feels like it is geared more towards over explaining past events rather than focusing on the new events that are unfolding. This instalment, which will not be the the last, is worse than the previous for this. The story is DUMB, the structure is BORING and you find yourself thinking "did I just come to see the crazy brutal ways the vics are going to die?" To me the answer was yes. I am not saying you will or should hate this movie, but the original Saw was a masterful piece of horror/suspense/thriller cinema and somewhere around Saw 4 the wheels just totally fell off. So my final verdict is 2/10....BOO

How am I feeling? Shocked. I walked into this movie with the lowest of expectations because I really wasn't satisfied or impressed by any of the sequels and I was not expecting to be impressed by this one either. Well.....I stand corrected. I personally am not a fan of the Saw series but this movie alone despite the failure in in the past has made me a fan. All the unanswered questions were all brought together with a twist through each one. The violence and gore that Saw has brought to us continues but this time a well thought plot with meaning and character development is attached. The way everything comes together is mind-blowing and yes......my mind is literally blown. This movie was so outstanding that it has redeemed this failing series. If your not a fan of Saw do NOT let that turn you away because you will NOT be disappointed. This is nothing like the others. It takes a completely different approach for the good. Wow.......just wow was this ever good. While I would not give most of the other sequels over a 5 I give this movie 10 because of the fact of how I could not think of any way this movie could have been better. It was literally perfection.

While I'll admit that this was indeed better than Saw V, I still did not like this movie at all. Ever since Saw IV, the series has become a total "Let's-try-to-come-up-with-as-many-gory-deaths-as-possible" game. I'm betting that a lot of the positive reviewers are either: A)Easily pleased B)People who have not seen the movie and are giving it good reviews because they love the Saw movies C)A.D.D. teenagers who have not seen very many movies Here, we've got Kevin Greutert in the director's chair. Now direction wise, he does a much better job than David HACKl. (I capitalized the first four letters for a reason- that's what HACKl is when it comes to directing). That said, this movie still sucked. It suffers from the same issues as Saw V- Too many flashbacks, rushed pacing, too many ideas with not enough time to pay attention to one specific detail. However, where this is an improvement over Saw V is in many things. Tobin always delivers as Jigsaw and here he gives his best performance as Jigsaw. Jill is great too. I liked the overall look of the movie, and the gore was realistic looking too- not the CG crap like in Saw IV and V. That is unfortunately where it stops. None of the traps are creative at all (the janitor trap? WTF). The movie was 75% flashbacks, which bored the hell out of me. The acting was bad as usual- but then again, with the exception of Jigsaw,when has the acting ever been good in a Saw movie. And that ending.Total bullshit! The second it was over, I thought "What the hell was that????". In short, will I see Saw VII? Yes, but only because I just wanna see how the series will end up. It's impossible for one to think this would be a Freddy/Jason series, but it has turned out that way.

While a long time Saw fan,the last 2 entries,(the vastly complicated part 4 and the flashback heavy part 5) in my opinion, really weakened what was a consistent franchise.For the new installment, long time Saw editor Kevin Greutert takes over for Saw V helmer David Hackl to inject a new perspective on the long standing torture franchise. In this entry, if you have read the synopsis by now you know that Detective Hoffman stands alone as Jigsaws successor and that Peter Strahm is dead.That pretty much is the most I can say about the plot since anything else that is said will ruin the movie. All i can say though is that this entry really put my excitement back in the franchise that was quickly dying. The acting is still quite flimsy,as per usual for the Saw series, but Tobin Bell lifts every scene he's in and has probably one of his greatest scenes in the series midway into the movie that without a doubt will make you realize that this series is nothing without Mr.bell. But of course the traps is what the Saw fans come for and there are the most inventive traps since Saw III,and once again nothing will be said of them until you watch the movie. To all interested Saw fans,most of the series unanswered questions pretty much get answered and brings a bit of finality to it,but its disappointing 2 more sequels got announced since i felt this was a good way to put the final nail in the series but we will see what the future holds

I thought this movie was just as good as the first one if not maybe better. I'm giving it a 7 just because Im a really tough grader but be assured this is a really great movie. Im a pretty big fan of the Saw series and have liked every one but this one may take the cake along with the original. This Saw was actually a movie and had a plot behind it and also revealed a lot of unanswered questions from the other Saw's. It wasn't just a filler type movie like I thought the other ones were. There are a lot of good twists and turns but without giving anything away just play close attention and you will be able to figure the stuff out on your own before it happens. But still a great movie. Well worth the 8 dollars

I rarely listen to my own advice when I am in Vegas and generally I lose because of it. (Side note: I am in Vegas right now, on the 29th floor of the Palazzo and I didn't listen to my own wise gambling advice. I've been broke for 2 days now.) Well, the same comes to movies. I keep stating, writing and promising to give up on bad films/series and especially stop supporting them (financially, that is,) so Hollywood finally gets back on track with better made films. (The more people see trash like 2012, for example, the more cr*p we'll be subjected to.) That all being said, surprisingly enough, 'Saw VI' was better than the previous entry. Of course, that's not saying much. This latest installment was trash, of course, with horrid acting, a zillion flashbacks, and as a series trend, flashbacks within flashbacks and a million crossovers from previous chapters. When I finished watching this, knowing this is probably geared towards the young male audience, I laughed thinking they've been duped into watching a soap opera. Yep, the Saw series is now a soap opera, albeit an extremely gory one – probably what Dark Shadows wanted to be, but in no way could attempt decades ago. I haven't even seen too many soaps in my time to know the transition scenes from one flashback or plot twist to the next is the exact techniques they use in the daytime dramas. They even have (spoiler) the blond be the back-stabbing b*tch in one of probably 37 subplots. Though it's old-school now (by part VI,) they bring back Jigsaw again, through, yep you guessed it, more flashbacks and videos he made prior to death. (Side Note: I guess by using this method, they think they're clever on spinning the old Friday the 13th or Halloween psycho "rebirths" in their opening segments, but in reality, it's just stale by now.) Does this guy have more recorded videos than Blockbuster? Does this guy have about $1 billion dollars and enough real estate to pull off about 16 dozen "traps"? I'm guessing they "explain" everything, but you begin to wonder by now if this guy owned half the city and no one ever wondered why he was always converting old, disgusting warehouses into death traps. It's really irrelevant to describe the plot this time, but here goes: the "new" ideas they came up with: two companies, one financial, one insurance apparently p*ssed off Jigsaw when he was alive and from the grave, Jigsaw uses his newest accomplice (one of many in the series) to set the traps of the employees in motion. Only this time a lot of people need to decide on who lives and who dies. This is a change from the original traps where people only had their own fate to worry about. While the previous two Saw movies toned down the gore, mercifully (what originally made the movies good in the beginning was them focusing on the story over gore,) again, they stepped it back up again, almost from minute one. Now, Saw III still is the leader in gore in the series, and the #1 goriest movie I have ever seen, this one breaks in the top 5. Sincerely, I've got to listen to myself and avoid the next two in the franchise, supposedly the final two. Honestly, by this point, I just don't care how the series pans out. I've said this before: they should've ended with #3 with the death of Jigsaw. What possible conclusion could there be? Jigsaw never died, it was his slightly less evil twin? It was all a dream but when Jigsaw wakes up he smiles indicating the series is getting a reboot? Or best yet, no one truly died, a la April Fool's Day, and everyone turns to the audience, says "Thank you all for coming, and remember to appreciate life!" while holding hands and bowing? I see the torture p*rn movies are finally dying out (while the reboots of the 1980/70s slashers increase) and hopefully, this series will as well.

Just seen Saw 6 in New Zealand as it opens a day before the states & it was awesome & the best Saw movie yet . There are more & better traps than any previous Saw movie & the gore scale has been raised also all is revealed in this one Jigsaws legacy has almost come to an end but there will be just a little more to come in Saw 7 ( 3D ) . There are bigger Twists at the end of Saw 6 than all the Saw movies combined . Saw 6 is a real treat for Saw fans & horror buffs it is wonderfully written & directed , the continuing story line from the previous 3 Saw movies comes full circle & is an amazing story that has unfolded " Go see it you'll love it" .
