Real talk the Feds need to keep an eye on the people that thought of all the traps for these movies. Some of them was straight :picard: status

Breh...The Rack trap was probably the worst trap out of the whole entire series. The fact that dude not only died but slowly as his limbs were getting twisted one by one:scust:.

The saw series are perfect viewing for horror marathons.

Unlike other horror series the film's can be watched front to back like one huge event,like a tv series playing out.




The ONLY truly bad one to me is the 7th. There was problems behind the production of that one and it showed.

Here's a question for the horror heads cause I've been thinking about it. We know horror goes in cycles and subgenre pops and has their day. Is Saw still a relevant thing in the era of horror we're in now? Ironically enough, James Wan is kinda the one who's brought us into this era now of psychological horror, which may make it hard for his old franchise to breathe. But can Saw and that style of horror be as successful now as it was in the mid 2000s when Saw was king and we just wanted a lot of graphic horror

Funny enough I think it will work.


At the tail end of saws run the torture/gore horror had run its course and was tired.


Now we've gotten to the point where the paranormal/ghost stuff has dominated so long that this film can work as a bit of counter culture in horror and a change of pace.

True. But part of what works for Saw is the shock. How do you shock an audience who watches the walking dead every week, which is damn near saw level gore? I'm not saying it can't I'm just genuinely curious how it will play in the US specifically. That era of Saw/Hostel/Wolf Creek/High Tension, etc also had a country going to war and an economy headed down a bad path. Much like Hooper and Craven and Carpenter took advantage of the Vietnam undercurrent, guys like Wan and Roth did the same for Iraq and Afghanistan where we were seeing horrific shyt on tv or hearing about it or reading about it. Those movies were a release. I think the next wave of horror is going to reflect where we are now socially and politically and for me, that's still zombies (unfortunately)
