What do you think of the SAW franchise?
SAW
I honesty really like them. I do find a lot of the scenes really visceral and disturbing. The best traps, it's hard not to imagine yourself in that situation. The fact that they often have to do the pain themselves, makes it tough.

This is one of my favorite traps. The thought of having to cut out your own eye to save your life is just brutal.
The reboot looks f un.

This one is also crazy
Never Saw them to be honest
You mean seen.
pretty fuckin nasty and childish
I love the Saw franchise desu. Saw 1, 2, 3, and 6 are quality horror films imo.
That looks almost too fun and colorful. I kind of like it grimier. I'm not a huge fan of the "horror series turns campy" trope.
Sneed?
a great premise for a couple movies that got played out into too many movies
I agree, the tone of the trailer seems really off. Hopefully it's just the trailer and not the movie though.
Might rewatch them tomorrow. Not the first one tho it's good but a little too claustrophobic/depressing
That's the tone they're going with, the director already did an interview said it's going to be more fun instead of cruel.
Glad I saw this thread because I really want to share this

I know its just a silly movie and gimmick, but this is honestly one of the most terrifying scenes I've seen in a film. There's just something so disturbing about how the characters start to bargain to avoid death; they know they're probably going to die so they're just saying whatever they can to try to avoid it. I think that's what disturbs me most in horror films: those last few moments of life when people's values and principles go out the window as they try to save it.
I honestly just get the creeps imaging myself being on that carousel.

Truly one of the best, if not the best tweests in any film ever.
Can anyone name their top 3? This should be in it.
Agreed, this one always stuck around with me not cus the trap being especially gory or interesting, but how the people react. That last guys reaction the second he realizes he's going to die is pure terror
The first Saw is mediocre and the big plot twist is complete bullshit.
>The cancer patient who was on screen for 30 seconds and had no dialogue, he was behind it all
From what I've seen of the sequels the concept of punishing people and forcing them to choose between death and disfigurement is thrown in the trash and most of the traps are just torture porn machines. And the entire series gets into some convoluted timeline shit and becomes all about the "mythos" of the Jigsaw killer and his apprentices.
Yeah that disturbs the fuck out of me every time. And when the woman goes "stop it" when he's complaining, that scares me so much, it's like, she's fine! He's the one who's going to die! But that part where it's spinning and he knows he's headed toward his death, and he can do nothing but call him an asshole. Jesus.
Weird question, but has anything like this happened in real life? Or anything close? Where some psycho serial killer sets up these games?
1-3 are pretty good. 4-6 are ok. 7 was shit.
HH Holmes and his murder castle/hotel full of traps
Gay.
7 is the worst received, but I actually think it has some of the most painful traps of the series. That one where the woman gets impaled in her eyes and throat is very hard to watch, as well as the one where he has to stick hooks through the skin of his pecs. And the one with the car, where his skin is peeled to the seat.
Actually, when I think about it, it has the most painful traps of all.
I think there was a dude that turned his apartment building into a murder death trap. Also on a related topic, those hostel movies or w/e had shit like that happen in an asian country
What was the best kill?
Well that's disappointing, I was looking forward to the new film.
>quip
>the realization that the key went down the drain at the start of the film
That haunts me. The fact it all could have been avoided, but there was no way to know the key was there.
it should have ended at 3
That one with the car was in fact, Chester Bennington
That was a very interesting read, thanks
If you had to pick one trap to experience for yourself, which would pick? On the contrary, which pick would you just choose death instead of trying to complete?
Its pure gore torture porn, and there's nothing wrong with that, but did anyone else have a problem with 5?
1. Key trap
Have one person go out, unlock themselves, break the boxes and toss them to the rest of the people, 30 seconds tops, all live.
2. Bomb Shelter
There was EASILY enough room for 2 of the girls to fit in one, fire marshal and arsonist in one, and fatty in another. Again, all live.
3. Electric chain
5 people, 5 wires, mid level shock, all 5 live again.
4. Blood Jar
They needed 10 pints to win. The adv body has 1.25 gal (10 pints) per person. sure you would be woozy but nothing major. Game, blouses.
They even realize this at the end but NOOOooo, it had to be gore porn... Personally I think it would have been a better movie if they all survived, but hey that's my rant.
congrats man, you watched the movie. Everything you said was the twist. They all could have survived
"Never seen" is grammatically incorrect.
Amanda's trap since I don't have to hurt myself and you could probably cut someones stomach open and have them survive if you got them an ambulance fast enough (and hope they don't sue me)
I guess what I meant to say is if at the end they all survived Strahm's death would have been more tragic since he would see that these selfish people worked together to conquer the traps therefor justifying that Jigsaws methods actually worked.
Like other user said, amanda's trap, since it's the only one where you don't have to hurt yourself
for the others, there's probably a lot where i would choose death. the ones where you have to cut our your eyes are fucking terrifying and i don't think i could do it
>tfw your life is so empty you'd just be like "whatever its cool man let me die and save someone else"
What? This is the point of the entire movie. They were selfish assholes only out for themselves and at the end they realize they were all supposed to work together.
In the key trap they were distracted trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. They wake up in a trap with all these other people and one guy nobody's ever met seems to know everyone already. That freaked out the panicky guy who panicked and started the timer, at which point the only thing people know is they have to get their key before they get decapitated. They didn't think that one person could free everyone, that's the kind of shit you'd have to plan in advance not with a 60 second timer counting down to your death. It's hard to imagine being calm and rational under that amount of pressure.
The electric chain might be the worst trap in the series. I mean, the girl was already dead, so there is absolutely no tension at all.
I don't get it why doesn't he push the buttons
Being stabbed in the hand isn't THAT bad, it's not like it won't heal
He can only push it twice. four people had to die
He could have at least tried it to see if it worked more than twice.
The one where Amanda has to sift through the guy's intestines and later finds out the guy was alive. It wouldn't harm me.
I would absolutely not want the one with the key behind the eye. Both alternatives seem absolutely horrifying: cutting through the eye or being impaled in an Iron Maiden. I'd probably attempt to slit my throat with the scalpel.
Yasss kween!!! would have been great as a trilogy.
this new Saw movie is basically a soft reboot, right?
SAW: 7/10; personally love this movie
SAW II: 5/10; "could've been worse"
SAW III - VII: 1~2/10; not worth the time.
Why the fuck did Jigsaw leave Adam trapped in that bathroom? He survived and won his game, cruel as fuck
you know, the Saw franchise would be perfect for one of those telltale video games
All the traps in 5 seemed pretty tameless considering, if you used common sense you'd come out with very little permanent damage.
I wouldn't try attempting to pull hooks out of my skin like In 3. That shit can fuck off.
Also is anyone hoping for some brutal deaths just from the trailer? That laser one looks sick
this one always seemed like an easy trap to foil, the electronics were exposed, same with the ammunition, plus the bicycle spokes were exposed, plus the wrist wraps were weak. Someone could have easily broken their own hand to get out of that
I kind of like how it carries over a decent narrative for 7 movies all connected. The blood and gore trap stuff is the least interesting part of it really. I thought it was funny in the last one that the self help phony jigsaw victim failed every test and his wife saw him as a phony in her last moments.
until dawn took some inspiration from it but I definitely agree
I saw it
