Hi,
Monday’s film, I know it’s a little late but I’ve been busy sorting out my DVD collection.
Anyway the film was Saw VI, I started off not really liking these films, well the first one the rest have grown on me. Not to the point I own them, but I have enjoyed the films more as the series has continued.
For me 6 was one of the best ones, directed by Kevin Greulet and starring Tobin Bell as Jigsaw/John. Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor and Shawnee Smith.
Jigsaw continues to seek his revenge on anyone who he feels needs to be taught a lesson.
The opening game is quick and very well staged, this is nothing to the main game in this picture. One which I really enjoyed watching, the victim with a device strapped to each arm and leg must solve four games to get the key for then and be able to remove them. Each game is really well set up, especially the wheel of fortune, this was great just because of the depths people will go to stay alive! The gore levels were pretty tame compared to earlier films, and I think this helped this one a lot.
The acting is pretty average, except from Peter Outerbridge (The main victim) who I thought was really good. Tobin Bell has also done well as well, it’s the rest of them that seem a little hammy!
6 films in and multiple plot lines it’s sometimes hard to join all the dots from the other 5 films but they did include a barrage of flashbacks to help out!
Overall, not as gory, but the games were great (7/10)
6 films in but how many more to go? Was much the same as the others (no 1 is still the best for me). I must admit though I enjoyed this one more than no 5. It must be a continuity nightmare ensuring the storyline is still maintained - some thought has gone into this over the years. Overall no real outstanding moments but it did what was expected of a saw movie 7/10
