Saw V

Synopsis:
Jigsaw is back, sort of, and tormenting more people through manipulation, confusion and torture.

The Pros:
• Gory – Kind of

The Cons:
• Completely Redundant
• Twist spoiled early on in the movie – no surprises
• Pure Gimmickry without a strong story
• The Narrative is weak
• The filming is shoddy and clichÈd
• Adds nothing new to the series

Final Analysis:
This movie is better left on the shelves of your video store. After five movies and going forward with number six, I wish Jigsaw would put these studio execs in a life-saving puzzle. The first Saw was a phenomenal and fresh take on the horror/thriller genre. It seems that now it has become a very weak and watered down self parody. Especially insulting was the little flash back sequence showing you all the clues and events leading up to the “great” plot twist that has been featured in all the Saw movies, as if the film makers were more clever than your pets.

Avoid this One.
