This’ll be a quick and simple review. If you’re not a fan of the series then you certainly wouldn’t have made it through to this, the sixth instalment. If you are a fan of the series, then you are not going to want any spoilers. The first Saw still stands alone as an ingenious thriller with a bit of gore, which, in hindsight, due to the carnage of the rest of the franchise, seems almost tame now. Saw II was passable for a sequel with a decent twist at the end. Saw VI, continues on in very much the same vain as the previous three films. More traps (you'll need a strong stomach for the opening scene), more outrageous plot lines (holes!) and a smart twist at the end. It really does feel like we’re seen it all before now though, and the twist for Saw VI, though you don’t see it coming, is the weakest of the series so far. One of the taglines for the film was “The game comes full circle”. With Saw’s VII and VIII having already been given the green light, you might suggest the producers have put said circle in their beloved reverse Venus Fly/Head trap.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
It’s been trying its best, but “the game” really does seem to be up now. Rating: 4/10
