The latest chapter in the ever-increasingly complicated and confusing franchise in which the only question to ask is "have you seen the first five films?" Because it is now practically impossible to follow the convoluted non-linear plotline and just settle back and "enjoy" the death traps,of which the first one in particular is sensationally gruesome in the extreme.
The identity of the principal "villains" is in doubt right to the end although when they are finally unmasked it was not a complete surprise.Each film costs about $10,000,000 to make and makes $50,000,000 at least so it will come as no surprise to hear that not only Saw VII is underway but that Saw VIII has been greenlit as well.
This is an extremely violent franchise but continues to be well-written and acted - the victims are less than shining examples of society to say the least and their eventual fate is nearly always deserved.This is by some considerable way the best horror franchise ever made and the standard shows no sign of flagging.
When compared to the above-discussed remake of Halloween II it is easily seen that there is no comparison whatsoever as they are as alike as chalk and cheese.As sadistic and unpleasant as ever,not for the faint-hearted at all.Wonderful.8/10
