I'm pretty sure that I may be the only person who is excited about Saw V coming out at the end of October. I feel like the first two in this series help rejuvenate the horror franchise by not only giving you that element of horror but throwing in the mystery surrounding the entire story of Jigsaw. However, with the third and fourth installments in the franchise, viewers may be getting tired of seeing the same old torture to teach a lesson.
However, that is truly what I like about this franchise. The violence and gore in these movies is not just for the sake of doing "blood and guts." It all plays into Jigsaw's message about truly appreciating your life and making sure that you do not take life for granted. It is very rare that a horror movie will have this kind of theme attached to it.
Despite the fact that these movies seem to be fading amongst movie-goers, I, for one, am excited to see what the writers have planned for the fifth and sixth installments. Personally, the fourth was lacking a bit in the story development as well as some continuity. Yet, I do think that it accomplished what it set out to do, bridge the gap from the third and set the stage for the final two films.
The producers say that this fifth one will revisit much of what made the first one so successful, and I am excited to see what this one will bring to the table.
