Plot 411: The sixth installment about a serial killer who goes about teaching his victims life lessons.
Review: Apparently this series just won't die, kinda like the Jigsaw killer. If you're a Saw fan, you'll probably enjoy this sixth edition tremendously. If you're only an on-again-off-again fan, you'll probably think that it's ridiculous that there is even a sixth film. If you hate the series, you'll continue hating it after viewing this reincarnation. This is the continuation of Saw V and the main players are back through memories and flashbacks. I was pretty much naive to think that it'd be the last one. There's an entirely new set of victims but only a handful of new traps. Well, they're probably new but they just don't seem as shocking as some of the others. Does that mean that we, as a society, have become too accustomed to violence or that the traps really did suck this time around? I think both are true. I've seen all the films in this horror series and still maintain that the first one is the best. This movie did have some pretty good bowel effects though. If you're into this blood and guts kinda thing, then by all means see this movie. Otherwise, I'm not pushing it. Starring in this film are Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell and Shawnee Smith.
Watch It: For the pretty awesome special effects of blood and guts.
Skip It: Because if you've seen one, you've seen 'em all.
