Nope, I'm avoiding it like the plague. The Saw series have been going down hill since the first iteration.

Havent seen any of them, dont plan on seeing any of them. They all look like crap, its like the director says "Lets come up with ways to kill people and then show our good effects." Every time one of my friends tell me about it they are just saying, "So this one guy died like this, this other guy died like this, and oh ya that guy died like this." Hooray for people dying, idk I just think they are all dumb. But hey thats just me

I'm not a big fan of torture movies...I don't see the entertainment in watching human beings tortured. Or anything for that matter.

I might see it once its like on TV or something. The first film was amazing. 2 was meh, and only meh. Same with 3. 4 was awful. I dunno why but I just feel like since I went as far as 3 I might as well see the rest of the series, but I don't wanna see it in the theaters, its not that important to me.

The 1st Saw film had a certain charm to it, felt almost like a poor mans Se7en. Unfortunately after the 1st one the series devolved into a series of gory encounters.
The characters are bland, the story is dull and the whole thing is to self serious. There isn't any camp to speak of in the whole series. Let me have a laugh or two with my gore. I miss the days of Evil Dead 2 and Braindead, the gorestick thing was great.
The American Horror film has taken a nose dive in recent year. We are stuck with remakes from Japan and the 70s...and of course the torture porn films...damn you Miike for making Audition and Ichi the Killer which inspired Hostel and Saw.
The only fun I've had with horror films in recent years were the slew of Zombie films and the bulk of those were British! Other than those it's the direct to DVD stuff, like Teeth and Inside.
Maybe Splinter will be good...that is really my only hope for this year...and The Strangers wasn't that bad even though it's almost Funny Games.
I'm sorry for the rant.

is there a plot to saw or just people getting killed?
Personally i think they should have the nut-house people on standby hen movies like saw and hostel let out, and when somebody says "that was awesome" they throw a burlap-sack over your head and haul you off to the crazy house.
Your watching a movie where literally all that happens is people suffer, get tourtered, dismembered, and generally just die in awful disgusting ways. I know its not real, but with todays visual effects, it might as well be. Seriously, im unsure how
1. these movies are even allowed to be produced/shown.
2. People actually watch, enjoy, and look forward to them.
If your one of those people, then whatever, thats just my opinion on it, and im stickn to it.

I clicked on this thread thinking the creator finally "Saw V (For Vendetta)" I am disapointed it is about the latest installment in "MILK THIS MOVIE UNTIL IT DIES" department. I'm still waiting on Saw - IN SPACE! and Jigsaw vs Jason, and I swear to God if any of <--those make it into a movie, someone's house is getting egged.
