    Which begs the question....how the fuck did Chris Rock get involved?

    He produced it. He’s a huge “Saw” fan, and James Wan and Leigh Whannel (who are both whales now) produced it with him.

    Saw is wannabe Se7en. It didn’t need a sequel and instead it got Friday The 13thed with a villain who was killed off in the third film. By the second film I was already questioning “How does he afford these fucking things? And who builds them?”

    Chris Rock loves the saw movies. He wanted to do this.

    First Saw was part thriller with a half decent twist ending. Then it became dismemberment porn.

    I really enjoyed the first one. It was pretty violent, but the twist was jaw-dropping. I didn’t care for the subsequent gore porn either. The entire saga was clearly unplanned and they had multiple “last” movies that were then undone. How many times can Jigsaw come back from the dead or have planned an elaborate series of traps prior to his death(s)? The ever-expanding concentric circles of, “No, this guy was the real apprentice all along!” was pretty silly.

    I wish I hadn’t guessed the twist during the first time I watched it. I didn’t see it as a twist because it seemed obvious the dead guy was going to wake up eventually.

    It was a decent thriller with a great music score, then the sequels ruined it: Cary Elwes is cringe in it no matter how you like the film.

    This is why we pay for Netflix, I am 100% sold on this flick now. I’m glad Snyder made this as a companion piece for his Dawn Of The Dead remake. This is gonna be fun.

    Yeah, that looks so awesome. Edgar Wright has been long overdue to make a horror film after the “Don’t” trailer, this looks straight out of the best Giallo films and Polanski’s “Repulsion”.

    Shyamalan has the ability to be the best.... or the worst (He owes us an apology for the ending to “Glass”). This one is up in the air, the graphic novel it’s based on is VERY disturbing....

    I haven't read the book but I based an entire D&D campaign around this idea about 15 years ago.

    It would be impossible to be worse than the first one, but this looks sooooo much better.

    Having a good director instead of a terrible director is definitely a plus. Getting rid of some of the annoying characters works wonders too, with the exception of this annoying bossgirl version of Harley Quinn that for some reason stays popular.

    So they actually did the “Halloween” thing here, not a soft reboot but a direct sequel to the 1992 classic, negating the awful sequels.
