"If it's Halloween it must be..." SAW VI Opens Today


If it's Halloween, it must be SAW.

As I've mentioned HERE, the Saw movies aren't really my thing but I admire them for consistently putting out a film the week before Halloween EVERY YEAR.  It's a business model that seems to work for them and a feat that I don't think any other horror franchise has attempted or maintained. 

The reviews, typically, are abyssmal with major critics but, unlike Saw V, the horror community seems to be enjoying this latest entry. 

Having not been on board since III, I simply will admire their marketing from afar and promise myself that I'll sit down and watch the entire series in one weekend to get caught up.  I feel like there's a hole in my horror pop culture being out of the loop.


I like the teaser poster with the spiral merry-go-round but found the 2nd poster to be a little unclear.  Took me a couple viewings to realize "oooooh they made the Roman Numeral 6 out of the device and cord... I get it."
Maybe my brain was clouded with processed candy-corn sugar. 

Check it out and let me know how it is.

I can't do anymore SAW movies. The first one was fine, but they have beat that horse until there's no fluids left in it.

I'm like you. Saw III was the last one I took in. Although I did find Scream Queens devilishly entertaining!

The first thing I thought of when I saw that poster was Donnie Darko.
