Saw 6 poster hits

Jul. 22, 2009by: JoBlo

Despite the fact that very few people seem to care about the SAW franchise anymore, Lionsgate is gonna keep banging them out until they are no longer making a profit on the films, which between me and you...may still be a while! Today, the horror fiends over at Bloody Disgusting managed the first look at the next installment's poster (we're up to SAW VI in case you're scoring at home), and much like the SHUTTER ISLAND poster, it leaves much to be desired, in my opinion. Click on the to-be-tortured individuals below in order to see the entire poster. What think you?

Extra Tidbit: Tobin Bell has never been, and to this day is not...a fan of horror movies. Huh.

and some people hate them...

...because the movies suck. Danny Glover canceled out his performance in "The Color Purple" with what he phoned in for Saw. There are people convalescing from recent strokes that could turn in more gripping performances.

Saw's are a guilty pleasure to me...i enjoy seeing the new saw every October, even though i sometimes forget what installment we are on. The poster looks pretty cool too. I dont understand the hate. i think some people hate is just because its a popular franchise now

Here's why

They suck.

Acting - horrible. Dialog - undeliverable. Plot - incomprehensible (don't like the hole the previous flick dug you into? Who cares, we'll just change things around with a twist). And twist endings have to be quasi-believable, and not be capable of being guessed early on.

Saying there are better than 90% of the crap just means its in the tenth percentile of crap.

Why All The Hate?

Why all the hate on the Saw movies? Even the worse Saw movie is better than 90% of the crap they call horror movies these days. I'm always entertained during the movies and always love the "twist" endings.

Oh well, the talented Mr. Bell at least recognizes a good paycheck when he sees one. Kind of a shame he's not a bigger actor than he is though, he's had a few memorable roles pre-Saw.

I love how they don't even need to put "saw" on the poster anymore. Why? Because like it or not, the franchise has become that well known, and Jigsaw has become pretty much a horror icon for this generation. I will continue to back this franchise up, if not purely for the ability to make above average horror films (especially compared to what is released year after year in general).

Completely agree with Casinova. Sure the quality since the first may have gone down, but they are still

Completely agree with Casinova. Sure the quality since the first may have gone down, but they are still original. It intrigues me how many people that hate this franchise love the Friday the 13th or NOES franchise. You're telling me every entry in those franchises had great acting, plot, or dialogue? Please. This has become THAT sort of franchise for our generation, our kids will talk about Saw like how must of us grew up with NOES or F13. They are fun, gory, and at least attempt to have a detailed and continuous story line that connect all films.

Puh-lease

Somebody send me the particular Saw movie and time-stamp that contains a scene that someone stands behind. Acting - horrible. Dialogue - worse. Plot - incomprehensible and breaks it's own rules. This franchise - even the first - is garbage.

Nice

Not a fan of the SAW franchise (besides the first one). They're too bloody digusting for me (pun intended). I like the poster, though.

Ooh, a killer merry-go-round. How very, um, devious?

I've liked everything that I've seen with this film so far. I have a feeling this will be more like how the original Saw was judging from the two posters and the plot summary.

Not sure

When people stopped caring. These films still make money, their all original stories, and the have a pretty big fan base. Sure, were all disappointed that the quality has gone down hill, but compared to the pg-13 horror crap that comes out every week, Saw is fucking Shawshank. I;m just saying, let's bad mouth something that is actually terrible, like the Prom Nigth remake, or McG.
