Saw V (2008)
Country: USA
Director: David Hackl
Main Stars: Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Julie Benz, Meagan Good, Mark Rolston, Carlo Rota, Laura Gordon
Storyline: Jigsaw starts again as this one continues right after Saw IV
Review (Spoils): Kicking off right from the end of the last movie.We dig deeper into the connection of the survivors and Jigsaw. Jigsaw is seen as dead and has left Jill a special box as part of her inheritance and she has the key.(Yeah, a mystery box) Detective Hoffman and his whole connection to Jigsaw as everything is slowly coming to light as the murders are not over.
We have the traps as usual such as swinging blades, water box trap, collar traps (as always), beheading, baseball bats, nail bombs, fire explosions, shotgun traps, Jigsaw kidnappings, pig masks, flash backs to past murders and the behind the scenes of them. Neck stabs, bathtub with electricity, meat hook to the head, blood jars with saw blades and a nice, crushed body.
Nothing out of the ordinary for the film to the series very open ended again to be continued.
Rating: This film is more of an explanation of how Jigsaw did it all and so was all involved in the setups, murders and how to find the guilty. Sure, there is a small group of five also being played in the background of all this but really the main purpose of this film is Jigsaw explanation. Kind of key point of the series but at the same time not as intense as the other Saw films. The backstories on the five in the situation is kind of lame and felt just jammed together within the filming. It actual hurts the film more than adds to the horror of it.
5/10 Beers!
