I hate the fact that the SAW series are always next to that stupid Hostel series everywhere.
Hostel really is nothing but a stupid film about people getting kidnapped and tortured in disgusting ways by perverts who will pay for this kind of pleasure.
SAW on the other hand has quite a deep plot - it's almost like a TV series - every year there is a new episode with new clues and new mysteries + a grand plot twist at the end - OKAY - there is also torture in those films, but they really have meaning since people are traped in different machines or other deadly traps. They are there not because they didn't respect life enough - so Jigsaw the mastermind who is dying of cancer - can have something to be happy about. That is important in the philosophy of the film about respecting life - and the rehabilitation of the subject and his or her view of life if they survive, but everyone who happen to be victims and players in Jigsaw's game - all had a meaningful role in one big puzzle - from which we get new information and detail in every new film. Till of course 2009. October 23. when the VI and last part will come out and wrap it all up, and we will find out everything at the very end. We wait it eagerly
One more important thing :
SAW really can't be that bad if it's the most succesful horror franchise ever - and I'm not just saying that because I am a fan- it's fact:
The SAW films - with the premier of the 5. part has made more than : 300 million dollars
Fast leaving behind Jason from Friday the 13th series who made : 317 millon - but with 11 films
Also Michael Myers who made 307 million with 9 films
I don't think so many people can be wrong
Hostel can go to hell I agree with that!
