Zombie Horror and Movie Review: THE SAW FRANCHISE

http://horrormoviereview.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/the-saw-franchise/

I've watched all the Saw films and have come to the conclusion that the franchise needs to end. In recent interviews actor Tobin Bell who plays the lead character of Jigsaw said that his character still needed to be fully dug into. Which insinuated that there should be more Saw films to come because his character was not fully understood with movie goers. Respectfully to the actor I feel that their is not much more they can do with his character since he was killed off in the third film. I feel that it was almost impossible for his character and his cohorts to develop all those devices and schemes in that limited time that his character had left.

It is obvious to me that the producers are just spitting out these films for the profit motive. And I have no problem with that motive. But I feel that the actors involved as passionate and as they may be about their characters, should not feel that the franchise is some how special in the horror movie genre. It is not. The first Saw was great! It had a great plot and twist at the end, but as creative as the schemes that were developed by Jiggsaw the rest of the films lacked depth and were very predictable. You can also tell that the last four tried to capture the great plot twist of the first one but fell way short.  I feel that it is time for this franchise to end and come up with something different but as equally powerful as the first Saw film.
