Sore experience: Watching five Saw films back-to-back
I’m too hungover to update, and everyone is geeking out to Steve Jobs announcing the iPad anyway.
In lieu of a test card, have this link to an article I wrote on the Saw All-Nighter for the Guardian. Try to ignore my stupid fucking hair in the byline photo. It was 2008. Mistakes were made.
We’ll have a review of VI and a preview of VII coming soon.

TV spot for Saw VI from Lionsgate
There really is still something exhilarating about Tobin Bell’s voice as John Kramer/Jigsaw. Shame he DIED AT THE END OF PART III.
(And there should have been an end to it. Stuck record, etc.)

Saw VI teaser trailer
I can’t believe that the carousel scene is being touted as the main teaser for Saw VI. I’ve seen the full clip and it is completely devoid of any suspense. It’s also deeply worrying that this odd CGI trailer says nothing about the film at all, apart from reiterating the “6” motif. Well whoopie shit.
The only synopsis released by Lionsgate is this:
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.
It doesn’t bode well for the sixth instalment of a series that could and should have called it a day with the third.
Having sat through films I-V all in one go last Halloween, I came to the conclusion that only the odd-numbered films are good. And this was being kind to V, particularly since by the time I got to it, I was near-delirious.
If getting a face full of shotgun on a kids’ roundabout is the piece de resistance this time around, I might not even bother with it this Halloween…
