SAW VI

Considering what garbage Saw 5 was, it's a miracle that Saw 6 isn't a complete waste of time. If you can tell, there's a giant weight hanging over that sentence, and that weight is a not inconsiderable "but".

The thing that makes Saw interesting is that allegedly the people in the film have some choice. The people need to ruin themselves in order to live. However this time about half the people have no choice in the matter and the reasoning that they are in there is occasionally really really weak (Are you single? Or have a family with health issues? Do you smoke? well you might die for those reasons).

Also none of the people have any heart. I don't care if the victims die anymore because most of them are thoroughly unlikeable. And if given a chance history suggests they always do the wrong thing anyway. Of course the only people who ever win are the multitude (jeez there must be about 50 of them now) antagonists from previous films.

Anyway, at this time I have no idea if I'm gonna see 7, I forgave 5 for being shite because 1-4 were okay, but now even the writers can't be arsed and just rehash the old films. And constantly losing is just crap, I don't care if it's the right way for a horror film to end, it's just tiresome and boring now. Mix it up horror men
