Far be it from me to repeat myself insofar as posting movie trailers, but … it’s Saw V. It is Saw V with Tobin Bell even though the beloved, sadistic, yet oddly philanthropic Jigsaw is dead.
The premise: someone discovers Hoffman’s secret, so naturally, he goes on a manhunt filled with a gleefully gruesome array of terror traps and torture devices. People are saying that Saw V is evocative of the original, with an evolution of blood, guts, and gore. Set, of course, to come out in later October of this year, it’ll be in theatres just in time for Halloween.
Jigsaw/John is the only movie madman who was ever able to steal away even a sliver of my undying devotion for Anthony Hopkin’s sauve, rasping Hannibal Lecter. Although a lot of folks are probably getting tired of the Saw movies, I myself find them a thrilling mix of artistic tone and an almost romantically morbidity.
Still, the teaser trailer is absolutely haunting. See for yourself (more…)
