I am considering buying a copy of the Saw Trilogy box set, and the only place I can find it (FYE) does not have it used, so I have to buy it new for $40, if I even decide on getting it. I'm a little concerned about the packaging, since the set has 6 discs. Can anyone who owns the set post some pics of what the inside of the set looks like? Thanks!

Did you see Saw?

(hyuk, get it, see-saw? hyuk)
Ermm... enough of that...

Personally, I watched the first three (because I had blind bought them,) and I am getting rid of all 3...

I am a big horror junkie, and they were pointless to me.

No, I didn't see any of the Saw movies but I'm going to see Saw V next weekend and I want to be caught up. I'll probably buy this set and Saw IV Plus, I can't find the individual 2 disc sets anywhere new or used so I figure I might as well pick this up, since $40 for 6 discs is around $7 per disc. Plus I am a huge horror fan, so I'm sure I'll like it, since there's hardly a movie I don't like (with the exception of a few)...

Why not wait until Saw VI is released and they release an ultra box set or something?
It's highly inevitable....

Because by then Saw V will be out?

I'm pretty sure they're going to release a Saw film each Halloween until people stop watching them or the inevitable death of each and everybody on the planet due to over consumption of Earth's resources.

And sadly, I think the latter's the most likely reason for the "franchise" to end personally.

I believe Bloody-Disgusting posted a news article about the Lionsgate honchos going on record saying they intend to keep the Saw franchise going for a long time. Meaning a new movie every year. I imagine they're cheap to make. They're certainly cheaply put together in terms of quality: poorly written, no character, cliched production & art design (bad movies, all around). So this could easily develop into a Friday the 13th situation. The returns far exceed the costs.

But, the new millennium has become a lot like the 1980's. In the 80's, ya had your Police Academy series which wouldn't stop. This decade- we have Harry Potter. Lots of trilogies starting or stopping, for instance- Beverly Hills Cop, Star Wars, The Naked Gun, Crocodile Dundee. The new millennium: Matrix (continued into), Pirates, X-Men.

So- anything's possible. And by that, I mean- Saw VIII and IX are most definitely possible.


Oh... and... they are in fact: god-awful movies.

I enjoyed the first two. I saw the third just out of curiosity to finish up the trilogy. That was, of course, before I knew it would be more than just a trilogy. I haven't seen anything after the third one, and I probably never will. Unless they give some Halloween marathon on TV one day and I have absolutely nothing better to do.

I wish I had the first clue about what in these movies people find enjoyable.

They have absolutely no style (apart from cliched, recycled MTV camera tricks and choppy editing), they're not scary, they're as intense as riding in a truck filled with drunken people (which you can do for free- doesn't cost you a DVD rental or a theater-ticket price), and at best- they're as sophisticated as an episode of that trashy, terrible C.S.I. show on TV. The character development is superficial and almost non-existent. The ideas are completely ripped off from Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, and Kiss the Girls. The writing is pretentious and irritatingly amateur.

It's so easy to call this a series that started off okay but has just gone on too long. It's far more accurate to say- they never had anything good to begin with, are wasting peoples' time, and that everyone who gave these movies a good review are completely brainwashed.

you can get most of the saw films for 5 bucks each at walmart, dont by the box
