Saw 3 Options

Anyone excited to see it? Its suppose to come out during fall.

Yeah, we all knew it. But, that doesn't mean I can't loathe it more and more.
The first Saw was bad enough and the only real torture was off-screen, inside the theater. But, a second? I couldn't imagine another horror putting the original to shame, and then the sequel proved me wrong.

Now a third?! Gag on some ridiculous and elaborate set piece straight out of some Nine Inch Nails music video. I can't remember the point of horror being instantaneous disbelief, followed by laughter. Why, lord!? Why?!

Saw is a prime example of the decapitating qualities bad editing can have on the presence of atmosphere or the onset of true suspense. Working on a low budget, our sorry filmmakers might have assumed that a cut a second could hide some of those B-movie qualities, but all it did for me was flashbacks to jean and car commercials. Instead of aiding a theme or creating an illusion, Saw's editing has effectively reminded me: I'm watching a movie. More painfully, it has induced the headache of bastardly stylized MTV-dick-directing.

For its editing alone I despise it, however it begs more and more for my disaproval. It makes the fatal mistake of confusing sadism and nonsensical torture with horror. Even snuffing out the potentional of horror in mystery by methodicly explaining each frame, but still magically making little to no sense. It posists a theme (the value of life) which fails miserably in its wake. A serial killer whose philosophy is equated into games of unspeakable unfairness. This isn't smart, or clever. It's a rehashing of every other serial killer story we've ever heard with a music video twist, ontop of bad acting, surprise without reason, and a bombastic disreguard for its characters (in any sense).

Amazingly enough, the second proved to be even more horrible than the first. Will they never stop?!

Worst horror film in recent memory, just behind The Grudge.
