I think the carousel is what makes it disturbing. Personally, when I think of it, I think of when I was younger..when I’d play games on it (and fall off, haha).

What makes the carousel so disturbing, IMO, is that they can take something that you associate with children and/or childhood and turn it into a deathtrap. Personally, I think that’s more effective than have each arm and leg attached to a car driving in an opposite direction.

Pssst, Saw writers. Billy is only the face of saw, you don’t have to go with the clown gimmick.

I was not a huge fan of Saw V, but will certainly be going to see the sixth just because I’m hoping the writers can pull off a nice twist like in the earlier movies.

Saw 1 Ace
Saw 2 Ace
Saw 3 Good
Saw 4 Ace
Saw 5 Poor

Yeah, this is old. They DID have the carousel clip, but Lionsgate’s (the last time I checked) was taking those down.

..Probably because fans were hardcore analyzing it and figuring stuff out before the film was released. It’s refreshing to not know everything.

I think five was a pure ‘filler’ for the SAW franchise. I agree that 5 was definitely a “wtf” movie, with the choosing of the random group of people…and it MIGHT explain their real purpose of being in the movie (there’s a screenshot of Jill pinning up pictures of the victims, along with their tapes, on a wall).

But I guess they’re there because of the scandal they all revolved around involving the fire that was fixed.

..that’s all I got.

Now, I still love SAW, and will probably continue to watch the series until it ends…but I can’t help but be bummed out and disappointed that Lionsgate would want at least two (maybe three) more sequels of a series that was planned to finally end at 7. I know it’s like “oh, well they shouldve ended it at like…the first one”, but if you paid attention to interviews and such, they were already planning on making seven SAWs, for whatever reason….now nine?!?!?? That’s where they lost me.

However, the SAW train is inevitable, so at this point there’s nothing we can do but sit through the next three years of everybody in the film dying, maybe even the antagonist, but somehow finding a way to ressurect the bad guy. Cheers.
