You can see by my summary that I don't think highly of this film. I also didn't think highly of the "Saw" movies. I watched this with few expectations of anything unique, new or original, and my expectations were met on every level.
Permit me to coin a term: Goresturbation. That's what the Saw movies were, and that's what this is. It's not even scary. It's just a collection (pardon the pun) of bloody scenes, always bloody, all the time for no real reason, and especially to NO GOOD EFFECT. If you like this movie after watching it, I question YOUR sanity. There is but one quality in this movie, and all 7 of the Saw movies, and the Feast movies: Gore. It's really not enough to make a movie, and yet die-hard fans flock to it and give it great reviews because lots of people get splattered. I guess I just expect more out of a movie, but unfortunately some other people seem to have severely lower expectations.
This film spits in the face of common sense, logic, good acting, worthwhile plot development, character development and almost every other facet of worthwhile movie making. The special effects were bad also.
But the part that really gets to me the most is how insulting it is. The writers assume that you'll just eat up whatever they hand you. They assume that they can get away with anything as long as there's gore. It's so amazingly inane that having the creators literally come to my home and spit in my soup could only be worse. And that means something coming from me! I LOVE bad movies, and I make allowance for anything if there's some real originality and creativity behind it, or at least attempted in it somewhere. But this had none of that. It's been done before. Seen before. 7 times in fact. This movie should be named "Saw: Regurgitated." It's crap. Event the music sucked.
The only part of this film that I found even remotely redeeming was the very small tribute to Dario Argento.
Now I'll try to find something good to say about it. Um.. the killer is the Batman of psychopaths. He has the benefit of crap-tons of money, an endless supply of time, a work force of hundreds of people designing his dungeons, the ingenuity of hundreds of mechanics, inventors, trappers, hunters and designers. And he's supremely intelligent and can hypnotize and reprogram people's minds for fun. He's also psychic and can predict people's movements and actions.
At least.. That's what he needs to be in order to make this film's bad guy even remotely plausible on the smallest level. Exactly the same as the Saw movies. Oh gosh darn! I'm getting confused. Was this movie different from the Saw movies at all?
I could go on about the actual plot inconsistencies, but I think I've wasted enough of your time. Thank you for reading. Trust me and waste less of your time and do not watch this movie.
The end.
