SAW 3 or 4 or whatever.
I saw the preview during the movie last night. My cousin is all about it but its not really my thing. Are these movies really that good? He was going
apeshit over it. Says they are the best horror series movies ever. I thought they were teen movie bullshit.

They're not horror movies at all. They're just psycho-thrillers.

Saw I was amazing...considering the sad state of affairs the US movie industry has been in over the last decade, especially in regards to these types
of movies it was amazing. Saw II was merely a bridge to three and wasn't all that great but still better than half of the shit that comes out and the
third one was more gorey than the first and had lots of great twists.
I cannot wait for the 4th one, hopefully it'll conclude one of my favorite series in proper fashion.

Boring. It's just movies playing on the whole gore aspect. It's a shame that people think that this is what a horror movie is. I miss the good
slasher flicks.

If you're talking about Saw I, I can't help but feel like you didn't watch it all the way through. That was an extremely well done movie, and hardly
relied on gore at all except to introduce a character. Fucking great psychological thriller that one was. Now if you're talking about Saw II, you're
dead on. Cliche paint by numbers characters, terrible storyline, predictable outcomes all the way through. All around a terrible fucking movie. Saw
III was much better but nowhere near as good as the first one.

Not a huge fan of the series but they are still better than most of the horror movies that have been released lately. But they really are whiipping
the series to death. I can only hope they stop after 4.

Yeah a 5th and 6th one is just too much, there hasn't been a single series that has had more than 2-3 movies.

I liked all three. The first was definitely the best overall, but the 2 and 3 were a lot of fun for what they were.

I don't understand people not thinking there isn't good horror going on...just in the past 5 years theres been a resurgence of above average to great
horror movies not catering to the PG-13 big draw crowd.
28 Days Later
Cabin Fever
Dog Soldiers
Haute Tension
House of 1000 Corpses
Wrong Turn
The Descent
Wolf Creek
Hostel
Devils Rejects
Silent Hill
the Saw series
plus a few tolerable remakes...
Dawn of the Dead
The Hills Have Eyes
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
plus theres tons of others I haven't had the chance to see, but a lot of the grittiness of the genre is coming back.

You are right about the genre coming back but for a while the PG-13 bullshit reigned supreme. I will give the first Saw credit for coming out when
shit like The Ring and The Grudge were popular.

I saw the first one and thought it was slightly above average for what it was, but definitely nothing special. I had absolutely no desire to see them
pull that out into a series as I don't think the character warrants that treatment, so I've never watched 2 or 3 and 4 just looks ridiculous from the
previews.
Of course, I will readily admit that I am predisposed to dislike franchises based around a specific character such as Friday The 13th, Halloween,
Nightmare On Elm Street and the like. It takes a lot to make me give a shit about stuff that falls in or around the horror genre if it's more than a
single movie. I just don't see the point in stretching these movies on and on until they're bad parodies of themselves. Even when I love the original
movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre for example, I have trouble seeing a need for sequels and generally find them to be a huge waste of time as well as a
pathetic money grab.

Man, I thought Cabin Fever was horrible. Same with Wrong Turn. But pretty much every other movie you named is good. Really liked Hostel 1, 2 was a
big let down.

funny story:
A friend of mine, and my girlfriend's brother too actually,
were in this band.
they were called Dog Soldiers.
years ago.
turned out the drummer, unbeknownst to them, was part of some militia group that had robbed like 15 banks in the midwest and taunted the law
enforcement and stuff.
anyway.
one day they are at the studio, and the FBI raided it.
he one FBI dude is like do you know what that name means? about the bannds name and all. dudes like yea....
im not entirely sure but it has something to do with a group on indians who killed an FBI agent or something....

I just watched Silent Hill last night. Creepy as shit. It had that weird surreal other world vibe that'd you'd get with Nightmare on Elm Street in the
dream world... but then it had this whole revenge haunting theme that was very Japanese like the Grudge or The Ring. I could dig that movie.
Interesting that there was no real resolution for the mother and daughter...
