It's that time of the year again. The last "Saw" installment opens everywhere this weekend, and fans rush to theaters to catch a glimpse of the latest crazy torture methods. Anyway, here's what online film critics say about David Hackl's "Saw V," which is certainly not the final chapter of the franchise.

• Cinematical's Peter Martin: "More than anything, Saw V feels like a watered-down, alternate version of the earlier films in the series."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "I've had it and this franchise is no longer about telling a good story, but taking my money which they have actually done with me since these films are not screened for critics and I paid for this one."

• Cinema Blend's Rafe Telsh: "Even worse a problem is that not only does the story of 'Saw V' not mesh well with the previous chapters, but it doesn’t even work well within itself."

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "The only elements holding the franchise together at this point are the blind enthusiasm of horror nuts, truckloads of distraction, and the forgiving nature of the Halloween season."
