Seen on: October 29, 2010

The players: Director: Kevin Greutert, Writers: Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstan, Cast: Tobin Bell, Costar Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Dean Armstrong, Gina Holden

Facts of interest: Last film of the series. Or not?

The plot: The traps are alive and the deadly games continue for another round of bloody horror. Jigsaw's spirit is still around too...

Our thoughts: It sure took long enough, but it looks like one of the most profitable horror franchises in the past decade is finally coming to end. “Saw 3D” is supposedly the last installment of the series, and as a result, the filmmakers behind this seventh flick made sure to stuff it with tons of blood and some of the nastiest traps yet.

Indeed. Tobin Bell returns as Jigsaw in the sixth installment in the horror series, and as you can see here, he doesn't look too good. Even though he's dead, I guess there's still a lot we don't know about the guy.

Here's the official 'Saw VI' synopsis

If you haven't seen "Saw V" yet, you may want to skip this post or stop reading right now. Yes, it's your only spoiler warning. Anyway, the official synopsis for Kevin Greutert's upcoming "Saw VI" has hit the Web, and here it is: "Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood." (via Joblo)

Could this mean the sixth installment in the popular horror series will be the last one we'll see? Well, if "Saw VI" pulls in as much money as its predecessors, I'm not so sure of that. On the other hand, I just realized IMDb has "Game Over" listed as the film's official tagline. Who knows, maybe Jigsaw's terror reign is coming to an end. "Saw VI" opens Oct. 23, 2009.

'Saw V' web reviews

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."
