SAW VII / SAW 3D / SAW: THE FINAL CHAPTER
(directed by Kevin Greutert, 2010)
No, I am not reviewing three movies -- just one. It's just that this movie can go by three different titles, although I don't think Saw VII is one of the official titles, however that's what my cable TV provider said it was and I thought that title even showed up in the opening credits.
This is part seven of the Saw series - and the final installment, maybe. For some reason, I never got around to watching this movie until now, three years after its release. Funny because except for the first movie, I saw all of the others at the movie theater, usually on opening day.
This movie is sick. I am of two minds about it, though -- first, I enjoyed watching it, but because I was so invested in the series before, and because the films are basically a continuing soap opera involving a few characters who manage to live (and I emphasize "a few") - I was curious to see what happened to them next.
Well, guess what? They died. In fact, I can basically spoil the whole movie for you right now -- EVERY character in this movie died. Every character -- well, except one small (yet big) character who isn't that important to the film.
This film is sick murder after sick murder after sick murder. The Saw films are typically this kind of torture porn treatment, though -- and it's really not much different than the other films -- yet, this film felt worse than all of the others for me. Maybe it was the murders themselves -- they were very dark, sick and horrific.
There's two guys sitting inside a window display with saws running in front of them. A young woman whom they have been seeing hangs above them, a saw running below for her. Onlookers outside in broad daylight watch and try to help but can't, so they use their phones to call 911 and take pictures and such. One of these three people must die. One of these guys can either push a saw towards the other guy and try to kill him, or they can both do nothing and let the woman -- who's been seeing both of them, naughty girl -- fall onto a saw and let it slice into her stomach.
A racist guy in a car finds himself super glued or something to the car seat -- is he willing to rip the skin off his back and grab something in order to save the woman underneath the car who's going to get crushed and two friends of his who are also lingering tied up nearby and are going to get killed, too? Another woman isn't supposed to scream while another guy pulls a key out of her stomach through her mouth with a string or else these four spikes are gonna enter her throat and kill her in only SIXTY SECONDS if the guy doesn't get the key out in time! If she screams, it'll make the spikes come at her throat even faster! Another guy is blindfolded and forced to traipse across a few skinny boards on a mostly floor-less floor, with a great drop below. If he falls, a rope connected to him will hang him! Will the other guy across from him be able to help him cross this floor-less floor in SIXTY SECONDS and also GET THE KEY that'll unlock him from the rope? And by the way, sixty seconds is more like five minutes according to my clock. Why can't Jigsaw, the bad guy, just say, "I'll give you five minutes to save yourself from dying."
I won't even get into what the plot is. Basically, people die, like I said. It has got to be one of the sickest and most depressing horror films I have ever seen. Thank God it's the last Saw for now.
I give it a ZERO for the sheer fact that it's truly a very disgusting movie on all levels. It's not really a movie -- it's something Adolf Hitler would watch instead of Days of Our Lives. It's nothing but murder -- with nothing redeeming itself in the end. It was sickening just to watch the last good character alive get her face blown completely off in one of the sickest visuals you can imagine special effects coming up with. This movie is full of hate. This series has been nothing but full of hate. I'm done with it.
