Exactly, I can't honestly believe how many of these shite mediocrity-fests get released!bazaalmon said:

No movie with that sort of premise should last more than three movies, and even then I'm giving it a bit of grace...
They made more then one of these things? Where have I been? Under a rock? In a truck? On the moon? Vote now on the escapist.
I vote the same, the first one was decent, and well I would comment on the rest but I can imagine it was probably more of the same stuff, and really did we need more? The first was interesting because there where very few movies like that, and none exactly like that.Tdc2182 said:
Well, I'm personally not watching it. I have a feeling it's a continuity nightmare by now, and I stopped watching after III. Also, they dropped in quality a lot (hearsay, admittedly), and most of the appeal for me was in the relative novelty.
So, it's too long for me, but if some people are still capable of enjoying it that's dandy with me.

Any movie series that goes to 7 is to much. At least their all numbered, unlike the Final Destination series. Final Destination, Final Destination 2, Final Destination 3, The Final Destination. What the fuck?!?!
Saw 7 is going way to far, hell even Saw 6 is to fucking far.
They should have ended at Saw 3 to be honest.
Even though I'm a fan of the movies, they're taking things way to far.

My brother and friend are both obsessed with Saw. So they'll be very happy, me on the other hand cannot stand it any longer. Saw is dead, no more horrible sequels!
Your use of Seven (or Se7en!) made me ponder how infinitely better Se7en was than any of the Saw movies. Admittedly it had proper actors in it and was made on a bigger budget, but the difference is incomparable. I'd rather watch Se7en seven times a row than watch the Saw movies back to back.Rascarin said:
Which is what this Guardian journalist did when Saw 5 came out. He went to a cinema and watched all five back to back. Needless to say he didn't enjoy the experience. Funny article tho!

Is anoyone surprised? Horror movies have been putting out mediocre sequels long after the audience is has given up the series. Look at Jason, Freddy, Alien, Predator, and Chucky. They will continue to spew horrible movie sequels until they are no longer worth it.
This seems to happen with many successful horror franchises, i.e. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St. Few horror films make it big, so when they do they milk it for every penny they can get. The horror movie, particularly the gory slasher flick, works particularly well for sequel milling as the makers realize their target audience doesn't ask for story or anything, just people getting killed with the franchise's telltale signature, so other than that they can make up any shit they want and get away with it. I never cared for Saw anyway, so I don't care.
