Review of Saw VI (2009) by James C — 19 Sep 2013

Saw VI is a crude film, but it's true to the series' tone and appeal. Structurally, the film is barely distinguishable from the past few entries; the traps are still novel in look but not necessarily in function, while the standalone story concocted for part six fits in well with the history of the franchise as both previously established and newly minted in this picture.

With a strong ending that's both satisfactory in its revelations but still leaving viewers with a juicy cliffhanger, the series is still as good as it ever was and continues to be relevant in its ability to craft a seemingly endless but halfway plausible Horror legend.
