Oh yes, there will be blood. Couldn't help myself from using that line - I've been looking for a chance to use it in ages... Forgive my euphoria, but for a Saw fan, there's no better news on a Monday morning than another tiny piece of the puzzle falling into place. If you're among the Saw fanatics, then you'll love the newly released goodies. And if you're among those people which are attracted, fascinated by this movie genre, filled with that twisted repulsion that somehow makes you unable to stop watching, if you're horrified, intrigued, thrilled and scared to death of what the next installment might bring...then welcome among the Saw fanatics!
The (so far) Saw trilogy is considered to be among the most sophisticated horror movies of the last decade - and certainly one of the most original. It gives those with a strong enough stomach to take an insight into a world that's almost always claustrophobic, ruled by a killer who's always patient, unbelievably clever and gruesomely inventive when it comes to his victims' deaths. In fact, the term killer may be seen as both an understatement (as his sadistic cruelty would send even Hannibal Lecter running for cover) and an overstatement (since he didn't actually kill anyone, but usually forced his victims to kill themselves). His horribly clever death contraptions that force his unlucky victims to either maim themselves or kill others in order to survive come with the added bonus of pseudo-ethical dilemmas, as Jigsaw is out on a mission and has a set of bizarrely didactic purposes behind all the madness. The irony of it all is that he teaches them about the value of life just as even the faintest trace of hope goes down the drain. Literally.
And so we're down to the fourth installment, after the end of the third left us hanging on for dear life as what looked like another gory but at least somewhat happier ending was snatched from us in the trademark fashion. Another thing you grow to learn (and love...or hate) about the Saw movies is that you can never trust what you see, as it's all incredibly relative - pretty much in the Rubik fashion. A series of flashback and the spiraling flow of events leads you nowhere - and everywhere all at the same time, with a shocking resolution or twist at some point or another. And if you think you've seen it all, you're woefully wrong, as Saw 4 moves the whole package - murder, psycho-thriller and suspenseful race against time and deadly contraptions - to a new level. Which leaves us all biting our nails waiting for October 26th. Don't forget to breathe.
