The story line has two strands. One plot ties in with the other films in the series, the other is stand alone about a man gaining fame in the pretence he escaped from the Jigsaw killer and has written a book about his ordeals. Although everything works it's self out in the end bringing things full circle to the excellent 2004 debut film, the plot is the least of the enjoyment here, because as with all the films it's the gruesome traps that are the draw.
That's where Saw The Final Chapter excells. The traps are tremendous and bone shatteringly gory at times. There's no way this film would have escaped censure in the early eighties. Most of the situations are highly effective utilizing tightly gripping set pieces, some of which had me on the edge of my seat with anguish and the beautiful thing about it all was the sheer amount of them. Just like infamous 80's slasher Don't Open Till Christmas had a murder every other scene, The Final Chapter has a trap every other scene too.
I haven't seen a torture porn film for ages and this was extremely refreshing in it's brutality and i thoroughly enjoyed it. |
Only seen the first one Dem and have no idea why I never followed up with the rest. I recently bought the box-set for about £13 for all 7 unrated films, now its just finding the time. I'm sure there are some on here who will tell me which are the bum films in the collection? are all ok?
