The Saw franchise is, without a doubt, the most successful horror franchise of the past decade. The first film is a modern day horror classic. I didn’t care much for the second and third films, but I really enjoyed the fourth. I skipped the fifth in theaters and have...

In box office terms, after an unprecedented run of five major international hits in five years, the SAW franchise appears to have finally grown tired : this film’s opening weekend (while still rendering the film instantly profitable) halved the initial take of its...

The fifth SAW movie in five consecutive years - with a now-expected $30million opening weekend confirming the series as the genre’s most successful franchise ever - is all too clearly the work of an ongoing franchise that wishes its third entry (evidently designed to...

Although blessed with the kind of show-stopping splatter set pieces that dominated its immediate predecessor, the fourth SAW film in four years (with at least two more to come, ye gods!) feels a lot like a film too far. SAW III, with its operatic gore and elaborate...

At the close of the Saw trilogy, none of the key players behind the franchise were set to return. However, return they did as Darren Lynn Bousman takes his seat for a third time behind the camera. Yet co-creator Leigh Whannell finally gets to rest his weary hand as he...

As Halloween night approaches and whispers it’s final BOO of the season, Lionsgate Films and Twisted Pictures leads us like lambs to the slaughter as they unleash Saw 3 upon us. Being a folklore enthusiast and horror film aficionado, I am reluctant to praise any type...

“Saw is akin to The Blair Witch Project in that after opening weekend, an influx of people, upon realizing everyone else was hailing the film, turned against the tide and started to renounce it. I was there (for both), I saw it all (no pun intended). After about a...

So I finally got to watch Satan's Playground, which was on my top ten list of films to see this year. I love the title of this film Satan's Playground, sounds like the lost fucked up film ever. Well it kind of is. First and foremost this film is actually Dante...

"Satan's Little Helper" is one odd film. Early reviews of the film were pretty good, yet I was unable to get my hand on a copy until it was released on DVD. Well I heard mixed reviews about this film, most of them leaning towards the good side of the spectrum, However...

Jeff Lieberman takes stock horror fodder, a period setting complete with a slasher antagonist, whirls it around as he ingeniously dodges the corners of his limited budget, and whips up an admirable effort which, in many respects, is better than most mainstream, big...
