Another Killer Ending for "Saw IV"
"Saw IV" continues to surprise its fans. After the twist ending of the original, you'd think we'd be onto their game, but "Saw II" still pulled the rug out from millions of fans. "Saw III" went with a more emotional revelation in the end, but "Saw IV" promises to be back to the shocker, says director Darren Lynn Bousman.
"When I first read it, I was on page 85 but I didn’t feel any way about it," said Bousman. "I wasn’t pissed or excited really until I got to page 87. When I hit page 87, I was like 'God damn it, they got me!' And I’ve f*cking done this for the last three years and they got me and that’s when I knew that I had to come back because everything before that thing took a whole different light to it."
If the director of the previous two can still be fooled, there's a good chance audiences will fall for it too. "The end this year, yeah, there definitely is something. I’m not saying it’s a huge twist but there’s something at the very end of the movie which made it all. I was saying to someone else earlier I think the Saw films kind of to me are like magic tricks. You go in there and you’re looking for the way they’re going to do it. I know what he’s doing. He’s doing this, this, this. And then we do the trick and they’re like, 'Sh*t, we missed it.' And then you go back again to watch it again to see if you can see it."

Herberbaly writes: on Jun 25 2007 01:42 PM The movie has no choice but to go the prequel route, which means it will suck. Exploring Jigsaw's lovelife will be about as good as another shitty prequel, Hannibal Rising. Prequel's with serial killers are doomed to suck, they're just not interesting or scary enough. I thought all the other flicks of this franchise were pretty bad, so my expectations for this are low as well. My guess is the twist, like the others, really aren't hard to see coming and is unintelligent and negates the entire preceding story. How good can a movie be thats cast, filmed, and completed in under 8 months? (Reply to this) |

bigsexy_90 writes: on Jun 25 2007 04:15 PM [b]Twists?[/b] I still personally find the saw franchise very generic and bland. Even the first one, and the twists....well, to me the twists are very predictable, at least to me they were, I predicted the ending to the first 3, and sure enough I was right, soto me, yay, another predictable film with nothing new top offer an already tired and dry series!

Either way its gonna suck, Leprechaun is such a bad villain. (Reply to this) |

Aqueryan Reloaded writes: on Jun 27 2007 07:54 AM In reply to this comment (#870975) Ditto. As a long-time horror aficionado I can't for the life of me understand why this franchise has been embraced and championed as being something more than mediocre/average at best. Then again, when excellence is in short supply, the merely average can tend to APPEAR to be better than it actually is in comparison to outright crap. (Reply to this) |
