SAW 3D images, trailer and teaser poster fail to revive faith in the franchise

Jul 28

It’s safe to assume Saw 3D (the 7th Saw film) is going to be mediocre, right? This franchise has a history of sometimes producing noteworthy trailers and other promotional material, getting fans (??) excited about possibly seeing a worthwhile addition to the saga and then letting them down. Hard.

Seems there’s a trickle of excitement following the new Saw 3D trailer and, yes, while it might seem exciting to endure Jigsaw’s gruesome death scenarios in ‘eye popping’ 3D, there’s no accounting for quality story and, you know, plot.

Speaking of plot, here’s the synopsis:

A deadly battle rages over Jigsaw’s brutal legacy, a group of Jigsaw survivors gather to seek the support of self-help guru and fellow survivor Bobby Dagen, a man whose own dark secrets unleash a new wave of terror.

For what it needs to be– torture porn for the Haolloween holiday– Saw delivers to its market and continues to profit. That’s why we have a seventh film in 3D to tolerate. I’m just understandably cautious about believing any of the hype.

Saw 3D opens in the States on 29 October 2010.
