    Saw V - I won’t lie this one is a bit of a snoozefest for me, not sure if it’s because since the first time I watched it, it had already been spoiled for me. The film feels like a classic whodunit but you already know whodunit - and the traps in my opinion feel lackluster. 2.5/5 ⭐️

    SAW V (2008) thank you for your gdc panel john kramer it was very illuminating. a movie that hosts one of the greatest (doomed by choice) yaois of the previous generation. the saw traps were more of an escape room in this one, which connects nicely to the last entry

    I'm still trying to get my grading scale just right on Letterboxd, but it's close, which sometimes leads to funny results. I just rated Saw V the same 1.5 stars I gave Violent Shit, which barely counts as a fucking movie, second-guessed myself, and then decided that was ultimately correct lol

    October Month Day 21 watch: Saw V My least favorite of the Saws, 90 percent of this movie is just continuity bullshit trying to shoehorn Hoffman into the series. Still, it has some great traps and the final kill is awesomely brutal. Hoffman is also so lame he kind of warps around to being lovable

    Saw V is not a good movie. In fact, some would argue it barely qualifies as one since it spends most of its 95-minute runtime showing the audience scenes from the previous four films and flashbacks that don’t amount to much. Listen to our episode now. Link in bio!
