BC continues playing horror movie tie-in games of yore, and dives into Jigsaw's world again.
All we know for sure is that it's going to be a union production, so that's nice.
Britt and Brian took apart the franchise film by film. They are done now.
With horror, the first is usually the best when it comes to sequels, but it applies to the current 3D craze as well. Since MY BLOODY VALENTINE debuted in early 2009 (long before the “game-changer” known as AVATAR), we’ve had a handful of horror films in 3D, and surprisingly, many of them were shot that way. SAW 3D, THE FINAL DESTINATION, and RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE, like BLOODY, were shot with actual 3D cameras. The only two horror post-converts were MY SOUL TO TAKE and (ironically) PIRANHA 3D. Considering the glut of 3D films clogging the marketplace (over two dozen in 2010 between real and converts), that’s not a bad ratio. But should horror stick to 2D?
This past weekend, SAW 3D opened at #1, earning almost as much as SAW VI grossed in its entire run. There are a number of reasons for this – less competition, the higher 3D costs, and, most likely, the promise that this would be the final chapter in a horror franchise that respected its fans.
While the SAW franchise has always had arty key art, the supposedly final chapter raises the bar to truly bizarre levels. Enjoy a look at the poster art of SAW 3D – all of which is guaranteed to be better than the film.
