These Feast (and Saw IV) writers are also doing the Hellraiser remake ... so we all know that that won't be any good either.

What else could Jigsaw possibly do with the shape he's in? Pretty soon he's gonna sound like the supercomputer from Wargames....."DO-YOU-WANT-TO-PLAY-A-GAME??" Or Stephen Hawking.....

I guess I'm one of the few here who really enjoys the Saw movies.

Rolston was Drake, one of the Marines in Aliens. He also played the FBI agent in Rush Hour. This guy is definitely Saw material. It's a wonder to see how far Saw has gone, but if it continues on the course it's going, all it will be is another slasher horror film that's lost all its luster. The question is: Is there a fresh idea for Saw that is still out there, and is this fifth installment THAT idea? hmmmmm.

I always enjoy the Saw movies. As long as they keep them entertaining and cool twists, I am so there.,,,,and as a side note, I loved Feast. It was one fun movie.

The biggest reason for Saw continuing as a franchise is because it is so profitable. The budgets are relatively small, and while its box office is never "blockbuster" it usually doubles or more its money at the theater.
