Saw VI (2009)

Yet another game is afoot and Hoffman seems to always be close to getting off without a shred of evidence pointing towards him. Unfortunately for him there is always somebody lurking in the shadows who is holding new information that may just turn the tables on him.

Directed by Kevin Greutert, written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. Starring Mark Rolston, Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor, and Tobin Bell as John Kramer.

I found the story line to be very well done and much easier to follow than some of the series' previous entries.

We still encountered the same start to finish line up as seen in all the previous films of opening game scene, following by continuing the previous films stories, new game starts, back and forth from game to continuing story and then a graceful finish.

One thing I did notice was the amount of flashbacks were minimized compared to the last few movies. This is something I was fine with due to it keeping the film from getting overly confusing and it allowed for the story line to play out smoothly.

I do have to mention that some of the gore scenes were just awesome to watch. The use of practical effects in this one was phenomenal. I know it's a little played, but when you're an 80's horror fan like I am, you really appreciate effects that aren't of a CGI nature for anything gore related.

I had an easy time figuring out things prior to their reveal but you really can't ask for too much more from a series that has gone on this long.

I will have to go and give this one a 7 out of 10.
