Who likes horror movies?
I do. Me and my baby's mama (jest) both love them.
So I just saw Saw IV Friday with her, but haven't committed time to my computer until now (save Fantasy Football lineups) to express my feelings toward the anticipated annual Halloween scary movie.
I must say, I was disappointed and confused.
SPOILER: Don't HIGHLIGHT
Such a great premise and cliff hanger ending to Saw III then Saw IV totally solves Saw III's greatness by just killing Jeff, the main character. Saw III and IV actually run parallel timelines, except Saw IV tries to do the whole shadow a main character and his ethical decision making but fails because....Saw III already did that. Instead of progress the intriguing Saw III storyline it just opened doors to more questions and left tons of things unexplained and some things pretty much irrelevant. The guy with his eyes stitched up and the guy with his mouth stitched up, they weren't explained at all, not even given a tape recorder. I hope Saw V and VI (they have contracts for the sequels) satisfy and can correctly link the events because I had to read the Wiki afterward to get the movie--which then made me say "oh that's just dumb."
