Leave your thoughts about Saw V.
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe creatives behind the franchise clearly have taken pride in their stylistic consistency throughout the series, but here they even fail to deliver enough of the cleverly gruesome Rube Goldberg torture devices that are its raison d'etre. |
| Projection BoothRob HumanickAn insult to fourth-rate ripoffs of Se7en, and even that may not be harsh enough. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyEverything after its gory "pit-and-the-pendulum" opening scare sequence is downhill in the fifth and potentially last installment in a horror franchise that has run completely out of steam. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry Ratliff... heads roll and nail bomb shrapnel turns a headstrong 'survivor' into a pile of pink human brisket with pants. Does this sound like entertainment to you? |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson... the Saw franchise continues to provide at least one decent horror film to look forward to at Halloween. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerThe periodic traps set for five new victims, all linked by a rotten real-estate deal, are neither as terrifying nor as yucky as in the earlier films. The only real horror in these scenes, in fact, is the jaw-droppingly bad acting on display. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthySurprisingly, the FIFTH installment of the series has a nice flow to it and is still able to dish out newly designed horrific torture scenes. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfMore careful viewers might be starting to question the validity of this ongoing story: a five-film-too-long journey that has never felt more arbitrarily plotted than in the final 10 minutes of Saw V. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrLike High School Musical 3, which is opening against this film, Saw V is made for the fans. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasIf you liked the previous four movies, there's little reason why you won't find at least a few things to enjoy in this one, but it's definitely getting to the point where it's dubious whether they can keep it going much longer... |
