"Dead an enigma if it makes another ..."

already announced another ongoing and proposed a seventh and eighth episode, returns the most-watched horror saga of recent years.

The film starts, as always, by the end of the previous year. Refresh ourselves a little memory. Dead aka John Kramer Saw in the third episode, a few months ago, in the fourth chapter in the saga, we became aware of his heir, Detective Mark Hoffman. This is the only survivor last trap left by the original puzzle and which saw the death chain of a large number of casualties. we can save even the daughter of a lieutenant killed previously, will be passed as the hero of the moment and as someone who has finally closed the Saw - the riddle. Unfortunately for him, the night was saved, was not the only one to survive. With him, the detective Strahm. Given a series of suspicious events, it will begin to suspect my colleague and possible complicity between the deceased and this puzzle ....

Kackl Directed by David, the first writer and then assistant in the second in previous episodes, the film is certainly more watchable than the third quarter and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman.
In this episode, the director tries, and largely succeeds, to set the story in a more linear than its predecessor.
for much of the film using the technique of flashback assembly is certainly enlightening. Saw, despite being dead for two episodes now, continue to "live" right through this ploy.
Most of the doubts and questions found at the end of the fourth episode are answered and the whole, however, continue to be as twisted, certainly takes a form more legible in the eyes of the viewer.
Many things are finally explained, others not, but fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your taste, there will be time.
There are of course the torture that have contributed to the success of the series. They number well over six of the 95 '.
The last in particular, its simplicity is one of the best. One of the other more violent and gruesome, but all have in common. All give a chance for salvation.

What's left of the end product is definitely higher than the previous, more rhythmic and qualitatively best about the plan's director.
The revelation of the 2004 film by James Wan, is now considered by many ingenious and far saga, now in so far with the episodes, it has lost much of its potential. Even the famous shot of the final scene that stunned everyone is becoming more predictable.
Nevertheless, this episode, as it has been set and directed, may be regarded almost as a sort of restart to a saga that, with the third quarter and in particular with the episode, was objectively deteriorating. We'll see if this positive attitude will be confirmed in Saw VI.
