Nah, not really... PHEW! Instead David Hackl, production designer on the previous SAW installments and man in charge of the traps, gets in the director's chair and ups the ante. The result? More traps! Nastier traps!

The absence of Leigh Wannell, who kicked off the series together with James Wan and has been at least co-writing until now, might have suggested a slackening of the plot. Luckily, Hackl's own fondness of the series has prevented this from happening. This is, simply put, more of the same. The loose ends of Saw IV get followed up, background plot is developed and explored while the new bunch of victims fight their way through a series of gruesome puzzles, twists ensuing in due course. The cast are watchable as always, with Tobin Bell as Jigsaw true to form and Scott Patterson and Julie Benz as capable additions.

So, time to wrap it up then? Not quite yet, number 6 is in the pipeline already. To the serie's credit it has to be said though that the quality of each installment is consistent, with SAW IV and V closer to the original's standard than the second and third helping.

No, there is nothing new here, but then originality was cast off with the decision to franchise. For those who enjoy the SAW movies as parts of a saga, this is just the ticket.

Gore, gore and more gore and still not for the faint hearted or easily rattled, this is SAW at its best.

All the Saw films I have watched and own and I would watch them if they went up to the number 30!

I have seen all 4 SAW films and think they are all amazing. All the twists and the turns make it enjoyable, and the violent scenes make it shocking aswel. This film would get 5 stars from me. But the lacking of the story carrying on from the third to the forth just wasn't there. But they have said the 5th film will clear that up. Nearly the end of the seris now. Filming has started on the 6th film. Hopefully that will leave us all with stuned faces at the end. Cant wait..... Bring on the sick bags!!

The first film was brilliantly original and truly entertaining. Since then they all feel a bit the same, just with different 'games' being played. I saw this at the cinema last night and although it was perfectly enjoyable, as they all have been, it wasn't anything different. The opening scene was nice and yucky but it went a bit slack in the middle. The story was beyond believable this time but I guess by now we're not in it for the plot! Definitely worth seeing as its no worse than parts 2, 3 or 4. Looking forward to Saw 6!
