We want to play a game. Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel have only seen the first “Saw” film from 2004. In Episode 061, while reviewing “Evil Dead Rise,” Jay of the Dead claimed that the Saw franchise had fairly consistent, high-quality Horror films. (It is a Pig-Headed Horror franchise, after all.) So, as we prepare for the upcoming, brand-new release of “Saw X” (2023), your Horror hosts thought they would take five episodes and review two Saw films per show. So. here in Episode 062 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, we’re going to review SAW (2004) and SAW II (2005)!
During this show, we debate whether a poor sequel can devalue our high opinion of an earlier film in a franchise. We also discuss whether the Saw franchise qualifies as “torture porn.” And we are delighted to welcome special guest Michael Steinberg from Found Footage Critic.com and POV Horror.com! Live or die! Make your choice!
