Saw V: Make your choice

Yesterday, I saw the new preview for Saw V. I saw that one coming (no pun intended).

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy Saw I-IV, but I'm beginning to wonder if the madness will ever stop? Every sequel I watch without blinking and talking as the suspense takes hold of me.

I spend an hour and a half or two hours divulging into these movies trying to figure it all out-analyzing carefully like it's some type of forensics show-only to be left with a cliff hanger ending every time.

Being that cliff hanger endings are just now notorious in Saw movies, most of my friends will not watch them with me anymore. They refuse.

Saw V is supposed to be the final movie, which is what I gathered from the preview. Then again, the first four movies were made to sound like they were the last movie. I guess I'm wondering if this is just another suspense plot outside the parameters of the movie to continue to trick viewers and keep raking in the money.

Honestly, I thought the stinking old guy died at the end of the last one or maybe it was the third one? Nonetheless, how can they keep making that poor, evil old man die when he already died like eight times?

Saw V comes out on October 24.

Now, "I want to play a game."

Will you see it and give it a last chance? Make your choice. The game starts now.

In spite of everything, I'll be there to see how this one plays out!
