Has anyone seen this yet?

If so is it any good?

Think i'm going to go see it this weekend.

Maybe also the new Texas Chainsaw one, which is apparently pretty brutal.

Absolutely rank. Pushes the depictions of gore well beyond the previous two, and is cleverly written. Usually films like this are crap and have no real plot or anything but the clever ending's pretty awesome.

8/10

With Saw being the only series of films 'like this' the other 2 films must have passed you by?

Really looking forward (if that's the right phrase) to seeing Saw 3.

I 'saw' it last night

Very good. It was pretty much what I expected to be honest - taking that step further than the others. As Paul said, it actually had a plot which is always handy! I recommend it for sure though.

The new Texas Chainsaw one: DEFINITELY go and see it! I loved it! If you like the remake of the original from a few years ago - you'll enjoy this one. I'm a big fan of the other one and felt that there was one thing missing from this new one. Other than that, it's well worth the few quid it costs!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original version) is one of the most hyped and also worst films i have ever seen. The remake was terrible too, the only good side being Jessica Biel's screen-time. I can't imagine i'll like the new one but i'll give it a shot.

As for Saw 3, i'm really looking forward to that The first one was good, the second one better. Although, when i went to see Saw 2, i ended up pretty much on a 'date' with a russian guy who was sitting in my seat and didn't understand the concept of 'shift your arse' so i ended up sitting next to him and he was intent on talking to me both through the film and after it. He almost ended up in my seat (actually his) at one point :/

The Saw films aren't the only horror / thriller films that's main selling point is extreme gore.

But that's not really the main storypoint of Saw, is it?

Unlike many of the films you're referring to, where the main 'attraction' is blood/gore, Saw has a discernable story, with plot, suspense and character development.

Totally, which is what sets them apart from your bog-standard slasher flicks.

Going to see it tonight, most looking forward to.

How many people d'you know go and see these films to watch the characters develop? Severed body parts are used on all the posters, that alone must highlight the fact that it is the biggest selling point? Just because it's clever, doesn't mean it can't still be a horror film.
