Intense, relentlessly horrifying, disgusting and often implausible, but surprisingly intriguing at times.

Reviews for Saw VI
the best entry in the series since Saw II.
10/28/09
In the end, SAW VI is faithful to the franchise and the twist/finale are 100% satisfying. SAW fans WILL walk out of the theater with their fists in the air with the feeling that they've reclaimed their beloved franchise.
10/23/09
'Saw VI' proves to be the one to pull the series out of its tailspin. Film No. 6 is not only good, it's really good.
11/17/09
A clear improvement over its two most recent predecessors...
11/01/09
a welcome return to enjoyable horror fare for a series that seemed to have lost its way.
10/30/09
...one of the best and most fascinating in the series.
10/23/09
Would make a good co-feature with Michael Moore's 'Sicko,' as self-righteous maniac Jigsaw -- apparently a fan of the public option -- plays his bloody, lethal 'games' with health insurance professionals who deny coverage to the needy.
11/06/09
Yes: a horror movie about health insurance.
10/28/09
In the sixth installment the series gets political, pointing a finger at the health care system.
10/23/09
In what was originally slated to be the final chapter, the latest installment keeps the traps interesting but leaves the back story running thin.
10/25/09
At one point, I did roll my eyes and think that the movie might be going too far. But then I realized they had been going too far for years. That's what makes them still edgy.
10/23/09
Michael Moore would have a field day with this latest installment, where the writers tackle the health care system with Jigsaw as an answer.
10/26/09
Well, I guess there's something more frightening than life-threatening, mutilating 'games' you're forced to play as you struggle to remain alive. And that, of course, is the state of health care in the United States.
10/24/09
...this more straightforward sequel finally ties up the loose ends, without the gratuitous red-herrings or continuity distortions that have become tedious trademarks.
10/23/09
Saw VI is a step in the right direction, but it's still a film more likely to appeal to fans of the earlier entries than win new converts to the cause.
10/24/09
The latest installment of the movie franchise is as customer-service-oriented as ever.
10/23/09
Revenge of the uninsured in this health insurance horror, and we're not talking medical malpractice. While death panels and death penalties alike abound in this surgical slasher spree without benefit of anesthesia, and that goes for the audience too.
10/23/09
The tension missing from recent installments is back, thanks to an inventive narrative that manages to tie up the ever-evolving saga's loose ends.
10/24/09
Where Saw 6 earns a few points over its predecessors is in its devotion to simple but effective gallows humor.
