New Poster for 'Saw V' Lifeless, By Design
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 7:29PM
I had to pay to see Saw IV, after Lionsgate
deemed it not necessary for critics to watch their Halloween tradition anymore.
And frankly, I didn't hate it. I give the Saw series a lot of credit for
its overall inventiveness, although I also understand the arguments on the other
side that say the films are too gory. Gore doesn't bother me, though, and
clearly, it doesn't bother Jigsaw (Tobin
Bell).
Now, if you're up to speed on your Saw
storylines, Jigsaw ain't breathin' right now. I mean, if you've seen the JFK
autopsy photos...it's a lot like that. But the new poster for
Saw V makes it appear as though all the king's
horses and all the king's men have indeed put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
According to the IMDB synopsis, the new Jigsaw is
Hoffman (Costas
Mandylor), which is certainly the impression we were left with after
IV. So what's up with the poster? Besides general creepiness?
In case you're interested, you can get a big, big
version of this poster at
Shock Till You Drop.

What's up with the poster? It seems obvious that it's Costas Mandylor wearing a Jigsaw mask!
Oh, it's all so clear now. See. I get it after that massive hint.
