We’re back to the horror genre this week and finishing the Saw franchise. Before we discuss the next five films, we talk about a few new trailers/teasers that dropped (One Night Only and Verity) and our future plans to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. Good Boy also recently dropped on Hulu, so we decided to check out this dog-themed horror movie. We did think this was a creative concept, but it wasn’t completely executed properly. We were both interested in seeing what else could be done with a horror film from a dog’s perspective, and loved little Indy! Euphoria was also on the docket this week, and we continue to be disappointed. We’re hoping things start to pick up after this episode, but it really seems that the core of some of the main characters have changed for an unknown reason.

The last five films in the Saw franchise certainly aren’t as strong as the first few, but we chalk that up to those involved not thinking it would be as popular as it became. The timeline continues to be convoluted and we didn’t love how long the Strahm storyline carried on. We included Jigsaw and Spiral in this set of films even though they’re spinoffs/prequels, but we went in release order for this theme. We definitely had some issues with both of these films and felt that they were, unfortunately, the weakest of the bunch. Overall, this franchise is beloved by horror fans and the loyalty would be there if/when Saw XI gets released. The original concept of John Kramer and his victims is so strong and we think the writers should just focus on that.
