Hello folks, and welcome again to the Panic Hotel Blog. I realize it’s been a while since the last post, but thanks for visiting the site anyway!
There are two things I’d like to cover in this blog post. They both relate to Saw.
The first thing I’d like to mention is that I just watched the fourth iteration of the series a few nights ago on dvd. I never had a chance to see IV, or any of the other versions of Saw in theaters, so I was able to get the dvd versions for fairly cheap considering several of them are getting a bit older.
I thought the fourth movie in the series wasn’t too bad. It does bring to life more information on John Kramer, a.k.a Jigsaw’s background, and some of his motivations for becoming the sick dude we all know and love.
Boy, it sure gets more complicated with each new movie. Not like other movie series that never really dive much into the main plot. I think we all know some series that follow that lead.
But anyway, the other Saw related thing that I found just now was the possibility of a new Saw video game.
Um….weird? But cool? That’s pretty much my thought on it. I wonder how they would pull it off and make it feel like it’s supposed to be part of the Saw universe.
It can’t be like other horror video games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, because those games seems…different than how horror works in games like RE or SH. I feel that in these two game examples, they were made to be games. Saw, well, it was made to be a horror *movie*.
It would be hard to convey the exact type of horror that Saw does. Sure, horror and gore can be pulled off in most games and movies, but I feel that the way they do it in Saw really makes you cringe.
Is that guy really gotta saw off his own foot?
Will that chick really kill that dude just so she can live?
That I felt is better served up on the screen, at least, this far. Silent Hill came close, with that feeling that could make you feel all, “ugh” inside. Granted, I’m a bit biased….Silent Hill is my favorite horror game series. RE never really hit it off with me quite the way Silent Hill did.
So that’s basically all I needed to say! Thanks for readin’ with me!
Happy Scaring!
