In this 'final chapter' we get to focus once more on Detective Hoffman who is by now 101% total schizoid nutbag crazy. Even the 'extreme gore' scenes are watchable (even if only through finger slits in the case of my partner) courtesy of the ever more fiendish machines involved and traps set. Yet Saw delivers a credible and tense narrative through the blood and guts. Yes, it's a latex gore-fest and I'm not usually a lover of hack'n'slash movies. I like the way it manages to weave the past with the present, bringing old victims back into play, exploring the motivations of Jigsaw himself and the manipulation of those who come to help him. Look at my reviews of all the movies from the very first onwards and you'll understand that I truly love this whole franchise. That this movie was released almost exactly six years ago now, it does look like it was the last.

Was 'The Final Chapter' really the end of the Saw franchise? Although the twist and turn ending does, truth be told, leave things open enough for something of a continuing story the gap through which it could emerge is possibly a little too small, even allowing for the already stretched narrative by this point in the series.
