"Saw IV" Clips Cut Into Jigsaw
As the teaser trailer states, "if it's Halloween, it must be Saw." But with only a few grisly posters and a teaser trailer only announcing the film, little is known about jigsaw's latest outing (despite his expiration). With the release date about a month away, the Saw IV marketing is just getting started, as a new Internet trailer and TV spot have cut their way onto Web sites and Blood-Disgusting.com got its hands on two new stills from the film.
The two video clips are similar, as both are named "autopsy," but the "trailer" is a graphic display of jigsaw's autopsy -- brains, guts, the whole nine yards. Perhaps more interesting is the TV spot that cuts out the blood and adds a Jigsaw voice-over that sheds some light on the plot. Apparently, Jigsaw had the foresight to set up ghastly traps before kicking the bucket. In fact, I think he's set up a good two or three more sequels of traps, and maybe even some in space.
Take the leap to check out the embedded TV Spot.

The first two were good, but thing's fell to crap in SAW III and I imagine with the same writer/director Bousman, SAW IV will be just as bad. But hey, I'm not gonna be one of those people (well, not anymore at least) who slaps around a franchise and wishes it would go away. Simply because, any horror movie making tons of cash is a good thing for the genre.
I absolutely hated Rob Zombie's Halloween, but it made me happy to see it rise to #1 on it's opening weekend. Most would say it's not a good thing at all for bad movies to make loads of money, because Hollywood will keep pumping out mediocre films. True, in a sense. But really, I don't think the common moviegoer controls much of anything when it comes to Hollywood. Especially us horror fans. Mainly because Hollyowood doesn't understand us and I don't think they really care to. Trends come and go. Besides, there are some potentially good films on the horizon - 30 Days of Night, Sweeney Todd, The Mist, and Doomsday (more sci-fi, but I look forward to another Neil Marshall film).
