Saw VI is a 2009 horror film directed by Kevin Greutert and written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. It is the sixth installment of the Saw film series and stars Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, Peter Outerbridge and Shawnee Smith. It was produced by Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures and distributed by Lionsgate. Saw VI concludes the second trilogy of the series that focused on the posthumous effects of the Jigsaw Killer and the progression of his successor, Mark Hoffman. In the film, Hoffman sets up a new trap for an insurance executive, William Easton while the FBI trails the last living Jigsaw accomplice suspect, Peter Strahm.

Greutert, who served as the editor for all the previous Saw films, made his directorial debut with Saw VI. Melton and Dunstan, the writers for both Saw IV and V, returned to write the screenplay and Charlie Clouser, who provided the score for all previous Saw films, returned to compose the score. The soundtrack consists of mostly heavy metal and hard rock. Filming took place in Toronto from March to May 2009 with a budget of $11 million.

The film was released on October 22, 2009, in New Zealand and Australia and October 23 in the United States and Canada. In Spain it was the first film to receive a Película X rating for violence (a rating usually reserved for pornographic films), which restricted screenings to eight select theaters in that country. After the producers edited out the offensive content, the film will be released on October 8, 2010 in the country with a "18" rating . Grossing USD$14 million in its opening weekend, Saw VI placed second to Paranormal Activity's $21 million. Saw VI went on to gross over $64 million worldwide, making it the lowest-grossing Saw film to date. Reviews were mixed, with some critics criticizing the acting and others praising Greutert's directing.

Plot

Simone (Tanedra Howard) and Eddie (Marty Moreau), two predatory lenders, wake up in a room with a caged-in scale in the center, wearing head harnesses with screws poised to their heads. They must tip a scale with some part of their own body to live. Simone chops her left arm off and tips the scale in her favor, saving herself. Lieutenant Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is called to the scene by Dan Erickson (Mark Rolston), who found Peter Strahm's fingerprints around the room. Erickson also shows him that Lindsey Perez (Athena Karkanis) is alive despite the events that took place in Saw IV. Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) meets with Hoffman at her clinic; he informs her that he is taking control of the games, and Jill hands him five envelopes received in the box left to her from Jigsaw's (Tobin Bell) will.

William Easton (Peter Outerbridge), executive of a health insurance corporation, talks with his company's attorney, Debbie (Caroline Cave) about Harold (George Newbern), whose insurance policy was revoked after a discrepancy was found on his application and who later died from his illness. Later that night, William is kidnapped from his office and placed in a trap, with a large vise enclosing his torso, and an oxygen mask covering his face. Hank (Gerry Mendicino), his janitor and a smoker, is in the same situation across from him. Hank is killed when he fails to hold his breath longer. In the second test, Jigsaw's puppet informs William that he must choose to save either his file clerk Allen (Shawn Ahmed) or his secretary Addy (Janelle Hutchison), and let the other die. In the end, William chooses to save Addy, and Allen is hanged by a barbed wire noose when his platform retracts. His third test takes place in a large boiler room. Debbie stands at the bottom of a caged-in maze with a device on her chest set to fire a spear through her head. At the end of the maze, she discovers through X-ray films that the key has been implanted in William's side and tries to attack him with a circular saw but fails to before her timer runs out and the spear kills her. In his final test, William finds his six staff members chained to a spinning carousel with a shotgun pointed towards each person, but he can only choose to save two of the six by pushing buttons in a device that will drive spikes into his hand and divert the shotgun upward. He reluctantly chooses to save Emily and Shelby.

Meanwhile, Erickson and Perez inform Hoffman that abnormalities were found in Strahm's fingerprints, and that the scrambled voice from the Seth Baxter tape did not match Jigsaw's. They lead Hoffman to the site where the voice is being unscrambled by a technician. The moment Hoffman's voice is unscrambled from the tape, he kills all three of them and sets the room ablaze, using Strahm's hand to plant his fingerprints. Tara (Shauna MacDonald) and Brent (Devon Bostick) wake up in one locked cage, while reporter Pamela Jenkins (Samantha Lemole) wakes up in another. When Hoffman returns to the observation room, he finds a letter that Jill has placed on the desk, which he had written to blackmail Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) in Saw III. Jill enters the room suddenly and shocks Hoffman. William simultaneously reaches the end of his path, finding himself between the two cages. It is shown that he and Pamela are brother and sister, while Tara and Brent are the family of Harold Abbott. Now they can choose to either kill William or set him free using a marked switch next to the tank. Tara cannot bring herself to end William's life, but Brent shows no mercy and shifts the switch to "Die", and a platform of needles swings into William's back, pumping hydrofluoric acid into his body and killing him. Jill straps Hoffman to the chair and places a modified "Reverse Bear-Trap" on his head. She leaves Hoffman with a 45 second timer; he escapes the chair by breaking his hand then stopping the trap in between the bars on the door before managing to pull his head free leaving one side of his mouth ripped open.

Production

Development and writing

In May 2008 Bloody Disgusting reported that Kevin Greutert, the editor of all previous films in the franchise, would make his directorial debut with Saw VI.[1] Greutert only promised to edit Saw V under the condition he would be allowed to direct the sixth film.[2] Newcomer Andrew Coutts replaced him as editor for the film.[3] Saw VI was David Armstrong's last time to serve as cinematographer of the series.[4] Mark Burg and Oren Koules again served as producer, with James Wan and Leigh Whannell, creators of the series, serving as executive producers. Charlie Clouser was brought back to compose the score.[5] Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, writers of both Saw IV and Saw V, returned to write the sixth installment.[6][7] Melton said that there would be good pacing and a resolution for the series.[8] Greutert commented that Saw VI would have some finality to it, something he always wanted to see in the series.[4]

Casting

Main article: List of Saw characters

On July 26, 2007 before Saw IV was released, CraveOnline's horror website ShockTilYouDrop.com announced that Costas Mandylor would sign on to appear as his character Mark Hoffman in Saw V and Saw VI.[9] When commenting on his character, Mandylor said: "Hoffman is sort of torn of becoming a mad man or becoming a guy that's more composed, coming from a pure place like Jigsaw. That's my character's dilemma; does he go fucking crazy or follow the rules of the boss?"[4] Greutert said in an interview with Bloody Disgusting that Saw VI would have the most characters in any Saw film to date but reassured the writers would stay true to previous story lines to prevent any "violations of logic and chronology".[4] A reality acting competition show called Scream Queens aired in 2008 on VH1, in which 10 unknown actresses competed for a "breakout" role in Saw VI. Unknown actress Tanedra Howard won the role. LionsGate made a public statement ensuring her a leading role in the film but did not elaborate further on her character.[10] It was later confirmed on March 24, 2009 that Shawnee Smith would return in newly filmed "flashback" scenes as Amanda Young, instead of archive footage from previous entries, which had been used in the films since her character's death in Saw III.[11][12][13] On April 19 it was announced that James Van Patten would return as Dr. Heffner, previously featured in the opening scene performing the autopsy on John Kramer/Jigsaw in the fourth installment.[14] On April 29 it was reported that Peter Outerbridge had been cast as a new character William and also returning was Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, and Mark Rolston as their characters John Kramer/Jigsaw, Jill Tuck, and Special Agent Erickson, respectively.[15] Russell commented about her character saying, "You find out a little more about if Jill is good or evil. Pretty much you'll know."[4]

Filming and trap designs

With a budget of $11 million, Saw VI began principal photography on March 30, 2009 and wrapped on May 13, 2009.[16][11][17] The film was shot in an industrial Toronto studio.[18] Greutert explained that the traps in Saw VI would take a more violent and personal approach than those in previous films. When compared to Saw IV and V where most of the traps were set in big rooms and involved more people at one time, he stated that the traps or "games" in Saw VI would be more personal to the victims and would be more one-on-one with the trap.[4] Armstrong thinks "visually", which reviewer Mike Pereira comments might be Armstrong's favorite saying; in an interview, Armstrong revealed, "We're kind of pulling back a little bit in the color palette. It's going to be more suggestive and not so vibrant, in your face like III and IV. It's more neutral and shows natural flesh tones. On Saw V, I pulled back a little bit and on this one, I pulled back even more."[4] Also, the film has traps that pit victims against each other, similar to the mausoleum scene from Saw IV.[5] Commenting on the "carousel room" trap he said: "It's very carnival, playground-like. It's just nasty. [There are] spinning red lights in there. It's really overwhelming to walk in and look at because everything is spinning." Greutert said in an issue of horror magazine Fangoria that it was, to date, the "longest trap scene ever". He went on to say that they originally had ten actors riding the carousel, but it was finally scaled down to six, to "tie in to the [film's] title".[19] About the "steam room" trap he said that, "Also, there's one place called the Steam Room that's probably the best looking SAW trap of them all. It's big and expensive. It's got furnaces, fires and steam. It's multi-leveled. The most complex Saw. We had techno cranes flying through. It was pretty amazing."[4]

Release

Saw VI was released on October 22, 2009 in Australia and New Zealand, a day earlier than the Canada, U.S. and UK release. Lionsgate also held their annual "red carpet" event for the film at Mann Chinese Theaters in Hollywood, California, which was attended by most of the film's stars.[20] The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the film an R rating without much content having to be edited.[21] In Spain the film was rated much heavier, with a Película X rating for extreme violence, restricting screenings to only eight pornographic theaters in that region and Buenavista, the film's foreign distributor, appealed the decision.[22] After producers cut several of the "most violent scenes" to obtain a "not under 18" rating, It will be released in country on October 8, 2010.[23]

Box office

Saw VI opened in 3,036 theaters earning USD$6,957,263—$2,292 per theater, in second place behind only Paranormal Activity which grossed $7,572,457 on its second weekend of wide release.[24] This was less than any of the other Saw films to date.[25] It grossed $14,118,444—$4,650 per theater its opening weekend.[26] It still remained at number two, behind Paranormal Activity which was playing on only 64% as many screens as Saw VI, but made 67% more money.[27][28] On the weekend of Halloween, it moved down to No. 6 and made $5,270,794—$1,736 per theater, a 62.7% decrease in ticket sales from the previous weekend.[29] By its third weekend it declined in sales by 61.4% and was removed from 945 theaters and fell into 11th place making $2,031,944—$972 per theater.[30] By its fourth weekend, ticket sales declined even further by 77.9% and was pulled from 1,314 theaters and made $449,512—$579 per theater.[31] On its fifth and final weekend it made $91,875—$516 per theater, a 79.6% decrease and was pulled from an additional 599 theaters, leaving 178 theaters by the end of its run.[32] It was closed out of theaters on November 24, 2009, after only 35 days.[33]

Saw VI began its international run in tenth place with $4.73 million on 946 screens in 11 markets. It opened in the UK, where it placed second grossing $2.683 million on 375 screens. In Australia, it opened at fourth place with earnings of $846,000 on 164 screens.[34] In its second week it came in eighth place with $4.48 million on 1,229 screens in 20 markets for a total of $11.86 million. The film opened in third place in Russia with $1.13 million on 273 screens while it fell to fourth place in the UK with $1.53 million on 381 screens over the weekend for a total of $6.16 million.[35] The film has come to gross $27,693,292 in the United States and Canada and $36,651,407 in other markets, for a worldwide total of $64,344,699, making it the lowest-grossing film of the series to date.[25][33]

Reception

The film received mixed reviews from film critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 42% of 60 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 4.5 out of 10.[36] Among Rotten Tomatoes' "Top Critics", which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television and radio programs, the film holds an overall approval rating of 20%, based on a sample of 10 reviews.[37] Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 30 based on 12 reviews.[38] CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade cinemagoers gave the film was a "C" on an A+ to F scale.[39]

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said that "Saw VI is the thinnest, draggiest, and most tediously preachy of the Saw films. It's the first one that's more or less consumed by backstory—which is to say, it's one of those hollow franchise placeholders in which far too many fragments from the previous sequels keep popping up in flashbacks." He went on to write "If your goal is to do a quick study for a round of Saw Trivial Pursuit, then this may be the movie for you. If you're looking to be jolted into fear or queasy laughter, skip this sequel and hope that the producers get their sick act together next time."[40] Rob Nelson of Variety wrote "Squeezing another pint of blood from its torture-porn corpus, Lionsgate slays again with Saw VI, a film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called "Saw It Already". At least the requisite moralism is more playful than pious in this edition," but went on to praise first time director Kevin Greutert stating, "Presumably owing to director Kevin Greutert's work as editor of all five previous Saw pics, the film's juggling of chronology is the franchise's best—"downright slick," as Jigsaw would say."[41] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review, writing "But, really, do reformers and victims of callous health insurers really want a guy with a penchant for elaborately constructed death panels of his own to be their advocate? Elsewhere, the usual critiques apply: terrible acting, zero suspense, laughable logic and the promise of another one next year. How can we get this policy canceled?"[42]

Christopher Monfette of IGN Movies rated Saw VI three out of five and wrote that "while Saw VI certainly offers a redemption for the series and the promise of a coming power struggle for Jigsaw's legacy, Saw VII will no doubt mark the time to either shake things up or watch this franchise get the ax".[43] Kim Newman of Empire gave the film three out of five, stating "Saw VI gets back to Saw basics in gripping, gruesome manner."[44] Blake French of AMC Filmcritic gave the film three and a half out of five, writing "Director Kevin Greutert hasn't helmed a lot of films in the past, but he did edit all of the previous Saws. As it turns out, his mastered craft lends well to directing. He spins a taut, tight, concise web of terror and surprise. The best entry in the series since Saw II".[45] Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting gave the film seven out of ten and wrote "Saw VI is faithful to the franchise and the twist/finale are 100% satisfying. Saw fans will walk out of the theater with their fists in the air with the feeling that they've reclaimed their beloved franchise."[46]

Soundtrack

Untitled

The Saw VI Original Motion Picture Soundtrack includes music by the bands Kittie, Chimaira, Suicide Silence, Nitzer Ebb, Mushroomhead, Lacuna Coil, and Converge, among others.[47] It was released on October 20, 2009, through Trustkill Records.[48] James Christopher Monger of allmusic praised the use of hard rock and heavy metal, something that had been missing since Saw IV. He said in his review that, "It's a fitting marriage, as hard rock and heavy metal are the sonic suitors to horror and torture porn films and video games". He particularly praised the songs by, Hatebreed ("In Ashes They Shall Reap"), Converge ("Dark Horse"), My My Misfire ("The Sinatra"), and Kittie ("Cut Throat") calling the songs the "most ferocious moments this time around".[49]
