Bloody, futile reminiscences, and explanations

Finally watched Chainsaw 5, a series of very profound films finally completely degenerated into a typical European and American horror film in the fifth film, when the unbridled blood washed away philosophy, when the hard tools of murder were no longer given. The right to choose and judge, in addition to being tired of complete bloodyism, I only have the determination not to watch the sixth part - if he still has the heart to make it.
The staggered time and space, the various ways of killing people, the comical and terrifying masks and hoarse voices on the instantly turned on TV, seem to be extremely cheap because they can fill the blood of the whole drama, but the heart-piercing but extremely futile shouting, me and myself It is said that this is saw5, but apart from the twisted and cracked barbed wire wrapping title at the beginning and the phrase "I want to play a game", I can no longer find the feeling of the first four.
Obviously, there are two ways for the continuation of the classics, change and change. Absolute loyalty, or subversion. Obviously the former is more likely to succeed, but it is also vulnerable to criticism. Chainsaw 5 tried hard to achieve the former, so it kept interpreting the previous plot, but this mode obviously imprisoned its own pace, and it was destined to be shrouded in the shadow of its predecessors and unable to break through. The constant self-justification can only be taken for granted to deepen the audience's understanding of the first few parts, but the question is: what story do you want to tell in the fifth part?
It turns out that everything is in the hands of the jigsaw, and so is it after death. One cop continued his mission, and the jigsaw spirit lives on. That's all.
No more flashbacks that make people suddenly realize, no more jigsaws pretending to be dead and standing up at the end after the whole show, no more safes that slowly open after time due, some are just rigid lectures, just keep reminiscing In the previous plot, it was like an old guy recounting the glory of the year, and the last shot of the bullet-proof glass coffin covered with broken bones and blood was thrown to the audience like this. Is this perfunctory? I'm afraid it doesn't even count~
