The first film, as the pioneering work of the "Chainsaw" series, although it was finished in less than 20 days, the rigor and richness of its plot is comparable to most of the movies on the market. The scene is extremely simple, and the characters on the scene are pitiful compared to the next few steps, but as the highest rated and most classic part of the series, with the soundtrack of "hello zepp" at the end of the film, the old jigsaw slowly stood up from the blood and announced the game At the end, the shock of that scene is indescribable.
The details of the first part are done very carefully, and the mechanism design is also the most rigorous (because the first mechanism is the easiest), but there are also gangs (for example, when Dr. Lawrence and Adam saw the chains on their feet together, the camera is between the two. Cut back and forth, but each time Dr. Lawrence is cut in a different position). Amanda, who escaped in a flash, is also a key character in the later installments. I have to say that the screenwriter left a lot of places to dig holes in this step so that the scene flashbacks of the first part appeared later.
The second scene is a lot bigger at once, but it may be the worst one in the whole series. With the doubling of the scene size and the characters, the director's control ability has not improved, so that there are many things that cannot stand scrutiny whether it is the agency or the plot. Unlike the first scene, which is just a simple toilet, but with all the elements in it.
The film uses a lot of pen and ink to emphasize the world view of the jigsaw. It should be said that at least the description of the jigsaw is still very successful. If you leave out Amanda, you can even watch 2 and then watch 1. After all, the face of the jigsaw in the first film is not clear . The plot twist at the end of the second film is not satisfactory, it's just a time difference for the jigsaw, and the BGM that was impressive in the first is wasted in this one, and there is no plot when it plays. In reverse, it was just a brainless muscular man who cut the skin off the back of his neck. In the end, Detective Matthew was also very wronged by Amanda locked in the toilet of the first part (Detective Matthew once fabricated the crime of possession of drugs and put the addict Amanda in the drug rehab center where Jigsaw's wife was located).
I thought that at the end of the second part, the old man was going to die after being beaten by Matthew, his face covered in blood, but the third part was just lying in bed and it was because of a brain tumor. It seems that Matthew's attack was not very serious. In this movie, Amanda carried all the blame, gave people an inescapable trap, and insisted on killing the female doctor who operated on the jigsaw. Pit, only got the answer in Part 6) and finally died under the gun of the female doctor's husband. The female doctor's husband was also driven mad by the jigsaw's constant request for forgiveness, so he took the chainsaw and cut the old man's throat, He also killed his wife wearing a head-bombing device linked to the heartbeat of the jigsaw.
The performance of the third part was quite satisfactory. Although the old man hung up in the end, he lay down and played to death. The scene in the third part is also the important birthplace of the later parts. The old man has already arranged the last four parts. Starting from the third part, the form of the game has also changed from the escape room in the first and second parts to a brave and brave rush. It seems that the series still prefers to kill a few more people while making the script easier to write. There are too many characters in the second part. It is still too difficult to write to death one by one, and it is much easier for the protagonist to slip all the way to kill the dragon.
What I have to say about the fourth part is the bloody level. Since the beginning of the film, the old man's body has been dissected, his heart and lungs have been dissected, and finally a tape is found in his stomach. These are all shown by the camera. The one who listened to the video was the boss of the last four episodes, the greasy bad policeman Hoffman (everyone called him Uncle Huo). He first imitated the jigsaw to kill his enemy, and was pulled by the real jigsaw to the little black room to teach ♂ ♂ After a meal, he joined the chainsaw door like Amanda (the fifth account). Uncle Huo has been diving in this film, and his identity is revealed at the end of the film - the orthodox heir of the chainsaw door.
Although Matthew in the second part escaped from the toilet in the third part, he was also killed by Amanda in the corridor, and in this part, he was hanged from the beam and was finally rescued by the police officer who came to rescue him. The trigger mechanism was crushed by an ice cube and died, ending his worst career in the series. But the game setting of the fourth part is very strange. The meaning of pressing the jigsaw is not to always think about saving others, but to learn to let go and let people learn to save themselves, so all the ways to crack the mechanism may be to do nothing and just pass by. .
The editing and scene cuts of the fourth installment are the pinnacle of the series.
The title of the fifth part can be called "Chainsaw 5: Uncle Huo". Uncle Huo began to be super-god in this part. All kinds of fancy killings are basic operations, and finally Peters who discovered his secret Tram sandwiched into a pie. In comparison, the main line game of this five-player game of wisdom and bravery finally educates the audience that unity is strength is simply overshadowed. It is worth mentioning that the old man Jigsaw left a box to his wife Jill in this part, and the contents of this box have been arranged for the sixth and seventh parts. The whole film has no ups and downs, and the most interesting thing is Hoffman's personal show.
The sixth police IQ finally came online and felt that Hoffman might be the boss. In this part, Uncle Lihuo was also officially supernatural. When his identity was revealed, the small universe broke out and killed three police detectives with guns in a row with a knife.
However, the presence of the mainline game is getting weaker and weaker. Hoffman got five of the six envelopes in the old man's belongings and began to act according to his will, and had an explanation for why Amanda had to kill the female doctor: Amanda encouraged her boyfriend to steal at the drug rehab center. Carefully pushed the door and caused Jigsaw's wife Jill to have a miscarriage. After following Jigsaw, Amanda did not know that Jigsaw knew about it, and was threatened by Hoffman to report him to Jigsaw if she didn't kill the female doctor. It seems that Hoffman is the final winner of the third part. But the sixth envelope of the old man instructed to kill Hoffman. At the end of the film, Hoffman was finally tied to a stool by Jill and put on the ripped hood worn by Amanda in the first film, but he was very clever and did not die. Forced to swear to the police to expose Uncle Huo for protection.
The sixth part finally serves only as an introduction to the seventh part. There are also easter eggs in this part. Amanda told the daughter of the third female doctor who was taken hostage not to believe the person who rescued you, and that person was Hoffman.
The seventh official title is "Final Judgment". I liked the beginning of this part very much. Two men were soaked by a woman together. Uncle Huo put the two men together and asked to kill each other within 60 seconds to end the love triangle or the woman would die. So the two men together said that killing each other was uneconomical, so let the woman die and we are not at a loss - the content arouses comfort. The main game of this level is a big root who boasted that he had played the game of jigsaw and survived. He published books and lectures everywhere to make money and pick up girls. In the end, although he survived, his girlfriend and the promotion team were all wiped out. There is also the late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington as a racially discriminatory young man. Although he is a trickster, his death method is one of the worst in the series. After killing the bad youth, Uncle Huo stole a corpse, wrapped himself in it and sneaked into the police station. He tortured and killed all the way and finally took Jill's head. Then he burned down the old nest of the jigsaw game. Just when I thought the series ended with Huo Ershu's victory, Huo Ershu was knocked down by the man wearing the jigsaw's iconic pig head mask, and the leader took off the mask, and he turned out to be - the first part saw off his legs and ran out Dr. Lawrence, (Lawrence also appeared in Dagen's lecture, but I didn't recognize it for a while - so fat, it seems that he didn't exercise much after his legs were crippled) It is reasonable to say that he treated Adam with humane care in the first part The character set will not join the Chainsaw Gate, but the old man not only cured his leg but also made a prosthesis. A wave of anti-humanitarian care has influenced Lawrence, and Lawrence's return has also filled in many slots in the first six films, such as the old man As a civil engineer, in the game, there are often advanced medical operations such as sewing keys into the eyes and fixing the upper and lower lips. In fact, they are all created by Lawrence. The third female doctor who was tied up to save the old man's life is also Lawrence's colleague. . This concludes the Chainsaw Horror series.
A Chainsaw 8 came out this year. The filming was nondescript. Compared with the previous films, the color scheme was a warm after-dinner family film. The time line was also before the death of the old man, but in the 7th film, only a small TV with occasional snowflakes was used. The eighth foundation that pulls time forward actually uses a large LCD color TV, which makes me say good.
