Empire
From Saw (2004) to Saw 3D (2010), the ingenious, gruesome franchise owned the week-of-Halloween release date. After seven entries, the series seemed to run its course, ceding its calendar spot. But, in horror films, nothing ever stays dead. Here’s a resurrection and a reboot all in one, poised on the knife-edge between delayed last hurrah and the inauguration of a new phase. It’s a paradox that films designed to make audiences wince should become cosy with repetition, but the Saw saga trades in fairytale gothic within its hardboiled mystery frame – the tricycle-trundling puppet, the word games with splatter, Tobin Bell’s whispery sincerity, and fable-like moralities as fallible folk suffer ironic mutilation.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
