The mediocre audiovisual language, the potential classic elements of this series have long since disappeared.

When the tall LOGO of the movie title Lionsgate appeared, a variation version of the Hello Zepp climax immediately sounded, and then the classic screw-tightening picture of the film industry was distorted. Seeing this, I couldn’t restrain my inner excitement. After 7 years, this most successful horror film series has finally returned. However, when I saw the chase scene in the first act, I vaguely began to feel that the style of painting was wrong, as if this had already revealed some clues in the original trailer-the layout was bigger, the props were made of stainless steel, and the protagonist became better-looking. Even Billy's hairstyle is combed like a successful person. After thinking about what SAW was like back then, what probably comes to mind is the rusty game props and TV sets, the dim light that always resembles the dark sky, and the heart-piercing screams that will sound at some point. And the lens that shakes all the time. SAW is the most successful horror film series. This is an unquestionable fact. Its success is the result of a collection of classic factors. Some may be attracted by its game design that challenges the limits of the senses, and some may be attracted by its brain-burning non-linearity. The narrative is attracted. As a film and television practitioner, it attracts me in addition to these, there is also the same line of audio-visual styles that only belong to this series- Starting from the montage when SAW1 reverses, this series has been based on this point to continue to carry forward this cool style, skipping frame editing, seamless transitions, sharp fast-paced editing and Charles Krause's percussion. It is more enjoyable than spraying plasma to destroy the organs. However, starting from the fifth part, these shots taken by Wen Ziren and Bosman began to be gradually forgotten. By the seventh part, they disappeared and returned after seven years after the end of the series. Originally thought of the brothers of the former destination. The director will notice the audio-visual essence that this series has been using, but unfortunately, it may have been too long and they really forgot, or they did not notice it at all, like most passersby watching movies. In this restart work, 90% of the shots are stabilized lenses, and the fixed camera position accounts for a large proportion of the space. How can this reflect the sense of despair in the SAW theme, and how to bring the audience to nothing? Pervasive sense of crisis and substitution? In fact, although the script and story of the jigsaw can not be said to be very good, but it has reached the series of targets, if you work hard on audio-visual technology, or if Bowsman returns to continue directing, I am afraid that word of mouth will rise to a higher level. The editor of this part is still the queen editor of this series, Kevin Grout. It may be that he directed two sequels of Street Fighting. After becoming the Back Pot, he was dissatisfied with being demoted by the producer in order to vent his dissatisfaction, or The Sperry brothers’ lens language is too academic, without Wen Ziren’s wildness and unconventionalness, resulting in him not having room for his style. Even the montages in the final reversal are messed up and shredded compared to the previous ones. The Zepp Eight soundtrack and the fool's front and back shots of the TV series make people suspicious of watching a copy of SAW. In any case, this is a mediocre restart, and having said that, the times are evolving, and we cannot expect to see a post-industrial horror film with a strong post-industrial style in the era of digital intelligence. This is not the director’s. Wrong, not Lionsgate’s fault, but the era that belonged to the chainsaw horror can never be recovered. The Eight soundtrack plus the fool's pros and cons of the TV series make people suspicious of watching a copy of SAW.

PS: The main screenwriter who watched the game up close also forgot. The one who didn't make up, the old man buckled the bucket on the player's head, was an embarrassing comparison.

To put it bluntly, the chainsaw series is only suitable for the lens style that is dangling or dirty. It is really inappropriate to make David Fincher's obsessive-compulsive-like clean lighting and camera position. Why does the reverse montage of the chainsaw give people a feeling of demystification? One is that the script is designed in this way, and the other is that the basic plot and soundtrack of the chainsaw is edited on the rhythm, which is an unconventional operation in the movie.

    The brain-damaged fans howled after watching this series, it is as important to me as HP, and it carries too many memories. I followed the Water Margin Three Kingdoms King Kong after watching the movie, watching the diagram, and swiping it a thousand times. Now the game is not so good, but John appears and I really do Are you still alive crying? ! ! Later, the end reversal still shattered my dreams. The game effect at the end is the best of the chainsaw series. Anyway, in the hearts of his followers, he will live forever
