I know the more recent additions haven’t been spectacular, but I still find myself wanting to see the next one.

Well, that next one is Saw V, which arrives on October 24th, just in time for Halloween.

Here is the first poster for the fifth film in this torture-ific series, and I kind of like it. Nothing fancy, but what we do get is the vivid idea that someone is going to be donning a Jigsaw mask this go-round and continuing the saga of deadly games involving human life.

What do you think? Do you watch these movies? How about the poster?

Back-To-Back?). The rumor at the time was that both might be shot back to back but that the studio might take off 2008 and not release “Saw V” until 2009.

It appears as though the release rumor is false. Lionsgate is now laying claim to October 24th, 2008, for the release of “Saw V” and is looking hard at October 30th, 2009, for the release of “Saw VI.” It’s still uncertain whether or not the films are being shot at the same time or back to back. In order to do so, it would seem that both scripts would have had to be finished before the strike went into effect.
