I am feeling somewhat saddistic tonight so I decided to watch Saw4 (UNRATED) which I dl-ed a few days ago. I was expecting alot of gore but it turns out that the 4th installment of the movie is more on expanding the very-chim plot of Jigsaw and his legacy than depicting the gruesome deaths of his victims (those who does not cherish their lives). Nonetheless, whats Saw without gore?
If you like, you might want to consider these new methods of suicide....
So, the film started with an extremely graphic autopsy of somebody. It is truly gruesome. Everything is shown in full details; the incision of the head and chest, removal of the skull, removal of the brain, peeling apart the layers of skin etc. The DVD quality of my movie made it even clearer. The white lump being removed is the stomach.
This woman was actually killed in Saw 3 but they explained more about her in this installment. See the claw like thing with pieces of meat hanging on it on the left side? There are actually 2 of these claws and they were initially attached to the woman's ribcage; one on the left and another on the right. When she failed her "test", the two claw just ripped her ribcage out. Ouch!
This is a Chinese classic. Five horse split body. Except that they Jigsaw did not use any horses in this case. The metal structures around the bed is meant to be attached to the victim's limbs. The victim's head is also attached to an "eye digger" device. In this case, the victim has a choice; he may sacrifice his eyes using the eye digger device in exchange for his life. Otherwise, once 60 seconds is up, the metal structures will automatically rip him apart.
As you can see, the victim tried but failed to sacrifice both eyes within 60 seconds... he only managed one. Anyway, the officer is not talking to the victim in the first picture. He is bending down to observe his lifeless corpse. See if you can find the hands and legs.
This, I must say, is a really innovative way of killing. The metal spikes in their bodies are pierced in such a way that they pass through vital artery lines in the men's body but non-vital parts in the women's. In order to survive, the woman just need to pull out the spikes one by one and let the men bleed to death immediately. After that, she will be free to escape. Otherwise, both of them can just stand there and slowly bleed to death together. The men is something like a sacrificial piece, whatever the women decides, he will still die.
The picture tells a thousand words. Use your imagination.
At the end of the show, I was at a lost. I totally lost track of what is going on. It is really chim. Saw4 tries to explain more of Jigsaw's intention but the knowledge of what transpired in Saw3, Saw2 and maybe Saw1 is required before you can understand Saw4. As a matter of fact, there is a scene in Saw4 which is the beginning of a scene in Saw3; they are occurring concurrently. I would not have catch that if I didn't read the plot on Wikipedia after watching the movie.
Saw5 is coming out. Hopefully it won't be as chim as Saw4.
