Blaze Heatnix Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I saw some scenes on youtube ( movie will be released here just on September...) and the violence seems less fucked up than what I was imagining. That doesn't mean it's not fucked up, but I've seen worse. I love Saw movies and some of them had much more violent scenes than Midsommar. Hell, Saw 4 started with a freaking autopsy, lol.

CloneWars Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 So having seen this, I have some questions for those who also saw it. Don't read ahead unless you've seen it. Spoiler So, the guy who invited them to the event said his parents died in a fire. The ceremony takes place every 90 years, but do they regularly sacrifice people in their temple. Do you think that is what he was referring to when he said his parents died in a fire. Obviously, the elders jump off a cliff after the age of 72. Also, let's say this was a special 90 year ritual, when they bring people over in other years, do you think they just use them for breeding, drug them, and then send them back. Or, do you think they kill them off or maybe try and get them to join their cult? What would happen if Dani tried to leave now that the ceremony is over? Would they kill her or let her leave. I'm not sure anyone here has the answers but these questions have been bugging me ever since I saw this yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly breezes by. 7 hours ago, That One Guy said: He didn't see it, he said a few weeks ago that he read a plot synopsis on 4chan so he's judging it based on that Oh for god sake. Why do people do stuff like that? Stop trying to shoehorn yourself and your opinion into the conversation when you haven’t even seen the film. Thats like me going on constant tangents about a song I’ve never even heard! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I felt coming out of the movie, 100%. Saw still takes the cake for me in terms of blood and gore and disturbing images. I can't watch them.

Curtis1986 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 So went to see this again. About 10 people in the theater. Give it 4/10. The screenplay and pacing could use a lot of work. No walk outs this time but a lot of wtf walking out. Reminded me of the Mother! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should give it a try. The Saw movies have a lot of story and great characters in them. The continuity is amazing. Try the first 3 movies.

I also randomly watched part of the last one (not Jigsaw, the last of the main series) a little while ago. That's how I found out I can't do it haha. I agree the story and characters are intriguing. That's why I wish I didn't get so ill watching them. They give the MCU a run for its money in terms of connectivity! It's almost hard to wrap your head around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I fucking loved it. It's a sick, twisted, uncomfortable, disgusting, brutal, unnerving, insane, difficult, agonizing, painful, horrifying, and utterly beautiful and wonderful. My favorite of the year so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I felt the same. I'm not saying I don't like it but besides being beautifully shot I don't think it was scary, creepy, unsettling, or really anything. I get where it was going and I think he did a good job of it but overall, it was kind of just there for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Lady Hawk Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This was very disturbing. Other than the scene when they arrive. I didn’t find it gory. I will say that I would throw up non stop if I were Christian. WTF? Dani was already in need of intense therapy at the beginning. By the end...well. I would give this a 7/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deja23 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Saw this last night. It was...weird. Not super disturbing like I expected, but definitely weird. Can’t decide if I liked it. The last movie I saw with a similar ‘wtf am I watching’ vibe was Annihilation and that one had a clear theme. This one wasn’t as clear to me which made it difficult for me to enjoy it. First Ari Aster movie though. As we walked out of the theater, the custodian was like that’s what you get in an Ari Aster movie lol. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
