Well here we go again. Halloween weekend is over and Saw has once again sliced and diced the competition making an estimated $32.1 million. Even weeks before Saw IV came out, it had already been announced that Saw V was on it's way.

So what are your, serious, theories about Saw V?

Please remember to keep any spoilers of the film as we get closer to release date and information starts being released in spoiler tags. Anything that happened in the previous Saw films is fair game however.

EDIT: So here's what we know so far: The writers of Saw IV, Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, will be writing Saw V and Saw VI. David Hackl, the production designer for Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV and second unit director for Saw III and Saw IV has officially been attached to direct both Saw V and Saw VI. Costas Mandylor (Detective Hoffman) has signed up for the next two installments in the horror franchise along with main character; Jigsaw, portrayed by Tobin Bell.

Well it is obvious that it will take place during the time between the end of III/IV and when Jigsaw's body is found and brought to the coroner for autopsy.

I'm assuming we'll also get some background on why Hoffman is carrying on Jigsaw's work; perhaps we'll see what "test" he had to undergo, much like what happened with Amanda.

Other than that, I really have no clue.

I must say, I don't like Hoffman much for the part. After having John Kramer, this big muscular guy that looks like he could be in Rambo just doesn't fit. But I might get used to him more in Saw V.

I know what you mean. I think our problem, because I'm like you on that, is that we've been able to sympathize with an old dying man. We can sympathize with him for many different reasons and we probably don't all agree on the same ones, but we still see his side. Now we've got Hoffman, this big muscular guy to which we have no background information on. At least in the first Saw we understood, to an extent, why John was Jigsaw. We knew about his cancer upfront and we understood in Saw II why Amanda was taking over, but now we've got nothing, just a year to wait before Saw V comes out.

While I'm with you on Hoffman, I'm still intrigued and very excited to find out why Hoffman and how did he originally meet John to begin with. Was he already working for (or with) John when Rigg was talking with the little girl who was abused by her father? How far back does the relationship go?

Many questions left to answer... Saw V should definitely be good.

We hope. :) Just please let them answer questions. I want to KNOW what was in that envelope!!

I don't think Amanda is guilty as we all are believed to think. She's not the one who "killed" Kerry, and for all we know not Troy either. But she DID shoot Lynn and kill Adam. She just had too much emotion. I hope she's back on for V (new flashbacks of course).

Or did Amanda REALLY die?? Lol... joking. If she didn't, I'll be ****ed and happy.

Jigsaw vs. Predator vs Alien: Why Predators & Aliens Don't Appreciate Life :laugh:

Jigsaw vs Predalien ;)

John Kramer is now half man, half machine. He traps an alien in a deadly trap.

" Hello, I want to play a game. All your life you have been mating with humans and killing them. I don't call that reproduction. I call it : RAPE. You don't treat life with respect. Now, you will learn... "

I was kidding. This movie is dead since the 1st one. The rest is just a bad remake of a bad remake of a bad movie.

If it is dead then why do you keep watching the films, giving your money towards them? If didn't even like the first one, then why continue to watch them if they only got worse? I think you just enjoy complaining, or raining on other people's fun. That's all there is to it.

I seriously hope you (and everyone else) has seen Wes Craven's New Nightmare. That is the ONLY true sequel (well not really) to the original Nightmare on Elm Street - and its the best Freddy movie imo he did (he did partially write/produce part 3)

Now THAT is how you reinvent a long in the tooth franchise. Terrific movie it was. Hopefully Saw won't go that direction by the time they get to Saw 12 or something :|

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
