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 :|

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
