Now i don't know why people think this movie sucks. I personally loved it! Warning: Contains extreme gore: getting stomach sliced open by giant pendulum blade, intestines, guts, and gore hitting the walls, very gory. Hands getting sliced down the middle by circular saw, extremely bloody! Also has decapitation, electricution, etc. VERY GOOD MOVIE if your a fan of the saw series :P

What Parents Need to Know
About Saw V
Parents need to know that this "torture porn" horror movie is full of graphic, grisly violence that combines sadistic terror with state-of-the-art makeup and effects. Lots characters are killed in lots of ways, all very graphically and all shown on screen. There are flashbacks to deaths and violence from earlier films in the Saw series and extensive use of crime scene photographs showing dead bodies. There's also some strong language (including "f--k"), but the majority of the film involves sadistic brutality crafted by the film's villain as a series of "games" -- like a sequence in which characters trapped in a room with a bomb must volunteer to place their arms in a box with a saw so their blood will fill a jar; when filled, the jar will trigger the door that leads to safety. That's just one example; there are many, many more.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why people are drawn to violent and sadistic films. What is their appeal? Also, is there an artistic difference between a well-made gory film and a badly made one? Is there a moral or ethical difference? Families can also discuss the ongoing popularity of the Saw series -- are the producers just giving people what they want, or bleeding a cash cow?

I loved it! It was the first saw movie I ever watched.. After the movie, my best friend and I rented all the other Saw movies.. He and I loved it! I'm a girl and was 12 [or 13] when I watched them. I don't think it ever would have given me nightmares. When I was 4, I watched Chuckie, and IT, I had no problems. Although, I do think children shouldn't be as callous as they are. I haven't found any movie that disurbed me. I would reccomend it for everyone, it is really great! Plus, the reason anyone watches a horror movie is to watch something sick and demented..

All 5 of these movies are too violent for any kids to watch because there are some really awesome deaths throughout but, if you have been following this series and you just can't get enough of it, then this is another nice adittion to the list.

Scary to the younger audience
Extremely violent and may give nightmares to kids under 10. I don't see why this got 5 pitchforks for bad role models, because everyone learns about teamwork and to appreciate their lives

Gorepalooza at it's Most Disgusting!
I watched this at the party with a couple of kids and I hid behind the pillow during the gory parts, when people were dismembered (including the part when the razors beheaded - graphically - the unlucky one of the quartet, who were trying to find keys to unlock their collars in the time allotted by Jigsaw). This is definitely not for kids - it's guaranteed as a nightmare source!

Garbage
Total garbage... now to be fair, I didn't see Saw III or Saw IV, so maybe if I had, I would have been a little more interested in the plot. Most of the movie was flashbacks to the other movies; it was like they didn't want to make the extra effort to shoot new scenes, so they just showed the old ones. As far as the five new people in the "traps", it didn't seem like there was much of a point in them being there, as they didn't relate to the continuing plot line at all, and they weren't even in most of the movie. They seemed to be just an afterthought so they could figure out a way to add more gruesome violence to the film.

Story neglected
Commonsense focuses on gore when it should also look at the story. This is a series so all the movies should really be looked at as a pack and then separately. I love the saw films and they are great.

Well i only seen 5 mins of it.
Ok so i was supposed to be watching HSM3 but in the same theater they were going to show Saw V later tht night. So they put in the wrong movie and i got to watch like 5 or a lil bit more mins of it. But i loved what i seen.
