I will be the first to admit that I don't always have the stomach to watch the things that got me so excited about the horror genre only a few years ago.  I feel that the Saw series, while smart and fascinating, has gone overboard as of late, and I have never been a fan of the rape/torture porn films like Hostel.  But for some reason the same rules don't apply for I Spit On Your Grave, a unique remake of the 1978 cult hit Day of the Woman which tells the story of a rape victim seeking out revenge on her assessors.

Tobin Bell: Saw V

After a long stint in television, Tobin Bell finally broke into the world of theatrical cinemas in 2004, starring alongside Danny Glover and Monica Potter in the indie horror hit Saw. What followed could never have been expected as Bell has had the opportunity to reprise his role as the villainous Jigsaw in the franchise's four sequels. In the process, he has become a household name amongst the genre's most die-hard fans.

Six years ago this week, I sat in on a film festival showing of a little horror movie that pitted the evil doers of the world against themselves. The premise intrigued me, but I never would have expected that now, over a half decade later, I would still be witnessing the continuation of the same story. Yes guys, I'm talking about Saw VI, which struts into theaters this week with new games, new victims and the same lucid killer, at least to a degree, known as Jigsaw.
