From the mid to late aughts, October horror was dominated by one word: Saw. In an impressive streak, the grisly franchise celebrated seven straight years with a new entry just in time for Halloween. Though sequels have been sporadic since the 2010 film Saw: The Final Chapter, this autumn brought another tale from Jigsaw’s world of twisted morality and the return of the legendary killer himself. Director Kevin Greutert’s story follows John Kramer (Tobin Bell) on a quest for revenge, but the film also features a fan favorite character and one of the saga’s first survivors. Set between the first and second franchise entries, Saw X sees the return of Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) as an assistant/disciple of the dying murderer. Though her position in Jigsaw’s army would later be usurped by others, Amanda remains the franchise’s most heartbreaking character and the greatest condemnation of Jigsaw’s sociopathy.

Hello, Den of Geek readers. We would like to play a little game.
When James Wan and Leigh Whannell unleashed the first Saw in 2004, you might’ve thought the franchise was all about grisly murders and psychological nonsense. But if you still hold true to that opinion, then you have not been paying attention to the backstory and police procedural that accompanied the carnage. With each entry, the Saw franchise embraced flashbacks, flash-forwards, and flash-sideways, becoming more convoluted than that other 2000s phenomenon, Lost.
And now that Saw X is in theaters, you realize that you don’t understand the story at all. How can there be a 10th movie when John Kramer died in Saw III? Didn’t Jigsaw reboot the series in 2017? Did anyone actually see Spiral: From the Book of Saw?
Den of Geek readers, your attention to the bloody fun parts of Saw has left you unprepared.

Cheerleader Camp (1989)
Directed By: John Quinn
Written By: David Lee Fein, R.L. O’Keiff
Starring: Betsy Russell (Alison), Leif Garrett (Brent), Lucinda Dickey (Cory), Lorrie Griffin (Bonnie), George Buck Flower (Pop), Travis McKenna (Timmy), Teri Weigel (Pamela), Rebecca Ferratti (Theresa Salazar), Vickie Benson (Ms. Tipton), Jeff Prettyman (Sheriff Poucher), Krista Pflanzer (Suzy)
“Cheerleader Camp”, which has the alternate title “Bloody Pompoms”, is much better than some of the later slasher fare I have seen. The slasher boom was in the early 1980s but by the time the late 80s came around it seems the ideas were thin.
“Cheerleader Camp” feels like a strange version of “Friday the 13th” in many aspects. While I do like the movie as a whole, it does have its issues. It could also be that I have a soft spot for slasher films as they were the first...

There are roughly 900,000 tribute pieces online this week about the 1985 John Hughes film "The Breakfast Club," and I understand the motivation. If you were the right age when the film was released (I was 15 at the time), that movie felt like a lightning bolt right to the face. Hughes treated teenagers like they were actual people with complex emotional lives worthy of respect, and while that would seem to be a logical approach to writing about any character, it certainly didn't feel average when he did it. He wrote about that secret world of teenagers with what felt like laser accuracy, and he basically created an entire industry of movies that tried to tap into that same audience. So certainly, there is much to celebrate when looking back at that particular film, but when I went to look at a list of the films that came out in 1985, a year...

Cult movie classic ‘Pretty Poison’ filmmaker Noel Black dead at 77 (photo: Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins in ‘Pretty Poison’) Noel Black, best remembered for the 1968 cult movie classic Pretty Poison, died of pneumonia at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 5, 2014. Black (born on June 30, 1937, in Chicago) was 77. Prior to Pretty Poison, Noel Black earned praise for the 18-minute short film Skaterdater (1965), the tale of a boy skateboarder who falls for a girl bike rider. Shot on the beaches of Los Angeles County, the dialogue-less Skaterdater went on to win the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film and tied with Orson Welles’ Falstaff - Chimes at Midnight for the Technical Grand Prize at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival. Besides, Skaterdater received an Academy Award nomination in the Best Short Subject, Live Action category.

Presenting “Love Always,” a recurring feature in which we pay tribute to the women who helped shape our views on pop culture.
This time we pay a 51st birthday tribute to Phoebe Cates. She retired from acting 20 years ago (save for a brief bit in her pal Jennifer Jason Leigh‘s 2001 The Anniversary Party) to raise her family with husband Kevin Kline, but she gave us a couple of iconic moments in the 80′s that will live forever.
Here are seven reasons why I will Love Always Phoebe Cates.
That Scene In Fast Times At Ridgemont High
1982′s Fast Times At Ridgemont High introduced us to Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Penn, Forest Whitaker, Eric Stoltz, Anthony Edwards, Judge Reinhold and gave Brian Backer his best film role since The Burning.
It also gave us, without a doubt, the greatest nude scene in film history … that involved breasts. When Phoebe came...

Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) You know how you have this sneaking suspicion in the back of your mind about the motives or intentions of a person? Now hasn't that same sneaking suspicion happened to you while watching a horror film? Admit it. Don't kid yourself. You know you have. Maybe Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) wanted her Bff to cancel that date for her in Halloween cause she's secretly a lesbian? Or how about Angela O' Neill in Sorority House Massacre. In an interview I did with her, she stated she refused to get naked for the film, but due to her not getting naked while all the other girls were shucking their clothes in front of her, that certainly created some of that same sex loving tension in the movie. Or you have the movies of late from David DeCoteau with the guys getting down to the briefs or boxer...

It's another lackluster week with barely any noteworthy titles to compete for your hard-earned dollars. However, you can prepare yourselves for Wes Craven's latest installment in the Scream franchise which is opening this week by getting your groove on with the Scream 4 soundtrack.
You'd be swaying with the likes of the franchise's returning stars, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox, as well as new cast members Britt Robertson, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Shenae Grimes, and Lucy Hale.
Other titles this week include The Inheritance directed by Robert O'Hara and starring Golden Brooks, Keith David, Db Woodside, Darrin Dewitt Henson, Rochelle Aytes; Mask Maker directed by Griff Furst and starring Nikki Deloache, Terry Kiser, Stephen Colletti, Jonathan Breck, Michael Berrymen, Treat Williams, Mariah Bonner, and A.J. Allegra; Black Heaven directed by Gilles Marchand and starring Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet, Louise Bourgoin, Melvil Poupaud; and...

“The jungle feeds on the blood of the invaders” is a line from the film Mandrake that pretty much sums up the story and gives you a clear idea of the tone of the movie you’d be sitting through for 90 minutes. If you’re a stoner and came across Mandrake on the tube, you might consider yourself pretty lucky to have the opportunity to view this made-for-tv thriller. But just to make things easy, I’m going to review this for those of you who are considering films to watch while sober and in a relatively normal state of mind. In that case, this movie is probably not for you, because it would be a masochistic act to watch it without being under the influence.
The story follows a group of archeologists, anthropologists and ex-military men who set out into the jungle of South America in search of a five hundred year-old bejeweled dagger.

Mock Syfy's original movies all you want, they still do solid ratings. They're also free to watch. How about paying to watch Syfy monster movies about fairy tale trolls, giant worms, and ancient fiends? Would you feel an April's fool to purchase a quartet of Syfy monsters heading to DVD?
April 5th brings two such creature features that start with the letter B. Behemoth (review here) just premiered on Syfy last month and is fastracking its way to DVD shelves. "Eureka" co-star Ed Quinn contends with a giant monster erupting from a mountain to potentially bring about the end of the world, or so says "X-Files" Cigarette Smoking Man, William B. Davis.
An earthquake reactivates a long-dormant volcano threatening the small town of Ascension, trembling in its shadow. But the gaping maws in the region reveal evidence of something else a centuries-old subterranean creature at last given the chance to...

Deon Taylor’s Chain Letter wishes it was everything a horror fan would want in a movie. Good looking teens on the run and looking over their shoulder with every step they take with a crazed mysterious killer chasing after them. Chain Letter has lot’s of blood and gore with inventive kills from a guy who they simply call the Chain Man, but there's not much story to this.
Jessie Campbell (Nikki Reed ) leads the teen charge when they all start receiving a certain chain letter through email, which warns them to not stop the chain letter. When they do stop bad things start to happen.
There are some familiar genre faces in this film including a weird performance by Brad Dourif (Child’s Play) playing school teacher Mr. Smirker and Betsy Russell (Saw The Final Chapter) portraying Sergeant Hamill. There are a few more familiar faces you’ll recognize too.

Saw 3D, Saw The Final Chapter or Saw the Traps Come Alive, whatever the name is, it’s supposed to be the last in the franchise. Jigsaw’s (Tobin Bell) puzzle finally all comes together with his wife Jill (Betsy Russell), Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) and a returning Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) playing key pieces o this puzzle along with a new piece added, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flannery).
This installment is a no-holds barred gorefest that doesn’t hold back one bit. Director Kevin Greutert pulls off one of the best entries in this franchise plus he did it in 3D. Writer Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston once again show why they are the go-to guys when it comes to these movies. The three put together a fun film that’s nothing less than a horror movie lovers new favorite, even if it’s the seventh in the series.

Saw 3D The Final Chapter (Blu-Ray)Lionsgate Home Entertainment2010/90 mins/UnratedList Price $39.99 – Now AvailableThe Saw franchise is actually a guilty pleasure for me, I like these films. Strange, since the first time I saw the original, it didn't click with me. I grew tired of its many subplots and flashbacks plus trying to guess exactly who the Jigsaw killer was. Once his identity was revealed, it gave the brilliant Tobin Bell the opportunity to create one of the most iconic villains in the horror genre. Except when you look at it from a certain point of view, Jigsaw isn't really a villain. He's not a serial killer either, but a scientist and philosopher, hoping to give people a new appreciation for their lives through trials by fire. At least that's how he looks at it. But you have to hand it to Jigsaw. Those few who survive his deadly traps...

Group of teenagers are viciously killed by a hooded murderer after they fail to pass on a chain letter that he sent out.
Chain Letter starts out with a bang! The opening sequence is a show stopper. Unfortunately, everything else that proceeds in Chain Letter is so overwrought, so overdone and so over the top, that Chain Letter becomes unintentionally funny. Or the rest of it is so under developed, so under explored, that it doesn't feel like the film should have even bothered. Chain Letter tries to make relevant points about technologies place in the world today, but it only skims over the surface instead of providing more details to debate over.

Chicago – I’m old enough to remember how the “Friday the 13th” series made a promise of “The Final Chapter” after the fourth film only to return with “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.” Let’s hope that “Saw: The Final Chapter” (also known as “Saw 7” and “Saw 3D”) does not follow the same pattern because this lackluster series truly needs to end now. At least give it a few years for some filmmaker to find what worked about it in the first place (for the record, I think the original “Saw” is a near-great horror flick…but the franchise went 1-for-7 overall) because this final film does not demand a follow-up. Please.
Blu-Ray Rating: 1.0/5.0
The first “Saw” was a conceptually perfect gem in that it kept its plot simple and effective. Conversely, the sequels have become a mess of supporting characters no one gives a damn about and a...

Billed as the final film in the series, Saw 3D is the first of the new decade, and though its hardly worse than the sequels that preceded it, it is looking more and more out of step with the times. Despite its detractors being that much louder than any of its fans, Saw was undeniably the horror franchise most emblematic of the Bush II administration era, in the same way that watching a Nightmare on Elm Street film can’t help but make you think Reagan’s still in office. But whether or not the Saw films will leave the lasting impression that those films remains to be seen, and based on this installment, a more than fair argument could be made that it will not. While the central themes of Saw could scarcely have better embodied the concerns of the last decade, its images and characters haven’t matched it in vitality.

From director Deon Taylor comes a new edge of your seat horror film- Chain Letter.
Nikki Reed (Twilight, New Moon) stars as Jessie, a high-school student addicted to her laptop and cell phone – to every mode of cyber-speech. But suddenly this communication turns from amusement to menace. She and six of her friends become the subjects of a chain letter that is much more than the usual combination of annoyance and guilt. Arriving through e-mail and text message, the letter carries a threat: that if it is not passed on, the party to blame faces an unexpected, horrible death.
Unstoppable and barely believable…this is a message that cannot be deleted. But to forward this message on would ensure the death of a friend – does one save or be saved? As time runs out, the lethal letter’s instructions become more challenging – it is up to the survivors to find...

The Saw series comes to an end with this final entry (or so it is billed). This time around they added 3D ballyhoo to Jigsaw and his gruesome traps. However, this seventh entry started to show the seams in the long running torture trip. It would be near impossible to give a plot description without spoiling something from Saws 1-6 so you.ve been warned. Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is still dead but his accomplice Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) barely escapes a trap set by Jigsaw.s widow Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell). Jill escapes and goes to Det. Matt Gibson (Chad Donella) to testify against Hoffman if she.s granted full immunity and police protection. Around town, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick...

The Plot: An elite hit man teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims.

Death Race, for instance, was good, and I enjoyed the first Transporter too. Ben Foster has been on the rise now for quite some time — I imagine a few years from now he’ll be knocking on the door of the household name. I enjoyed him a lot in Pandorum,...

A wise man once said, “All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don’t break them for nobody.” Okay, it was Tony Montana, but that’s not entirely true in the world of horror, as we’ve seen plenty of so-called “final chapters”, then that promise is broken as we get another sequel…and another sequel. It’s the best marketing ploy a franchise has this deep in the game. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy’s Dead. Halloween: H20. All liars. So where does this leave one of horror most successful franchise in Saw: The Final Chapter?
It’s game over (perhaps finally), but Saw: The Final Chapter (formerly known as in theaters, Saw 3D) feels a lot like Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. It’ll be the...

So the day has come for you folks to take home Costas Mandylor in the final chapter of the phenomenon that is Saw! Well, at least until the inevitable reboot. Even cooler...if the jolly red-suited fatman brought you a 3D television last month, you can watch this puppy in its gory 3D glory, too.
Another franchise that is buzzing this week is the video game sequel, Dead Space 2. In addition to the game itself, you can also bring home the collector's edition, the album soundtrack, a hardcover game guide, and an animated DVD movie. That should keep you busy for a while.
Oh yeah, there are a couple of other interesting titles with some familiar faces from "True Blood", "Angel", "Buffy", and even "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman".
