Okay so here’s the thing. It is fucking impossible to make a plot twist sound good in a script. In a book you have the distinct fucking advantage of internal thought, monologue and other pretentious wankery. The actual movie has the advantage of it being fucking real and on screen. So that leaves the script in a bit of a bad way, lacking both the visual element and the descriptive parts required. But the twist it what can make or break the movie. So with that in mind, here is how I would pitch the twist to all the existing Saw movies (and what I would do for VII, cuz lets face it, if I was the writer, I wouldn’t have run it into the ground by now) Lets go!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
Saw: The dead body did it
Saw II: The girl from the first one did it, And Eric should have just stfu and talked.
Saw III: The girl from the first one is a mental, and they’re married.
Saw IV: Rigg should have stayed at home, and the cop is in on it.
Saw V: Hoffman knew you’d do that, and everyone knows everyone.
Saw VI: They aren’t his family, but the reporter is, the girl from the first one killed Jigsaw’s baby, Hoffman knew and blackmailed her into killing the wife from the third one, that lever kills him and not you and Jigsaw bade his ex wife try and kill Hoffman.
Okay, Saw VI sounds really lame, but that is a movie which frankly out of context is just a series of flashbacks and kill rooms. Point is, writing a successful twist into a movie is not easy. So long and short of it, don’t hate on the Saw writers. It’s the money men who pulled it out to what will be seven movies. At the end of the day, the writers got to eat like fucking kings out of it. And work is work after all. (Also I’m well aware if the fact I did hate on the writers earlier. That’s purely for Saw V, which was actually pretty terrible, even by Saw standards.) And as promised, what I think the twist will be for Saw VII.
Saw VII: The good doctor isn;t dead, everyone knows Hoffman was involved and Jigsaw’s wife was always trying to kill Hoffman. I’m probably way off (except on the doctor thing) but we shall see come October…
