With Halloween fast approaching, there’s a definite spooky wind blowing through Tinseltown right now, and hot on the heels of yesterday’s Paranormal Activity teaser, it’s time for that oldest and most venerable of All Hallow’s traditions – the Saw franchise –to chuck it’s bloodied hat into the ring.
Firstly, a confession. When I was a bogey-encrusted, bad-breathed 10 year old boy, I was obsessed with The Punisher. Blissfully unaware that there were far cooler superheros for a youngster to be fascinated by, I had my bedroom wall painted black, with a lovingly rendered white skull emblazoned over the top. I had my school lunch box similarly repainted. Where once there was a spot colour, as-purchased and off-the-shelf Mask Crusaders logo, there was soon a Punisher emblem perfected in Dulux paint once I’d had my way.
