It's a week before Halloween, so it must be time for another Jigsaw flick. Lionsgate rolls in with Saw VI which once again pushes the limits of torture as entertainment. The R-rated six-quel knows exactly what its target audience is and no new fans will be won over. These low-budget horror films have been incredibly reliable every October as moviegoers continue to line up no matter what Roman numeral is attached to the title. Opening weekend grosses have been steadily eroding but this year should see an even larger drop thanks to the challenge of Paranormal which continues to generate excitement with the exact same audience.
