The Orphan was pretty good too. I hope that all the buzz about Paranormal Activity is well deserved too.

At any rate, the reasons Saw is up to VI:

- The series has made insane amounts of money. No Saw movie has grossed below $100m worldwide. For a horror movie, that's fantastic
- Budgeting. The combined budget for all 6 saws is under what the 1st one grossed in theaters. Each Saw costs about $10m to make.
- A new Saw is made every year, since the breakout hit that was Saw 1.

I've watched every saw, sans V, and my fiancee has seen all 5. It's a good series. Unfortunately, since the first and second movies, they've gone more for a grotesque franchise, as opposed to Saw 1's phenomenal thriller/whodunit model.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

hellraiser?

otherwise a porno for sure.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Probably demographics. They wanted Saw to become the premier horror franchise of this decade, and they feel that more grotesque violence will appease the people that watch it. Not a fan of this style (I prefer more thrilling horror elements unless the gore is part of something that isn't focused on being grotesque).

There's a new one every year around Halloween. They keep making money, so why stop?

This is correct.

They make money every year and they provide moviegoers with those hardcore blood scenes that are absent from other movies. It's not trying to win an oscar or anything like that.
