Saw: The Final Chapter: The Horsepower Trap

I can find a lot to love about even the worst Saw movies. Except for Saw: The Final Chapter (otherwise known as Saw 3D). This movie sucks ass and is such a huge bummer of a final thesis statement for the franchise (when it was originally going to end with this film, anyway). So I was tempted to say that Saw: The Final Chapter gets no entry because it doesn’t deserve one. But I don’t think my editors would like that. So I’m going with the Horsepower Trap because it stars the late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, who did a great job with the horseshit movie he was given. The funny thing about this trap is that it is so clearly based around ensuring Bennington’s “Linkin Park” back tattoo is never once shown, despite him appearing shirtless for his scene. His character Evan’s back is glued to the driver’s seat of a suspended car, which, if it comes down, will kill him as it barrels full speed into a junkyard. It will also kill his associates who are positioned under, in front of, and behind the car (with some chains strategically placed to amputate his arms and jaw). So he’s gotta tear off the skin from his back to reach a lever that would turn off the motor. It’s excruciating, and Bennington’s screams of pain hilariously sound identical to how he screamed in Linkin Park’s heavier music. That’s all I got. Fuck this movie.
