Scored the 8-movie Saw steelbook set out of a $5 bin at Walmart (I hesitated posting this) never watched the sequels before

Picture

I wasn't sure if posting this is the end of thing upholding to the sub and the official channels.

I had only ever watched the first Saw years ago when it was newI never watched the sequelsbecauseI alwaysfelt the ending for the first movie was so brilliant that sequels would ruin it.

I have been playing Dead by Daylight for over 5 years now and, of course, The Pig (Amanda) is the killer and copyright-safe Detective Tapp (not at all looking like Danny Glover) is the survivor. New items were added to commemorate the release of Spirial, and we even got an in-game event centered around Saw a few years ago.

I also watched The Corridor Crew make a family friendly G-rated cut of a Saw trailer.

I have watched The Kill Count over the whole franchise when the vids first posted and I grew increasingly curious as years have gone by and I have forgottenthe episodes (I think it was Saw 3D that James liked least). I started feeling like revisiting the first movie again but I never owned it (I had only rented it from a video store)

And this past week this steelbook with all movies up to Jigsaw was laying on the top of the bargin bin at Walmart. I figured it was going to be $32 or $48 or something and I walked it up to the employee, who also assumed someone took it off the shelf and then changed their mind and sat it down as they walked by.

It scanned at $5, we were shocked, he asked if I still want to get it, I said absolutely... so now I have a bunch of movies to watch.

Normally if a movie is spoiled, I don't watch it. I have never seen The Sixth Sense because I was working at the theater when it came out and people were openly talking about that twist ending before I had a chance to see it... so having my own experience with that revelation and re-watching it with that knowledge was robbed from me... I don't feel any of the kills or anything have stayed with me from the Kill Counts, over all the movies and characters I didn't know, to ruin a first time watch... except jokes like Slow Ass Motherfuckin Jeff... .

Damn, $5 is crazy for that! Nice find!

Thank you! I couldn't leave it

Maybe do reviews for each movie? My personal favorites are, in order of favoritism, II, VI, SAW, and SAW X

But definitely keep us posted which ones YOU like most!

Re-watched the original film and then piggybacked it with the Kill Count.

So far my biggest gripe with this set is that lack of features. I would love the commentary tracks, documentary behind the scenes, etc.... this is bare bones aside from 8 movies.

I'm not complaining, especially at $5

But damn... I'm surprised they didn't just repack the previous single releases. Each disc has 2 movies included with the option for Eng/Spa subtitles.

I feel like if I find the individual release of the first movie, I might grab it (price depending) just to have access to features

Yeah, that's the price you pay with 'complete collections' like that. Luckily if you REALLY want the special features, you can typically find them in your local Goodwill fairly cheap.

u/FloggingMcMurry avatar

Well, most of the movies I own "complete sets" of usually are repackaged discs or a lot of times there's an extra disc of bonus features, like with the Alien set I have

Sorry for the delayed response!

Yeah, I have... I think it's called the Alien and Predator Total Destruction Collection? I think that's what I have and I think it has like a couple special features on it but for the most part, it's just a cool looking box that includes all the movies before Predators was made.

I kinda want to upgrade to something better, but I don't think we're getting a new AvP anytime soon.
