Game over. The final chapter of the most popular horror franchise in history comes home as Lionsgate releases the film in a variety of formats for the home viewing audience. SAW The Final Chapter will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack (two discs including Blu-ray and DVD – as well as code to download a Digital Copy on iTunes). The film will also be available as a 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On Demand January 25th.

Fans see the game come full circle with SAW veteran Kevin Greutert (Director, SAW VI; Editor, SAW I-V) at the helm of the bloodiest and deadliest film yet. Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, SAW) returns as Dr. Gordon, and joins the cast of Tobin Bell (the SAW series), Costas Mandylor (Sinners & Saints), Betsy Russell (Chain Letter) and Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints). Both the Blu-ray Combo Packs and DVD allow audiences inside the film series with director and producer commentary, deleted scenes and music videos. The Blu-ray versions go further with a special featurette, “52 Ways to Die”, recounting the traps from all the SAW films and more.

In the seventh and final installment, SAW The Final Chapter leaves no question unanswered. As a deadly battle rages over Jigsaw’s (Bell) brutal legacy, a group of the killer’s survivors gather to seek the support of a self-help guru. However, fellow survivor Bobby Dagen’s (Flanery) dark secrets unleash a whole new wave of terror.

I haven't seen a Saw movie since the 2nd one. Is this one any good? I plan on getting the Resident Evil and Piranha 3D blus, but I don't know about a Saw movie.

if you stopped at saw 2, i doubt saw 7 will make sense. in this series, it got real convoluted and twisted real fast, relying on previous entries, so i wouldn't do it if i were you. this series is all about adapting the existing formula and characters, and 4-6 played off each other constantly.

Actually Saw 4 fed off of Saw 3 so you would pretty much need all of them for it to make sense...

That said I'm shocked they announced a 3D disc as two weeks ago they announced that the format wasn't viable and they were releasing it as 2D only. There wasn't much 3D in Saw VII to make it worth the extra price... maybe 2-3 brief moments where it was utilized but other than that it didn't do much.
