Our friends over at ScreenRant have created a really cool video compilation which recaps the entire Saw movie franchise in 6:66 minutes.

The video covers all six Saw films to catch you up in time to see the final installment, Saw 3D, which opens in theaters this weekend.

I love video recaps like this, but usually the clips go by in a flash and the narration is very quick, but this one for Saw goes at a perfect pace, allowing you to absorb all the plot information and scenes.

Be sure to click through the link to the ScreenRant story to watch the video and also to read their in depth complete guide to the Saw franchise, which is a great refresher on the films. Also, the article is sectioned out, making it easy to get a recap of each movie individually if you want to skip over any of them.

Back in July the first teaser trailer for Saw VII, now known as Saw 3D, was released, but didn’t show a whole lot. Now fans of the franchise have their first real look with the arrival of the first full trailer.

At the time, the movie was said to be called Saw 3D: The Traps Come Alive, but thankfully it looks like the sub-title was demoted to a tagline. It was also revealed back in April that Carey Elwes would finally be returning to the world of the Jigsaw killer after his mysterious exit from the original film, and you do get a little glimpse of him in this new trailer.

There was once a time when you might have thought that the two top current rival horror franchises were Saw and Final Destination. After a decade or so the deadly duo are still going head-to-head, only now it’s to determine who can come up with the absolute worst possible title for their latest installments. And as you can plainly see for yourself, both are making a valiant effort in obtaining the crown.

At the end of June, it was revealed that the title for the new Final Destination would actually be 5nal Destination. So what could the title of the latest chapter in Jigsaw killer saga be? It could and apparently will be Saw 3D: The Traps Come Alive. Even better — this news from Shock Till You Drop has been confirmed by Lionsgate themselves.

Since the very first Saw movie added a new layer to the horror genre, fans have wondered what happened to Dr. Gordon at the end and where in the hell he went.

Five new chapters in the saga of the twisted mind of the Jigsaw Killer have unfolded since then, and it appears that finally, you may just find out the answers to the questions that you’ve been asking. And since Saw VII is reported to be the last in the series, it’s no surprise that producers look to be swinging for one more home run.

The first teaser trailer, a poster, and even a cool motion poster for the upcoming Saw VI has been released by Lionsgate. Click the image at right to see the one sheet at full size!

The movie is the sixth in the franchise, which started in 2004. An impressive amount of production, with a movie coming out once a year. The franchise in general revolves around an intelligent killer who puts those who he believes deserve it into various sadistic situations which require extreme and ultra-painful actions to escape them and the certain death that awaits you if you do not.

Saw VI brings back stars Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, as well as Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, and Peter Outerbridge and is set for an October 23, 2009 release date.
