Why So Blu?

Saw VI – Jigsaw Lives Again on Blu-ray!

And you thought it was the final piece of his puzzle.  Oh wait!  Maybe it might be?  Until we get the official word that Saw VII is greenlit and apparent for another Halloween release date in 2010, you can always relish in the joy knowing that Jigsaw will be back again for another Blu-ray treatment this January.  As we reported yesterday, Saw VI will make its Blu-ray debut on January 26th, courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment.  Check out the full release below on what fans of the franchise can expect to find lurking on the Blu-ray disc.

The next bone chilling installment of the most popular horror film franchise in history comes to DVD and Blu-ray Disc this January with the release of SAW VI.  The film will be available in three different versions – an R-rated Theatrical Full Screen Edition, an Unrated Director’s cut Widescreen Edition and an Unrated Director’s cut Blu-ray Disc – and also as a digital download.  All three versions are a “2-Movie Set” that includes the first original SAW feature film so viewers can see “where it all began.”  All three versions also contain fabulously frightening bonus materials including three featurettes that take a look at Jigsaw, the traps and an exclusive look at the Halloween Horror Nights SAW Maze plus music videos.  In addition, the unrated DVD and Blu-ray Disc feature two separate audio commentaries with the executive producers and the screenwriters of the film.  

The SAW film series has managed to ratchet up tension and invention with each successive film, while jangling millions of nerves worldwide.  Surpassing Freddie and Jason, the SAW series is now the most profitable horror franchise, both theatrically and on DVD, in movie history, taking in over $500 million in worldwide box office and sales exceeding 23 million units on DVD.  In the sixth installment, Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy.   However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.
