The SAW series vs THE FINAL DESTINATIOn series

[eiknarf]

Both series' last film tie into the first one in some way. If you could only own one series, which would it be: the SAW series or THE FINAL DESTINATION SERIES?

[remake]

I love the fact that the SAW series is one continous storyline so you HAVE to see the previous films to get what's going on. That's very rare in horror. An actual storyline.

But I would choose the FD series. Seeing good looking young people dying in random ways makes me so tingly.

This is an easy one. Saw by a mile. I am a big horror fan and I actually like both series but Saw is damn good and I pretty much like everyone in the series. The first two Final Destinations were really good and the 3rd one grew on me but the 4th one was kinda weak. They did redeem themselves with the last one but to me there is no comparison between the two. We are talking about a horror franchise that goes 7 movies deep and doesnt fall off later in the series. Matter of fact u could say besides the awesome part one, that parts 6 & 7 are the next best films in the series. Got Em!!

[AKORIS]

wow. I didn't even hesitate--- FINAL DESTINATION by a mile.....

even though the series stops after part 3 imo....

[Clark Kent]

Final Destination is a joke of a franchise with maybe two good movies in it. The first Saw is a horror masterpiece that transcended the genre and all the sequels are very watchable.

[Tony208]

Saw has less crappy sequels than Final Destination

And Jigsaw didn't reach horror icon status but he came close

Huh? How can u judge and vote on a franchise but dont consider 2 movies out of the 5? It doesnt work like that. Thats like me saying Saw is better because the first Saw is a masterpiece and is much better than the first Final Destination. Its the franchises as a whole. Sounds u really hate the last 2 films in the Final series so if u include them which franchise would u prefer then? Got Em!!

[Gizz]

Voted for Final Destination however was not a fan of the 5th film at all. Like the series more then Saw only really like Saw 2, 5 and 6.

[newginafets]

Saw by miles.

FD series are just collections of how people die

[jrsl76]

Neither. FD 1 was enjoyable enough, but I was done after that. I actively hate the Saw movies.

[lucv13]

Saw was too gruesome for me - voted Final Destination...

[Groge511]

Final Destination all the way.

[Seymour]

I've got all of the Final Destination movies on blu, and none from the Saw series. Does that answer your question?

[eiknarf]

This battle is close. Glenn Close!

[The Great Owl]

This was the easiest decision that I've ever made in one of these polls. Final Destination for the win!

Especially the second one, when the logging truck swerves, the logs fall off and bounce off the highway, then the cop car comes along, and...SPLAT!

That's how i feel about Saw.
When it first came out, it was "a thinkers horror movie". So I likened it to the "progressive rock of horror movies" (like Yes or Dream Theater)
So I dubbed Saw "Math Horror" because it wasn't cheesy and one had to think

yea, the series as a whole is actually a bit confusing with everything going on, which is good imo...

and the first Saw was just on another level than most horror movies, let alone Final Destination movies...Saw is probably in my top 5 all time horror movies...

Yeah, and Saw (1) works fine by itself. One doesn't even need the sequels if ya don't want.
Saw seems to be STORY FIRST, DEATHS SECOND

But like someone previously posted about Final Destination, I never really thought about it until now, but, technically it really is just a collection of ways people die. As if the writers and fx crew came up with unique ways to die, then wrote a story around it.
FD seems to be DEATHS FIRST, STORY SECOND.

[metaridley]

Both series are absolutely terrible but Saw has Tobin Bell so I give the edge to it.
