The last movie in the Saw saga, directed by Kevin Greutert and starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, and Betsy Russell, it revolves around a deadly battle raging over Jigsaw’s brutal legacy.

2)   My Soul to Take:

Directed and produced by Wes Craven, My Soul to Take is another horror film that is releasing around Halloween, actually on the same day as Saw 3D. The story revolves around a serial killer who returns to his hometown to stalk seven children who share the same birthday as the date he was allegedly put to rest. Set in the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Only one of the kids knows if the killer has been reincarnated as one of the seven teens or if he survived the night he was left for dead. Adam “Bug” Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the last night the Riverton Ripper wrecked havoc on that terrifying night. Unaware of terrifying crimes being committed to the seven children, he has been plagued by nightmares of their murders while not aware if they hold true or if he is simply imagining the images that haunt him. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that’s returned, he must face an evil that won’t rest, until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.

Release date: 29th October 2010

3)   Monsters:

Monsters is a sci-fi horror film. The film is written and directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Whitney Able as Samantha Wynden and Scoot McNairy as Andrew Kaulder.

This movie offers a different story line, consisting of an alien invasion, than all the other horror movies being released around Halloween. Alien life forms have spread throughout Central America leading to the quarantine of half of Mexico. The U.S. and Mexican militaries are battling to contain the creatures, with a wall stretching along the American border. The story follows Andrew an American photojournalist who is tracking down the rich-kid daughter of his boss and their journey back to America through the invaded area.

The extraterrestrial life forms apparently take to our planet pretty well by making Mexico their new home away from home. The journalist and his boss’s daughter get to experience all the terror to be found there as he tries to help her return to safety, but the “monsters” they encounter are very frightening and they do not realize what dangers await for them.

Release date: 29th October 2010

4)   Paranormal Activity 2:

And the terror continues. Directed by Tod Williams and written by Micheal R.Perry, Paranormal Activity 2 is a 2010 psychological thriller film. After experiencing what they think are a series of “break-ins”, a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem. The sequel to Paranormal Activity promises to be scarier, even though the storyline is based on the same theme as the first part and will sometimes remind the audience of the movie ‘The Blair Witch Project’.

Release Date: 22nd October 2010

5) Hereafter


For all of the people who are not ‘Saw’ fans have a different kind of upcoming Halloween movie to look forward to being released on the same day as that franchise’s grand finale.

Clint Eastwood’s movie ’Hereafter’ tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter. A movie that revolves around death and life after death, this is a must watch for Halloween.

Release Date: 22nd October 2010
