owen gleiberman of "entertainment weekly" said that ""saw vi" is the thinnest, draggiest, and most tediously preachy of the "saw" films. it's the first one that's more or less consumed by backstory—which is to say, it's one of those hollow franchise placeholders in which far too many fragments from the previous sequels keep popping up in flashbacks." he said, "if your goal is to do a quick study for a round of "saw" trivial pursuit, then this may be the movie for you. if you're looking to be jolted into fear or queasy laughter, skip this sequel and hope that the producers get their sick act together next time." rob nelson of "variety" wrote, "squeezing another pint of blood from its torture-porn corpus, lionsgate slays again with "saw vi", a film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called 'saw it already'. at least the requisite moralism is more playful than pious in this edition", but added, "presumably owing to director kevin greutert's work as editor of all five previous "saw" pics, the film's juggling of chronology is the franchise's best..." christopher monfette of ign movies rated "saw vi" three out of five and wrote that "while "saw vi" certainly offers a redemption for the series and the promise of a coming power struggle for jigsaw's legacy, "saw ⅶ" will no doubt mark the time to either shake things up or watch this franchise get the ax".
