Julie Benz was made famous for me for her role in Angel as the malicious yet incredibly seductive vampire Darla. Of course more recently she has been on a little show called Dexter, and now she is returning to the big screen to get top billing in the fifth installment of the Saw movies.
Julie Benz (Showtime’s “Dexter,” upcoming Punisher: War Zone) will topline Saw V, the latest installment in the Lionsgate/Twisted Pictures franchise, reports Variety.
I lost interest in Saw after the second one. I know there is a deeper mystery and storyline that is filling the gaps between the disturbing moral conflicts that just end in torturous gore, but it just wasn’t enough to grab me in.
But adding Julie Benz did get my attention where most Saw franchise news barely gets me to click a link.
Is this an asset for Saw V or does it even matter who is in it so long as there is someone to tell people how they are going to die?
