Girls in
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1999)

As Saw VI hits theaters this weekend, let’s look back at the fright franchise's most screamingly sexy ladies.

In 2004, the original Saw heralded a new approach to terror that ushered in its own extreme movie genre, dubbed by those who disapprove to be “torture porn.”

Just as Saw indirectly begat Wolf Creek (2005), The Devil’s Rejects (2005), and Eli Roth’s Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007), it also spawned sequels that have become an annual cinematic happening every Halloween weekend.

The follow-up roster thus far is Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008) and, now, Saw VI (2009).

For all its spectacular violence, the Saw cycle has been surprisingly skingy, but it does not skimp on stocking the screen with sexbombs who have appeared nude elsewhere.

One caveat: ferociously sexy villainess Shawnee Smith, who’s appeared in every Saw movie so far, has still not done a nude scene. Why does she torture us so?

Until Shawnee strips, then, allow Mr. Skin to point you in the direction of the Saw sirens’ naked appearances.

1. JULIE BENZ
See Her in Saw(s): V

The Buzz: Fresh-faced, hard-bodied blonde Julie Benz is most familiar as Rita, the clueless mom married to a serial killer on Dexter. Julie’s breakout role came in Jawbreaker (1999), and she’s worked steadily (and aged beautifully) since then, notably returning to the big screen in Rambo (2008). In Saw V, Julie is forced to save herself by fatally neck stabbing a fellow victim of evil mastermind Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). Those things happen.

Jig Off: Darkdrive (1996)
(1:08) Julie brings rapid acceleration to this sci-fi tale of an auto-intensive future, flashing her headlights and even some back bumper as she rides a guy to glory in the sack.
