[Once
again I'm going to attempt to do a horror(ish) movie review a day for
the entire month of October. I've done this the last few years on The
Cleveland Movie Blog. Most of the time I succeeded (usually with the
help of a few other writers). Other times I didn't. We'll see if I can
pull it off this year.]
I’m gonna’ keep this one relatively short, because honestly
there’s not a whole lot to delve into with JIGSAW.
Did you like the SAW movies? Were
you disappointed that the series supposedly ended with the unconvincingly
titled SAW: THE FINAL CHAPTER? Then
you may well enjoy this sequel/reboot of the franchise. And if you’re one of
those folks who wrote the films off as torture porn, you can stop reading now,
because nothing much has changed.
Jigsaw/John Kramer (Tobin Bell) has been dead since the
third installment of the series, the trick is somehow managing to bring the
character back in each new film without actually
bringing him back. After all, Jigsaw isn’t some supernatural entity like Freddy
or Jason. Or is he?
