"I want to play a game, live or die make your choice!"
So Jigsaw or as i like to type it as JigSAW, as it comes off as loud and scary in my mind but anyway how does this trap work out? Read on and find out!
JigSAW is the 8th film in the SAW franchise and it is fantastic, like so good, better yet guys it is great, frankly a warm welcome return for the series.
Saw is a series which originally spanned to 7 films over the course of 7 years, we had a new Saw film every halloween and this started in 2004 and ended with the final chapter of Saw 7 3D in 2010 and from around 2012 to 2016 we had multiple rumours of "THE GAME IS COMING BACK!" and from around 2015/2016 we had some confirmation of a Saw: Legacy.
Fun fact Saw 7 was originally intended to be a two parter to see the series out but due to budget reasons it was the supposed end at 7.
So how did we get another SAW if Lionsgate seemed to have lost faith in the series after 6 and 7's performance? I have no idea but all i can speculate is that it's the fans doing and maybe they felt like it was right to bring it back because they had solid writing, cast, production, directors and everything else was solid so they decided "fuck it, let's do it!" and here we are!
JigSAW continues the legacy of John Kramer, with a bunch of people being rounded up to play some sadistic games of death, which is a game that has not been seen or played in 10 years. So much to talk about with this film but doing so will spoil it. I thought cast, writing, editing and everything was great, fantastic job by cast and crew and all involved. I will also add the films opens unlike any other saw film which was a shock.
Not only was this movie overall was great, It kept me interested and on the edge of my seat the whole time. The traps were decent as well and i was not really sickened or disgusted by the traps or results of them i did tense up a bit at one or two parts which generally were like "oh fuck me!". It also offered a gripping plot that turned out to be quite confusing at times but the twist's made it feel oh so good. This is what makes such productions worth watching.
Some say "This torture porn film sucks it's out stayed it's welcome" and so on but i solely believe them to be wrong and i suspect they did not enjoy the other films in the series and perhaps that they don't like "torture porn". Saw is a very clever film series with unique deaths. Some also say "it's not scary" but SAW is not about the scares and yes there's a few jump scares as there is in every saw but at it's core SAW films are mainly thriller crime mystery films more than horror, the horror aspect will come from the shock gore and jump scares that normally occur from guys/girls in pig masks jumping out at people or a body falling down and of course not everyone finds that stuff scary but some will.
I would recommend it to everyone who is keen on the Saw films!
Positives:
The film had great twists, inventive traps and made us care about bad people who were gonna get killed. All these make a good saw film and this is what made this one good too!
Negatives:
Only downsides is some bad acting and all the plot holes in the time line of the series for me it is confusing and at this very moment i am trying to work it all out instead of binge watching Stranger Things 2. I do also wish more things was explored and we had just a little bit more time with traps killing people and perhaps longer run time but oh well, if we get another you can guarantee it will fill in gaps and take us down complex lane once again.
JigSAW
7/10
