“Two strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, and soon discover they’re pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.”

Every few years or so a movie comes along that redefines the “standard” of horror movies. This is one of them.

We’ve known serial killers and monsters that show us the straightforward kill with an obvious line of thinking but this movie wanted us to dig deeper.

The movie plays out in segments of both flashbacks and the current puzzle. In the flashbacks, we start to see who Jigsaw really is. He’s showing people their limits and their willingness to live. Or even their willingness to fave how they’re really living their life.

Then on top of that you give me Cary Ewles and Danny Glover? Hells yes!

The first time you watch this movie, you are taken to a place deep in your mind that keep you on the edge of your seat.

SPOILERS FROM HERE.

Talk about a twisted ending! In a double shot, Wan thumps you first with the fact that the presumed corpse was the antagonist all along and their key to freedom was sucked down the drain at the very first three minutes of the movie? EPIC.

Makes you think twice about how you come off to others in this world.

be careful.
