"Salvation can be yours, with the offering of your blood will set you free, I want to play a game.". (The voice of malice in Jigsaw's opening scene).

The franchise is back. Jigsaw carries on from the previous 7 Saw films. I'm not a Saw devotee, the original is my one and only other experience so how do I best judge this cruel adventure into torture porn? I don't, I talk to the real Saw champions and ask their impressions. The overwhelming view was that Jigsaw lacked any semblance of freshness both from a narrative and effects POV. The finale was predictable except perhaps for the eventual survivor. A yawn for most it would seem. However I am impressed with these vehicle features which give body mutilation effects artists new challenges in what could become a dying art form (no pun intended).  5GUMS.
