Jigsaw (2017) is a horror-thriller film directed by Michael and Peter Spierig. This is the eighth installment in the Saw franchise, which started in 2004. The film is set 10 years after the death of the infamous serial killer, John Kramer (Tobin Bell), also known as Jigsaw. However, a new series of murders begins and it appears that Jigsaw may have somehow returned from the grave.

The movie has an ensemble cast, including Matt Passmore as Detective David Tapp, Callum Keith Rennie as Detective Halloran, Hannah Emily Anderson as Coroner Logan Nelson, and Laura Vandervoort as Anna. They all are drawn into the investigation into the string of new murders resembling the modus operandi of the Jigsaw killer.

The story unfolds with five strangers held captive in a barn. They are all chained to a wall and begin to realize that they are being subjected to Jigsaw’s games. Each game is designed to test their morality and survival instincts. They soon learn that they not only have to escape the traps but also find out why they have been targeted by Jigsaw. The mystery deepens with each new twist as the detectives race against the clock to catch the killer before more people die.

The Spierig brothers do a great job of creating tension and suspense throughout the film. The ominous music and sound effects create an eerie atmosphere that keeps the audience on edge. The traps and puzzles that the characters must face are gruesome and shocking, and some of them are genuinely frightening.

One of the standout performances in the movie is Tobin Bell’s portrayal of Jigsaw. Though his character is dead, he appears through a series of flashbacks that reveal his motivations and twisted philosophy. Bell’s performance is sinister and captivating, and his screen presence is felt even though he is not physically present in the movie.

Another impressive aspect of the movie is the attention to detail. The set design, costumes, and makeup are all top-notch and help to create a gritty and realistic world. The filmmakers also pay homage to the previous Saw movies and provide Easter eggs for fans of the franchise.

One of the criticisms of the film is that it does not make sense in the context of the larger Saw universe. While it’s true that Jigsaw raises some questions about the continuity of the franchise, it ultimately stands on its own as a solid thriller. The ending of the movie is a satisfying and unpredictable conclusion to the story.

Overall, Jigsaw is a fast-paced and gripping movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s a worthy addition to the Saw franchise and provides a fresh take on the Jigsaw character. If you’re a fan of horror and love a good mystery, then Jigsaw is definitely worth watching.
