Jigsaw

What's the scariest setting of all? A really brightly lit barn that's what.

I don't know if many people watched it or even knew about it but there was this MTV reality show long ago about trying to find the next big Scream Queen. Girls would battle it out in Horror themed challenges and there was some hasbeen nobody SAW actress hosting it. Literally couldn't tell you who she was. But basically, when they did a filming challenge in the show, it would look so bad. The camera angles, the filters, the shoddy lighting... all of it just awful. So why does a film made many years later LOOK AS SHIT AS THOSE SNIPPETS OF FILM FOR A REALITY SHOW?

It's not a great film.

It's pretty damn bad really. 

It is a SAW film to a degree, and it has some entertaining qualities, even if it is the basic acting. So there's lots of stupid backstory hanging around characters who have little to do with the game that the 'new' jigsaw has laid out. So there's minimum to do with guts and blood and more to do with this really disgusting creepy head of the police and this weird girl is suspicious as ever and this really basic main guy who like lost everything when his wife died and it's just basically tiring because you know they have a bigger part yet to come.

So who is the new Jigsaw? Is it a copycat? Or has John Kramer come back from the grave?

Well yes Kramer's back from the dead BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE FUCKING CANCER ALL ALONG.

But there's still more twists and it is pretty messy.

LITERALLY DO NOT PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THIS

I have to admit though John Kramer has a very calming voice when he's not hiding behind a puppet.

I appreciate what this film was trying to do. It was trying SO hard to be part of the SAW franchise and have it's only little place in reinventing this cult series of films.

But it's just lacking so much.

Plus the name 'Bucket Head' is thrown around a lot and honestly just lowers the whole tone of the film. And who is funding John Kramer to live his quiet little life just making killing machines in the countryside?
