Review of Jigsaw (2017) by Rebecca31 — 31 Oct 2017

How many Saw movies must we get before this endless parade of unnecessary sequels stops for good? Saw 8, lads enough is enough. There are only so many ways you can kill someone in the most grotesque way imaginable before it all starts to become rather dull. Jigsaw torturing his victims for an hour and a half is the most boring thing you can watch.

Dead people are popping up around the city, each dying a gruesome death and all the evidence is pointing towards John Kramer aka Jigsaw aka someone who's supposed to be dead for the past ten years. Ooh scary. The entire film moves from a scene of torture to a scene in a laboratory with everyone staring suspiciously at one another because maybe someone knows something about these murders that they just shouldn't. Now let's move to another torture scene with saws and acid. And back to the lab we go for some plotsplaining. This might be where the mystery and suspense should come in but it doesn't. No atmosphere, not scary, an absolute waste of space. It's not painful to watch due to the extreme violence, it's painful because it's so bad it's boring. Not recommended, not worth your time, hopefully this will be the Saw movie that ends all Saw movies because this is a franchise that no one cares about anymore, whatever appeal Saw originally had is gone now.
