Review of Jigsaw (2017) by Sean P — 28 Dec 2017
I am so bummed out by Jigsaw, the continuation of my favorite horror franchise, Saw. It's not that Jigsaw is bad; much of it is actually pretty good: the scares are good, the gore is outstanding, the acting is top notch B-movie stuff, a staple of the franchise.
No, what bums me out is that Jigsaw fails miserably in its attempt to tie back into the original franchise which seemed to definitively end with Saw 3D back in 2010. That film, to me, was a misunderstood piece of horror trash that wonderfully, darkly, and humorously commented on the films that came before.
Jigsaw upends the premise of Saw 3D, and that hurts me to my franchise fan core. https://horror.media/movie-review-jigsaw?_ga=2.61844076.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710.
