Jigsaw/Film synopsis

Is Jigsaw a good film?

Seven years after Saw 3D, you would’ve expected a back-to-basics approach, but Jigsaw doubles down on the franchise’s twisty storytelling. It feels too long, and it’s only 90 minutes. Though slicker and better-directed than any prior Saw film, Jigsaw’s tame gore and rehashed plot twists make it mostly fall flat.

Is Jigsaw actually scary?

See, the Saw films have a bit of a reputation for not actually being scary movies. They are instead sometimes referred to as “torture porn,” since the shock audiences feel generally isn’t caused by anything frightening per se, but by witnessing disgusting and gory things being done to the film’s characters.

Is it worth watching all the Saw movies?

The first Saw movie only scratches the surface of all this, but that’s where the sequels are actually valuable. Watching all the movies together doesn’t make the story make that much more sense; a lot of it is still a mess, but paradoxically, a lot of it actually works, or at the very least, works well enough.

Was Jigsaw based on a true story?

Although many people are inspired by movies, and there may most certainly have been some notable murders that could have been inspired by Saw’s fictional killer Jigsaw… there is no real Jigsaw killer. The Saw franchise, no matter how creative, is not based upon a true story.

Why does Jigsaw have a pig mask?

When working on the original Saw film, writer Leigh Whannell and director James Wan wanted their antagonist, Jigsaw, to have some sort of mask. After some discussion, the idea of Jigsaw wearing a rotting pig’s head was chosen to symbolize his pessimistic view of the world and the disease that he was “rotting” from.
