Critics Consensus

Jigsaw definitely won't win many converts to the Saw franchise, but for longtime fans, it should prove a respectably revolting -- if rarely scary -- diversion.

The resulting Grand Guignol will please fans, although the gore is never as groundbreaking as the drowning in pig entrails and reserve bear traps of old.

Rated: 3/5

A marginally better entry into the franchise.

Which brings us to "Jigsaw," which fails for very much the same reasons as "The Mummy" - It was made to launch a franchise rather than because it was actually about something.

Deep Focus Review

Gorehounds will get their fill, and that's about the limit of Jigsaw's appeal.

Jigsaw will in no way, shape or form be a game changer for the horror genre.

"The horror genre typically sees women as passive and helpless, the perfect victims. But when the roles are reversed, a female killer reclaims some power."

I don't dislike it, but it's not an impactful installment in the Saw franchise. It was a good attempt to revitalize the franchise, similar to Spiral, but it's not quite there.

Ok so late to the party with this one but WHAT A FILM. There were so many things dropped in the film to keep you guessing and questioning your own narratives. There is like a triple twist at the end which makes it such an enjoyable watch and keeps you guessing throughout. Genius story line and the links between jigsaw and the characters which really adds to plot. A really enjoyable film and an excellent addition to the franchise, which had died off a lot over the last 3 films.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
