What to Know

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.

Tara Brady Irish Times 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 Nov 4, 2017 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle A marginally better entry into the franchise. Rated: 2/5 Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Matthew Rozsa Salon.com 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. Rated: 2/4 Oct 29, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Gorehounds will get their fill, and that's about the limit of Jigsaw's appeal. Rated: 1/4 Mar 14, 2022 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Jigsaw will in no way, shape or form be a game changer for the horror genre. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 18, 2022 Full Review John Manuel Arias Mediaversity Reviews "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." Rated: C- Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew P 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Chris J One of the dullest of the series. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review angela g I like this saw movie more than the 10 and thrid and 7 movie the twist is good i like the murder mystery story to it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Dean E Very solid plot, definitely a step up from Saw VII. Although i was expecting more gore. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Petar V Unless you want to be traumatized, then don't watch this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Amy M 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 09/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
