Trivia:
According to director Darren Lynn Bousman, the fans of the "House of Jigsaw" message board heavily influenced this film. It is also dedicated to the memory of late SAW producer Gregg Hoffman after his sudden passing in December, prior to the release of Saw II (2005). more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Jigsaw pulls out the tape player at the end of the movie, his thumb is on top of the tape player, nowhere near the play button on the side of it. However, we distinctly hear a click (as if the play button had just been pressed), and the tape begins to play, even though the play button was never pressed. more
Quotes:
Jigsaw:
Amanda, it's OK. This was your test... your game.
[flashback]
Jigsaw:
What do I want? I want to play a game. You are being tested, your will is being tested, your will to keep someone alive. Can you do that? Can you follow the rules and grant someone the gift of life?
[flashback over]
Jigsaw:
I was testing you. I took you in.

Well, i didn't walk into this theater expecting the greatest horror movie of all time, and i wasn't shocked. I was happy though with the experience and found myself shielding my eyes, trying to keep up with what is at first a very disjointed plot, and eventually trying not to see the predictable outcomes of this film. Loved the gore, loved the traps (although they were a bit much in this version, and unfortunately there weren't many actual traps, just some excess eye candy lying about the workshops and scenes of instruments of terror.) Honestly, i saw more gruesome items of destruction in the trailer for hostel 2, but whatever. The movie was well worth my eight bucks, and i will likely rent it when it comes out to watch it again. Loved the whole trilogy, and as for this movie. i think it can't stand alone. If you liked the first two, you'll love this one, just don;t expect too much. The plot was just right, once it got going, and the gore was intense, too much even for this hardcore horror lover, but hey- you get what you pay for.
