The uncut version has been released on DVD in the UK and the US. It is eight seconds longer than the R-rated version. The additional shots included a close-up of the body on the bathroom floor, additional forensic photos, a short segment of Paul running through the "Razor Wire Maze", and Amanda sifting through the intestines looking for the key to the "Reverse Bear Trap".

When two men, wake up and find themselves chained to a bathroom pipe, with a dead body lying in between them, they soon realize that they are prisoners, in the secure lair of a serial killer, nicknamed 'Jigsaw'.
This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep its audiences fully awake, and engaged. This was an enormous achievement for Aussie newcomers James Wan, and Leigh Wannell. The two have created a well-deserved horror/thriller, without the necessary clichés.The film is not too scary that it becomes unwatchable, so the full potential of its enormity will not be missed. definitely two thumbs uo for me.
