Movie Synopsis
The murderous “Jigsaw” (Tobin Bell) is back with a newer and weirder killing game.
The discovery of yet another victim with the “jigsaw” signature of death brings Agent Eric Matthews (Donnie Warburg) back to his haunting nightmare . But what was unexpected was that the murderer left very obvious clues, and the police’s investigation and evidence collection went very smoothly.
In fact, all of this is under the control of “Jigsaw” (Tobin Bell), leaving clues and getting himself arrested is an important prerequisite for his next evil game: there will be 8 strangers to each other. People are forced to join the game, and what’s even crazier is that another player has been locked as Matthews.
Under the planning of “Jigsaw”, another life-and-death game full of thrills is about to begin…
