[Rated R]

Bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one suspect: John Kramer, the man known as Jigsaw, who has been dead for over 10 years. --IMDB

Gore - 5

I expect gore when I watch any movie that is a part of the Saw franchise. This movie didn't have as much gore as previous Saw movies, but it was definitely still gory. None of the kills were head turners, but they get bonus points for creativity. I thoroughly enjoy the creative kills in the Saw movies, so I was delighted to see some in this installment as well.

Scariness - 1

Saw movies are not meant to be scary and this one follows suit.

Creepiness - 1

I didn't really expect this to be creepy either and it wasn't.

Plot - 4

I had to watch this movie twice to fully grasp the twisted ending, but this is definitely one of my favorite movies in the franchise. The "bad guy" was a bit predictable, but it still kept me guessing a little.

Effects - 5

The effects are hardly ever lacking in Saw movies. This movie is no different; all the kills looked realistic.
