(JAMES WAN)
Jigsaw (John Kramer) starts his reign of terror with two men chained to a wall, two rusty saws, a convoluted conspiracy and that pig mask. Watch out for “dead” bodies – you just never know. BODY COUNT: 7
SICKEST TRAP: Head- exploding jaw trap.
BELL: “What drew me to it is that I thought that the script was rather Waiting For Godot-like. Three guys locked in a room? Come on, I hadn’t seen that before. I wasn’t concerned that my guy didn’t say anything, it didn’t matter, he was this pres- ence on the floor. When I got to the end of the script, I did not an- ticipate what was going to hap- pen. And I thought if I don’t anticipate this moment, then the viewer’s not going to anticipate it either and it’s going to be amaz- ing if they shoot it properly.”
(DARREN LYNN BOUSMAN)
Jigsaw puts eight people through an epic game while in the custody of detective Eric Matthews. Amanda, the lone survivor from Saw, is revealed to be Jigsaw’s protegé and Matthews turns out to be their latest victim. Score another one for the bad guys. BODY COUNT: 10
SICKEST TRAP: Hypodermic needle pit.
BELL: “I have a lot of strong feelings about Saw II. I really liked working with Donnie Wahlberg a lot. He had a very strong sense of truth. You got two guys sitting at a table and you might not think that’s going to be very interesting, but I felt that these were the first mo- ments that you actually got to know the guy who had been laying on the floor in Saw. ... Which installment is closest to my heart? I have to say Saw II, the first one that Darren di- rected, and it was a pleasure to watch him grow with the material.”
(DARREN LYNN BOUSMAN)
Jigsaw and Amanda (complete with goth makeover!) concoct a new game while being pursued by the police. In accordance to the plan, Jigsaw, Amanda and the poor contestant in his game are killed. If Jigsaw’s dead, that’s it, right? BODY COUNT: 9
SICKEST TRAP: Ensnar- ing tub of liquefying pig carcasses.
BELL: “Even with a guy like this, audiences have to see something in him that makes them say, ‘You know, I’ve thought that. I’ve been in that situation,’ whether it has to do with broader things like commitment or the whole issue of vengeance. ... It was difficult for me when I realized how sick [my character] was in Saw III. There was a moment when I had a full-on convulsion and there was no denying anymore how close to death he was. That whole sequence was particularly difficult, both tech- nically and emotionally.”
(DARREN LYNN BOUSMAN)
In a flashback-choked plot running concurrently to the events of Saw III, Detective Hoffman and FBI agent Peter Strahm investigate the disap- pearance of Matthews. Hoffman is revealed as another Jigsaw hench- man who plans to continue the good work, starting by killing Matthews. BODY COUNT: 9
SICKEST TRAP: Two men are chained to a winch. One’s eyes are sewn shut and the other’s lips are sewn shut. The winch pulls them together towards death. If they could com- municate they might survive, but alas…
BELL: “I was glad to have Darren back to work on IV. I really liked the aspects where we began to develop Kramer’s relationship with his ex- wife and started to show some of those moments that highlighted a little bit of where he came from. Even if they were just little splashes of paint, I quite enjoyed that part.”
