Jigsaw Reviews
Gorehounds will get their fill, and that's about the limit of Jigsaw's appeal.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 14, 2022
Jigsaw will in no way, shape or form be a game changer for the horror genre.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2022
"The horror genre typically sees women as passive and helpless, the perfect victims. But when the roles are reversed, a female killer reclaims some power."
| Original Score: C- | Oct 21, 2021
Though slicker and better-directed than any prior Saw film, Jigsaw's tame gore and rehashed plot twists make it mostly fall flat.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2021
While Jigsaw is a perfectly serviceable entry in the Saw franchise, it doesn't bear scrutiny on its own.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 1, 2020
Even though there are some chances taken, it just feels like another Saw movie and not something that is going to warrant a new generation of films.

It is a new demonstration that this franchise had already given everything it had to offer. [Full Review in Spanish]

'Jigsaw' is neither the most original movie, nor the most surprising, not even the bloodiest in the series. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Aug 6, 2019
Perhaps the Saw franchise has outlived its own relevance. In a world grown numb from violent death, Jigsaw just doesn't seem to have a place.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 4, 2019
Despite some plot details feeling unrealistic, the film has a thrilling suspenseful premise with a satisfying twist for fans of the SAW franchise.
| Original Score: B- | May 8, 2019
Been there, done that.

Fun and gruesome though it may be, it's too little too late to save the now eight-deep Saw series.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2019
Unfortunately, there's nowhere else for these movies to go. They've been painted into a corner by the limitations of the concept; Jigsaw is the unavoidable result of those limitations, a film that is completely and utterly familiar.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 8, 2019
No worse than even the most average of Saw movies. Unfortunately, it isn't any better, either.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2018
It can't help but feel like something of a disappointment. Stylistically different but narratively more of the same, Jigsaw isn't the revival fans of the franchise deserved.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018
Not a great film or particularly memorable in its own right, but it gets the job done and doesn't overstay its welcome
| Original Score: 2.5 | Oct 31, 2018
The latest film has everything we've come to expect from a Saw film -- horrifying traps [and] generous gore.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018
Jigsaw doesn't quite get there as far as slasher films go. It's a weak imitation of the previous films but it's not the weakest in the franchise.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 2, 2018
Jigsaw: failing to pick up the pieces since 2010. It's a massive shame for what was once a playful and fun horror movie franchise.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2018
While largely one for fans of the franchise there is more than enough here to appease genre fans of all opinion.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 15, 2018
