John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most disturbing installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.
Filmed in Mexico City.
Shawnee Smith is said to be returning in some form as “Amanda.”
Tobin Bell was expected to return and now it’s official that he’ll be back as the Jigsaw Killer, John Kramer. One of the producers was quoted saying: “What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin.

One of the film’s producers was quoted saying: “We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love.

Directed by Kevin Greutert (Saw VI an Saw: The Final Chapter).
Written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger (duo behind Jigsaw and Spiral).
This film will reportedly have no connection to the last two movies.
