An attempt to jumpstart the Saw franchise after the previous installment claimed to be the final chapter (fool me once...). This time a copycat is going around following the same M.O. as the Jigsaw killer, prompting police to wonder if John Kramer is still alive (despite seemingly meeting his end all the way back in Saw III). There is more death and dismemberment abound, which is the cream and crop of this series, but apart from some clever audience manipulation, it feels all-too-familiar. A couple of twists make it worth watching for Saw completists, even though this is a far cry from the best of the series.
