The 10th chapter of the horror-torture saga Saw is already in the starting blocks. Now you can watch the first trailer for the return of the original Jigsaw in Saw 10 aka Saw X.
Let the games begin again. The popular horror series Saw is going into its next round this year. After the spin-off Saw: Spiral, which was less popular with fans, the franchise returns to its beginnings this autumn with Saw X. Ignoring the last 8 films, the prequel brings back Tobin Bell as iconic Jigsaw killer John Kramer. And there’s already a first trailer now.
Saw X brings back legendary Jigsaw killer in first trailer
After 19 years and 9 films, the Saw series looks back on a complex mythology with multiple killers and intertwined time layers. But you don’t have to be a Jigsaw expert to see the 10th Saw film. The film chronologically follows the original 2004 Saw film and precedes Saw II. The plot of the eight sequels therefore plays no role.
As a result, fans can also look forward to a return of the original Jigsaw killer, who actually perished in Saw III. John Kramer is still alive in Saw 10 and is terminally ill. In the hope of a miracle cure for his cancer, Jigsaw heads to Mexico in the new film.
The experimental cancer treatment, however, is a scam that serves the sole purpose of exploiting desperate people. Unfortunately, the masterminds have messed with the wrong guy. To take revenge on the fraudsters and show them their wrongdoing, John Kramer resorts to what he does best: crafting brutal and perfidious death traps as the Jigsaw Killer.
Jigsaw is not the only familiar face in the Saw X directed by Kevin Greutert (director of Saw VI and Saw VII – Completion). Shawnee Smith also returns as trap survivor and now killer protege Amanda Young. It is not yet known whether other well-known franchise characters such as Dr. Lawrence Gordon or the later Jigsaw successor Mark Hoffman will appear.
