PLOT John Kramer (Bell), the ‘Jigsaw Killer’, is dying of cancer. When he discovers a radical new treatment is a lie, he exacts revenge on the doctors behind it.
DEATH ISN’T THE worst thing that can happen to you in a Saw film. Why, you can die and still return again and again, like Tobin Bell’s original bad guy here. Despite expiring in Saw III, he’s back with more horrible traps in this tenth film, a prequel, and if it should still be plenty gross enough for fans, the horror is as tired as his poor, cancer-riddled bones.
