What started out as a low budget, generic "torture porn" film has slowly morphed over the years into an endearingly goofy film franchise. If you've never seen a Saw film before, I'm sure its lasting success seems like a mystery from the outside. But underneath its increasingly complicated Rube Goldberg death contraptions and labyrinthine timeline lies an attention to detail and dedication to its overall canon pretty much unseen in any other horror series.
As the first new entry in the series in seven years (after the The Final Chapter, no less) I had completely forgotten the kind of itch this series tends to scratch. The phrase "you know what you're getting" usually carries a negative connotation, but that isn't the case with Jigsaw.
It's like a warm, goofy as hell blanket.
