 Tagline: For every death, there is a new life.... Jigsaw's baby takes over.
“What the fuck is going on? Where am I?”
Those words, uttered two minutes into 2004's SAW, express the primal emotions - the hopeless confusion, the awful sense of powerlessness and sheer, panic-stricken terror - that lie at the heart of Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures' SAW franchise; emotions that are a key to its phenomenal success.
The SAW films follow the machinations of Jigsaw, a terminally ill cancer patient with an exacting moral agenda and a genius for gruesome games of survival, “played” with those he believes have ceased to value and appreciate the gift of life. Ratcheting up tension and invention with each successive film, the SAW franchise has touched a chord while jangling millions of nerves worldwide.
It has picked up the baton from classic horror series such as Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street to become a cultural touchstone, as well as the most profitable horror franchise, both theatrically and on DVD, in movie history. To date, the three SAW titles have taken in over $400 million in worldwide theatrical box office and their combined net DVD sales exceed 13 million units.
