Lionsgate has provided us with the official synopsis for director Darren Lynn Bousman's horror sequel, Saw IV, arriving in theatres on October 26:

Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead.

Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw's latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle.

However, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.


In addition, the studio has released the main cast and the characters they play in the film:

Tobin Bell : Jigsaw
Scott Patterson : Agent Straum
Betsy Russell : Jill
Costas Mandylor : Hoffman
Lyriq Bent : Rigg
Athena Karkanis : Agent Perez
Justin Louis : Art
Simon Reynolds : Lamanna
Mike Realba : Fisk
Marty Adams : Ivan

In my opinion all the saw movies kick-ass and saw 4 should be pretty good!

Saw 1 was not different, it was just a grisly interpretation of David Fincher's Se7en. It's one of the worst horror franchises in my opinion

i loved how the 1st film concentrated on two people being chained up on a bathroom floor, the entire room is a puzzle and they have to contemplate their escape, only to result in a failed attempt of redemption

the sequels afterwards strayed a little to far from this concentration, now the films have been recently concentrating on how flashy and elaborate the death scenes can be, the plot twists pale in comparison to saw 1's original surprise ending

so what i'm saying is i hold no high expectations from saw 4, just another gory film

saw 1 may not have had the best storyline, but at least it was different and it was going somewhere
