Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the newly released second trailer for Jigsaw.

Plot’s It All About? Much like one of Jigsaw’s fiendish traps, the Saw franchise is one of the most formidable and enduring sagas in horror history – the first seven “Saw” films grossed more than $870 million worldwide – so we weren’t surprised to see that a new film being released.

As for the plot, bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade.

One of the co-directors, Michael Spierig, told Entertainment Weekly: “We’ve got some pretty wild traps in the film – we don’t shy away from the gore It’s such a perfect Halloween scarefest. It’s perhaps not quite as vicious and more fun, which is something we tried to inject into it. But’s still full of good fun gore, that’s for sure. And, on top of that, it’s got a really great mystery, and there’s very interesting twists. It’s Saw for 2017.”

Starring: Mandela Van Peebles, Hannah Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Brittany Allen, Callum Keith Rennie, Matt Passmore, Hannah Emily Anderson, Josiah Black, Shaquan Lewis, Michael Bolsvert, and James Gomez.

Directed by: Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers, Predestination)

Release Date: 27 October 2017
