Saw: The Final Chapter

The Jigsaw Killer's horrific legacy lives on in the last installment of the Saw franchise, as those who survived his brutal "lessons" come together to form a support group. Some of them are looking to heal, while others only want revenge. And you know what that means: more blood and guts! Circular saws, meat hooks, reverse bear traps... you could say the gang's all here.
