The Saw saga is making its big comeback in 2024 with a long-awaited new installment: Saw XI , and with it, a promise of violence, suspense and psychological terror. The film, produced by Lionsgate, recently unveiled its trailer, generating immense excitement among fans of the franchise, while offering an unexpected return of the legendary character of John Kramer, aka “Jigsaw”, played by the iconic Tobin Bell.
One of the big surprises of Saw XI is undoubtedly the return of Tobin Bell as John Kramer, the Jigsaw Killer, who had been absent from Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) and who seemed to have disappeared from the franchise universe after his supposed death in Saw III (2006). In this new adventure, the trailer reveals that Bell’s character is making his big comeback, which suggests new diabolical machinations and cruel games for his victims.
John Kramer’s return was a closely guarded secret, and the trailer hints at a more evil Jigsaw than ever. One of the most striking scenes shows Kramer in his lair, surrounded by his famous traps, with his icy and merciless gaze. The mystery of his motivations seems more complex than ever, and viewers are invited to delve into the twisted mind of the character who has terrorized cinemas for nearly two decades.
The Saw XI trailer doesn’t hold back on viewers, and from the very first seconds, the franchise’s suffocating atmosphere and dark tone are immediately present. The editing is fast and frenetic, with scenes of bloody traps and shots of victims caught in traps, highlighting the brutality and psychology behind Jigsaw’s “games.”
Fans can expect even more complex and horrifying traps. One of the most powerful scenes in the trailer shows a victim trapped in a hellish machine, with needles and blades ready to close in on them. The camera focuses on the victim’s terrified face, while Jigsaw’s voice echoes in the background, repeating his famous words: “You’re in a situation you never imagined, but it’s your only chance of survival.”
The montage also hints that a new generation of characters could be involved in the killer’s games, creating an interesting dynamic between the old and the new. Jigsaw’s legacy seems more present than ever, and viewers can prepare themselves for a tangle of mysteries and twists.
