As a film enthusiast with a passion for horror that spans over two decades, I can confidently say that the return of Jigsaw to the big screen is a momentous occasion that fills me with excitement and nostalgia. Having witnessed the first Saw back in 2004 when it was still a low-budget gem, I can attest to its transformative impact on the horror genre.
Each game starts with an origin, and that’s where the chilling saga of Jigsaw started 20 years back when the initial ‘Saw’ movie was released in 2004. Ever since then, ‘Saw’ has grown into a significant horror film series, featuring numerous sequels and spin-offs. In honor of its roots, fans will get to watch the unrated version of this film on the big screen for the very first time.
According to the official X page for “Saw”, the original movie is making a return to the big screen, presenting its full unrated version for the very first time. This exciting news was accompanied by a caption saying, “’20 years have passed, but I’m still ready for my close-up. Catch me again on the big screen when SAW Unrated cuts into select theaters on October 20 and 23.’” Fans are encouraged to “Secure your tickets promptly by clicking HERE.” The special screenings will also offer bonus content featuring Tobin Bell discussing his role as John Kramer and the entire “Saw” fanbase.
Saw Began as a Low-Budget Short Film
The horror film titled “Saw” was initially directed by James Wan in his first feature-length project, with a screenplay penned by his longtime friend Leigh Whannell. In the year 2001, they attempted to produce it in their home country, Australia, but were unsuccessful. After moving to Los Angeles, they made a low-budget short film of the same name, which caught the attention of Evolution Entertainment, who were simultaneously establishing a horror movie label called Twisted Pictures. As a result, the movie was given a modest budget of $1.2 million and a 18-day production schedule.
The movie showcases Whannell portraying Adam and Cary Elwess assuming the role of Dr. Lawrence Gordon, two individuals who find themselves in a run-down restroom with one instructed to murder the other as a means to safeguard his family. The plot revolves around the enigmatic Jigsaw Killer (Bell), an individual who challenges his victims’ resolve to live by subjecting them to gruesome games, causing severe physical agony. However, success in these games ensures their survival. Besides Whannell, Bell, and Elwes, the film boasts the talents of Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Michael Emerson, and Ken Leung.
Back in 2004, I was part of the fortunate few who attended the premiere of “Saw” at the Sundance Film Festival. Later on, Lionsgate snapped it up for distribution. Critics’ reviews were a bit divided, but boy, did this low-budget horror flick pack a punch! With just $1.2 million invested, “Saw” raked in an astounding $103.9 million at the box office. Fast forward to today, and the “Saw” franchise has amassed an impressive global revenue of over $1 billion, thanks to its success on the big screen and beyond!
