Jigsaw Trailers

A college class tackles a bizarre project - splitting up a mannequin, they each decorate a piece. The net result is an exquisite corpse they name 'Jigsaw'. After a night of drunken confessions, the group burns the lifeless body but their darkest secrets come back to haunt them when their brainchild rises from the ashes, targeting each of the creators for a brutal death that is in keeping with their own fears!

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Vomitron_G I thought about not even flunking this film, because for a recent Full Moon quickie it's not all that bad. But you do have to wait like 50 minutes to finally see some Jigsaw action. Still, the film certainly wasn't boring to me (though I can imagine to many it will be, since it's not really a gore feast). The Jigsaw-killer being built out of the traumatizing fears of the students was a nice touch, by the way. Hmmm... but then again: "The Fear" (1995), anyone?. Okay acting & cinematography, even, for a low budget fair like this. Cool ending that was both disappointing and satisfying at the same time. You figure it out.
terrible2 Too many low budget horror films are mistakenly expected to be intellectual masterpieces of modern cinema. Sadly, many viewers are confused by this, but the truth is they are (low budget) and in many cases close to (no budgets). The directing team of Adams & Picardi are well known to work with next to nothing, and I think "Jigsaw" is what it's supposed to be: a low budget, fun horror flick. The story is goofy to begin with, a group of students embark on an art project of piecing together a mannequin. Being the troubled souls that they are, they use power tools and weapons as limbs, and would you believe it... It comes to life and terrorizes them. Nothing too thought-provoking or out of the ordinary here, it's a cheesy, fun film with some decent and dumb moments. The acting is solid, and I found it to be a fun little evening of mindless horror. If you take these films for what they are, you'll find them much more enjoyable...
Andrew Jakiel I love B movies..but come on....this wasn't even worth a grade...The ending was dumb...b/c THERE WAS NO REAL ENDING!!!..not to mention that it comes to life on its own...I mean no lighting storm or crazy demonic powers?? Slow as hell and then they just start killing off the characters one by one in like a 15 min time period...and i won't even start on the part of the thing killing the one guy without its head....and then you don't even get to see what Jigsaw even does with his so called "new jigsaw puzzle"....Unless you have nothing better to do...Id watch paint dry before Id recommend this God-forsaken movie to anyone else...oh and to make it even better the other movie totem you can see the guy throwing the one creature in the basement scene from the window..that was funny as hell and probably the only good part of watching that waste of film
TempeFanClub JIGSAW is a great flick by the great horror duo, Don Adams and Harry Picardi. The premise is that a college class gets a project to each design a piece of a mannequin in the styles of their own fears. They assemble their collective pieces, which turns out twisted beyond any of the class would have expected... It has a buzz saw for one hand, a sawed-off shotgun for the other. One leg is a mess of broken dishes/pottery, with the other being made of newspaper headlines. The head is made of a video camera and several types of fireworks. Very cool!The class ends up burning their creation in an effigy to release their subconscious and conscious fears. The creature comes alive (possibly through the practice of dark arts by "The Man With the Sombrero") and seeks to create his own Jigsaw creation using the pieces of the students.Highly recommended for great script, acting, look, and the best soundtrack I've heard in any movie over the past several years. You must see this movie!!!
