Summary

Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy.  However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood. Making his feature film directorial debut is longtime SAW franchise editor Kevin Greutert. Says Greutert, “Coming on board for the first time as director, I really wanted SAW VI to be one man's journey, and I thought the best approach to that end would be to introduce a new character into the series. I love all of our other characters but we know their stories intimately. Plus it's hard to surprise the audience at this point. They are a savvy bunch. So what I want is for the film to be an emotional journey that the audience will be compelled to follow independently as a story rather than ‘what's the next trap going to be?’ And I think when SAW works best: when it's about a person going through a series of life challenges. That's absolutely William's story…with Jigsaw playing a number of mind games. He was saving the best for last.”
