Saw VI

This is like a family reunion! Amanda is back! Jigsaw is back! Jigsaw's (ex-)wife is in on everything! The first two are only back in flashbacks, but Jill is there to the final act, where Mark Hoffman gets his own little test.

The main attraction is an insurance honcho named William who has to work his way through a number of tests, usually involving the sacrifice of lives of people working for him. If he makes it in time, he will be reunited with his family. On the other end of his route are two cages, one holding a mother and son, the other holding an annoying journalist woman that got a little too close to a truth of some kind.

Now, we assume that the mother and son are the family in question. In reality, they are family to a deceased man, who got denied coverage of his potentially life saving treatment by William. Ultimately, these two will decide whether William lives or dies. The journalist is his sister.

Unfortunately, Mark Hoffman will probably live to see another day as a total douche bag, as his name appears in the cast list of Saw 3D and a flashback with him in it is probably too much to hope for.

Now I will have to lay the story to rest until October 10, when I have already arranged to watch the final chapter with my horror film aficionado friend.
