Synopsis

"Hello, Michael. I want to play a game..."

Jigsaw is back. The brilliant, disturbed mastermind who wreaked havoc on his victims in last year's SAW is back for another round of horrifying life-or-death games. When a new murder victim is discovered with all the signs of Jigsaw's (Tobin Bell) hand, Detective Eric Mathews (Donnie Wahlberg) begins a full investigation and apprehends Jigsaw with little effort. But for Jigsaw, getting caught is just another part of his nefarious plan.

But instead of two people locked in a room with only one unthinkable way out, there are eight. Eight strangers - unaware of their connection to each other - forced to play out a game that challenges their wits and puts their lives in jeopardy.

Eight more of his victims are already fighting for their lives - and now it's time for Mathews to join the game...

From Twisted Pictures and Lions Gate Films comes SAW II. Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, the film is produced by Oren Koules, Mark Burg and Gregg Hoffman, and executive produced by SAW's writer and co-star Leigh Whannell and SAW director James Wan. SAW II is co-written by Whannell and Bousman and was filmed entirely in Toronto, Ontario.
