Plot
With a dead body laying between them, two men wake up in the lair of a serial killer nicknamed “Jigsaw” by the police because of his unusual calling card.
Horrorfest Administrator Review
An original and inventive premise that has since been copied too many times.  It is a shame that the acting suffers from lack of time and budget.  Gore and mind-boggling situations contribute to the Scare Factor.  An excellent film that has a lot to offer for only being shot in 18 days.
Note:  Commentaries and other special features are worth checking out, especially on the Special “Uncut” Edition that includes the original short film.
