Jigsaw Anthology - Volume 1: The Barn, The

This is a very solid horror edit. Jigsaw without the police investigation, instead focussing on the traps and the game. Impressively, over half of the runtime is cut. Cuts are well done and seamless. Would definitely like to see more instalments in the anthology as a lot of the Saw films could do with this treatment.

I was able to have the time to watch this edit and I absolutely loved it. Jigsaw was just a massive mess in my opinion, but it was still good. This edit takes everything bad out of the film and sticks straight to the gore and horror of it.

I can not wait for volume two :)

I´ve been pretty excited about this project and was keen to see the first volume.
After a short time of adjustment in which movie this one plays, i absolutley liked it. It is so much more mysteries and gore centered if the sideplot is out of the way.
So well done, nice fast gore horror. Another audiotrack (stereo) would have been nice, but it is a little piece in a absolutley good work.

keen to see the other volumes:)

Bobson Duggnutt does it again with another incredibly professional edit! I loved this approach to the Saw series, and Jigsaw in particular. This works very effectively as a "pilot" for the Saw franchise, if one doesn't mind going into the first Saw film with the knowledge that John Kramer is the Jigsaw killer. However, the first movie is still mysterious enough that the twist could be preserved with the right editing.
The Barn is incredibly streamlined, removing the mystery/cop element and focusing on the traps/horror. The story is tight and well paced.

It leaves me wanting to see the rest of the franchise given a similar treatment!

As a lover of the SAW films, this was a no brainer to watch for me. Having watched them all, I thought I would invest in a new perspective on the franchise. This was truly all KILLER, no FILLER.

This cut has cut out all of the non trap based scenes and managed to create a direct narrative within this and it works seamlessly. I was worried that it wouldn't make a lot of sense and would be choppy but the edit is crafted incredibly well and still keep the core principle of what the SAW franchise is all about.

I cant recommend this enough if you are a big SAW fan. Especially if you want a SAW film in a shorter amount of time.
