Jigsaw Files, The

A very impressive edit which pieces together Jigsaw's backstory over 6 films (in the first half). Very good editing throughout, and this edit can serve effectively as a replacement to the first Saw film. The second part of this edit is essentially just Saw. If I have one critique, it is that the identity of the dead man on the floor (from the first Saw) is revealed before that part of the film begins, which weakens the ending reveal. Other than that, great job here by Sunarep on his reconstruction of John Kramer's life before the events of the first film, it's definitely an interesting watch.

This was great! I’m not a huge fan of the Saw franchise, but the aspect I like the most is the continuous plot elements/flashbacks spread throughout. So, for Sunarep to string together all the important parts, this makes for one very entertaining edit.
I’ll agree with the other reviews that it slows down quite a bit once we hit the bathroom and the focus shifts from Kramer to Gordon & Adam and it becomes less exciting to a degree.

Ok first off this review is about 3 years late if not longer... My bad Sun. That being said this is the edit that made me want to do my first fanedit!

I can't say enough good things about this edit. I saw an AVI of the edit, which to my knowledge is not an official release but video and audio quality were excellent! The video get's a small ding due to the changes of color and what not but that isn't exactly the editor's fault. Me personally the one thing I would like from this edit would have been some color correction to make all the Saw footage match. But I do understand the undertaking that would be before you even take into account that every movie is a drastically different color. Audio over all was excellent!

Narrative and enjoyment: This is a masterpiece . Every scene is clearly thought out and there for a reason. But more importantly you never feel like your watching a fanedit. being very familiar with the Saw franchise it opened my eyes to how much potential fanediting had. The ability to take all those movies and mix them into 1 was done flawlessly.

Well done sir!
