    Jigsaw

    For better or worse - but mostly worse - the blood-splashing, yucky Saw franchise is back to make you feel nauseous rather than spooked this Halloween weekend! Latest installment in a series of 8 movies (!), Jigsaw, directed by the Spierig Brothers (Daybreakers), is one more proof that the word "enough" isn't part of Hollywood producers' vocabulary, sadly spoiling what made an initially not-so-bad story remarkable in the first place.
