New Saw X Teaser Released

“I want to play a game.” Six years after we last saw serial killer John Kramer (Tobin Bell) in 2017’s Jigsaw, the man behind Billy the Puppet is back in Saw X. Part sequel and part prequel set between the events of 2004’s Saw and 2005’s Saw II with a still-alive John Kramer, the new movie is the 10th chapter in the James Wan and Leigh Whannell-created franchise and sees the iconic Jigsaw Killer put a twist on his infamous death traps. And a new promo, which you can see below, puts a Jigsaw twist on a classic children’s game: Operation.
