Jigsaw 4K 2017 Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
Jigsaw is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. This is another rather nice upgrade from a 2K DI, one that palpably increases fine detail on elements like facial pores or (more gruesomely) some of the horrifying injuries suffered by the "game players". Some of the extreme close-ups of both bodies and the film's rather weird assortment of props feature superb levels of fine detail, to the point that I actually found it a bit hard to keep looking at a couple of the more gory moments, like the corpse with the front of its head shorn off. One of the better upticks with this version is with regard to the many darker sequences that play out in the confines of the gaming arena. Shadow definition is at least marginally improved, and in a couple of amber graded sequences, like one in a grain silo, more than merely marginally. There are still some minor deficits in fine detail levels in the more ubiquitous blue or slate gray graded material. The palette looks slightly warmer to my eyes at times, something that kind of oddly "works" for a film that would seem to be more at home with cool tones.

No doubt, Saw (2004) is still one of the finest bloody movies, all sequels were very good and enjoyable except 3D, I really wanted to have hope for Jigsaw, even the eight part sounds a bit too much for me and I didn't expect for new SAW movie. After seeing Jigsaw, it was enough solid and interesting, but I just had some feeling that they made a needless story because it wasn't so important for fans of Saw franchise. Everything about this was just really solid, and the twist was good one. The games/traps are not as strong/brutal as from previous Saw movies, but still made me interesting what will happen next. I found Jigsaw a less disturbing, but a little better than Leatherface. It's actually more detective movie and it doesn't feel exactly like a Saw movie, but however, it was interesting.
