Disease is all the rage, especially the ones that brings human beings to the level of nothing more of the unthinking and savage, the brutal and the one that is driven by hunger. Disease is the great leveller and as what is on screen can mimic the daily survival of society, it seems only fair that cinema constantly finds new ways to remind the viewer of the fragility of human existence.

Back on track, refreshed and full of deserved karma retribution; for where the Saw franchise arguably lost its way after the first two incredibly decent outings, what Jigsaw provides is shock and horror of the best kind. There is nothing wrong with cinema grappling and glorifying in supernatural horror, it is a staple, a diet that has meaning and an audience, the ghost story turned inward has always the power of eating away at some of basest fears. However, for a true sense of delightful repulsion, one cannot escape the scenarios dreamed up by the human mind and carried out in the name of science, vengeance and enjoyment.
