Every horror film needs a villain, but Saw’s game-playing serial killer Jigsaw - played by Tobin Bell - is rarely glimpsed on-screen.
“You may think there’s not much there for a guy lying in a pool of blood on the floor but there’s a lot of power in that,” explains Bell.
"He’s a slow, deliberate speaker and even out of character he exudes a cerebral kind of creepiness.
“When I read the final scene it took my breath away. So, as an actor, do you read a script and say, ‘Let’s see, I have 120 lines and I’m in this scene and that scene...’ or do you approach it from the point of view of, ‘Oh my god, this film is worth doing just for this scene, just for this moment, just for this touch'?”
“Jigsaw thinks the world’s going to hell in a hand basket,” explains Bell. “It has become survival of the mediocre as opposed to survival of the fittest.
“As a result we have weak leaders, weak legislators, weak people in almost every walk of life. Those weaknesses are reflected in people who have everything and appreciate nothing, which disturbs him.”
