Short description
Dead bodies begin to turn up all over the city, each meeting their demise in a variety of grisly ways. All investigations begin to point the finger at deceased killer John Kramer.
What's left behind the scenes
- Although "Saw 3D" (2010) was originally intended to be the final film in the series, Lionsgate expressed interest in continuing the franchise in 2012. Consequently, development of another installment began in 2016. The events of the eighth film take place after the events of "Saw 3D".
- At the 31st minute, Halloran asks his partner, Keith Hunt, what happened to Logan in the city of El-Fallujah. Keith reports that Logan was captured, but before that, he managed to kill three Taliban fighters. This is an error, as the Taliban is an Afghan movement, while El-Fallujah is located in Iraq.
- In the first scene of the film, when Edgar's car drives over a police spike strip, it can be seen that only the two left tires are punctured. Also, in subsequent shots just before the collision with the police barricade, all the car's wheels are once again intact.
- "Saw 8" is the first film in the franchise to be helmed by two directors—Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig. Additionally, it is the first film in the series shot in anamorphic format (with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1).
- When Anna tries to stop the trap and climbs onto the motorcycle at the 51st minute of the film, it can be noticed that the rear wheel of the motorcycle is not rotating.
- This is the first installment in the "Saw" series to be released more than a year after the previous one.
- Tobin Bell reprised his role as Jigsaw, despite his character's death in *Saw III* (2006).
- The initial title was "Saw: Legacy".
- Work on the film's script was completed in February 2016.
- Tobin Bell once again played the role of Jigsaw, even though his character had already died in the film "Saw III" (2006).
- Although originally intended to be the final film in the series, "Saw 3D" (2010), Lionsgate expressed interest in continuing the franchise in 2012. Development of another installment began in 2016. The eighth film takes place after the events of "Saw 3D".
- The film was shot in 2016 in Toronto (Canada). Filming began on September 26, on the birthday of Gustavo Gularte, who was initially considered for the lead role. Because Gularte was unable to obtain a work visa in time, the role went to another actor, however, Gularte posted a video of his audition on YouTube titled Walking After You.
- A reference to the movie "Saw 8" appears in James Wan's horror film "Insidious" (2010). This is in the form of a drawing of a clown with the number 8 beneath it, which can be spotted in one of the scenes.
- A reference to "Saw 8" appears in James Wan's horror film "The Conjuring" (2010). It is a drawing of a clown with the number 8 underneath it, which can be seen in one of the scenes.
- "Saw 8" is the first film in the franchise to be co-directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig. It is also the first film in the series shot in an anamorphic format (aspect ratio of 2.35:1).
