Saw 4 movie storyline. A wax-coated microcassette is found in John Kramer’s stomach during his autopsy. It reveals to Mark Hoffman, the detective called in to hear it, that the games, including his own, will continue. Elsewhere, two men – one with his eyes sewn shut, the other has his mouth sewn shut – awaken in a mausoleum, chained at the neck to a winch. The blinded man panics and activates the winch while attacking the muted man, who kills him and removes a key from his collar to free himself.
Four days after Allison Kerry’s death, a SWAT team led by Hoffman and Lieutenant Daniel Rigg finds her body, and Hoffman warns Rigg for breaking through an unsecured door to reach her. The scene is also investigated by Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, Kerry’s FBI contacts, who received a message and a key from her. Noting John’s and Amanda Young’s physical limitations, Strahm states they are looking for an unidentified accomplice; he soon becomes suspicious of Rigg, who has developed an obsession with saving people in the six months since the disappearance of detective Eric Matthews.
That night, Rigg is attacked in his home; he awakens to learn that Eric is alive and has ninety minutes to save himself, with Hoffman’s life also at risk. Meanwhile, he must play his own game to face and overcome his obsession. The detectives are shown to be at each end of a large seesaw: Eric is held atop an ice block by a chain-noose, and Hoffman is strapped to a chair with electrodes at his feet. If Eric slips or too much ice melts, both men will die. A man later arrives to oversee the game.
Rigg finds a prostitute, Brenda, bound to a chair in his living room, which he accidentally turns on the trap, which slowly tears apart her scalp. Rigg frees her, but kills Brenda in self-defense when she attacks Rigg with a knife (having been instructed to kill him to evade arrest). Rigg is then led to a motel and instructed to abduct the owner, Ivan Landsness, who Rigg finds out is a serial rapist.
He forces Ivan onto a bed, which requires Ivan to blind both of his eyes to escape in time. Ivan blinds only one of his eyes, and the trap dismembers him. Rigg is led to a school, where he finds a married couple impaled by metal spikes: Rex, who is already dead from major-artery blood loss; and Morgan, who has remained alive at his expense by pulling the spikes from both their bodies. Morgan pulls out her last spike and Rigg gives her a key to save herself. Rigg turns on a fire alarm and goes to the location of his final test.
Saw IV is a 2007 American-Canadian[3] horror film and the fourth installment in the Saw franchise. It was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and written by newcomers Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton, and Thomas Fenton. It stars Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, and Lyriq Bent.
The film continues the story of the Jigsaw Killer’s obsession with teaching people the value of their lives. Despite Jigsaw’s death in the previous installment, the film focuses on his ability to manipulate people into continuing his work. The story follows Lieutenant Daniel Rigg being put through a series of tests in order to try to let go of his obsession with saving everyone, while at the same time attempting to save his partner.
The film was released in North America on October 26, 2007 to generally negative reviews from critics. Despite this, the film was a box office success, grossing $139 million worldwide. It was followed by Saw V on October 24, 2008.
The film grossed $63,300,095 in the United States and an additional $71,228,814 internationally, bringing the theatrical total to $134,528,909. It is Lionsgate’s sixth highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada.
Saw IV’s writers were Thomas Fenton, Marcus Dunstan, and Patrick Melton. There was also a hunt for a director before it was officially stated that Darren Lynn Bousman would direct the fourth installment, with creators and executive producers James Wan and Leigh Whannell also returning. Principal photography took from 16 April 2007 to 3 May 2007. The filming location was Toronto, Ontario; the same place both Saw II and Saw III were filmed. The post-production period began on 19 May.
In an interview with Bousman, he stated that the last work on Saw IV would happen in August to be able to have prints made.[6] At Comic Con 2007, it was revealed by Bousman and producer Mark Burg that the MPAA had given the film an NC-17 rating. They would have to figure out whether or not to cut the film to achieve an R rating or release it as an NC-17 film, the former of which they accomplished. Lionsgate held its fourth annual “Give Til It Hurts” blood drive for the Red Cross.
