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 Kerrys 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, Kerrys FBI contacts, who received a message and a key from her. Noting Kramers and Amanda Youngs 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 Matthews is alive and has ninety minutes to save himself, with Hoffmans 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 Matthews is held atop an ice block by a chain noose, and Hoffman is strapped to a chair with electrodes at his feet. If Matthews 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. 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 Landsness onto a bed, which blinds only one of Landsness eyes, and the trap dismembers him. Rigg is led to a school, where he finds a married couple, Rex, who is already dead, and Morgan, who already has her spikes pulled out of her body. 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. The agents alternate between investigating the scenes and questioning Jill Tuck, Kramers ex wife. Jill reveals Kramers work with civil engineering and property development, and that she miscarried her son Gideon after seven months when Cecil Adams, a drug addict, slammed a door into her stomach while robbing her health clinic. At the motel, the agents learn that the room was rented out to a lawyer named Art Blank, who vanished two weeks prior, and survivor of the mausoleum trap. Blank is revealed to be the man overseeing the game when he stops Matthewss attempts at jumping and gives him a gun. At the school, the agents learn that all three victims, as well as Jill, were Blanks clients. A crime scene photographer is killed by a trap, while Strahm and Perez find a puppet and a tape recorder in another room, which plays a cryptic message for Perez before its face explodes, sending shrapnel into her face. After Perez is hospitalized, Strahm furiously questions Jill, now convinced of Blanks involvement, and how Kramer ended his work with the wake of Blanks depression, and that Cecil became the first victim of Kramers games. Strahm connects her story and a prior clue to the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, the location of his final test. Strahm arrives after Rigg, but ends up following Jeff Denlon. After finding Jeff in the sickroom, Strahm shoots him dead in self defense when Jeff demands his daughter back. Meanwhile, Blank pulls out a device which will free them when the timer expires if used before then, a pair of pincers will sever his spine. Rigg finds them and is shot by Matthews as he breaks into the room, releasing two overhead ice blocks which swing down and crush Matthews head, killing him. Rigg shoots and kills Blank, believing him responsible for the game, only to learn from Blanks tape recorder that his interference caused Matthews death. Hoffman, the actual accomplice, releases himself from the chair, but leaves Rigg to bleed to death. He seals Strahm in the sickroom and leaves the plant. The scene cuts to Hoffman at the morgue, which implies that Johns autopsy took place after the events of the film.

The Rotten Tomatoes consensus states Saw IV is more disturbing than compelling, with material already seen in the prior installments. On Metacritic, the film has an average score of 3. Scott Schueller from the Los Angeles Times called it a film as edgy as a rubber knife and said that if the terrible craft of Bousmans film doesnt turn your stomach, the borderline pornographic violence will. Its disconcerting to imagine anyone enjoying the vile filth splashing the screen. Frank Scheck from The Hollywood Reporter said the famously inventive torture sequences here seem depleted of imagination, but added that it hasnt yet jumped the shark like such predecessors as the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 1. Peter Hartlaub from The San Francisco Chronicle called it the Syriana of slasher films, so complicated and circuitous that your only hope of understanding everything is to eat lots of fish the night before and then watch each of the previous films, in order, right before you enter the theater. James Berardinelli wrote that Saw IV functions as a drawn out, tedious epilogue to a series that began with an energetic bang three years ago with Saw, then progressively lost momentum, coherence, and intelligence with each successive annual installment. Saw IV is nothing short of a money grab. Despite a couple of loose ends that are tied up unsatisfactorily here, Saw III finished the story. Game. Cube Wikipedia. Nintendo Game. Cube.
