Jigsaw’s survivors gather in ‘Saw 3D’

Movie: "Saw 3D"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Cary Elwes, Sean Patrick Flanery

Director: Kevin Greutert

The story: With a deadly battle raging over Jigsaw's brutal legacy, a group of Jigsaw's survivors gathers to seek the support of self-help guru -- and fellow victim -- Bobby Dagen, whose own dark secrets may unleash a new round of terror.

The buzz: Just in time for Halloween comes the seventh -- and, according to the advertising campaign, final -- chapter in the "Saw" saga, which hits theaters in in-your-face 3-D. Greutert's involvement with the "Saw" franchise stretches back to the 2004 original, for which he served as editor; he also edited the second, third, fourth and fifth installments before taking the directorial reins for "Saw VI."
