Review Detail

Bobson Duggnutt does it again with another incredibly professional edit! I loved this approach to the Saw series, and Jigsaw in particular. This works very effectively as a "pilot" for the Saw franchise, if one doesn't mind going into the first Saw film with the knowledge that John Kramer is the Jigsaw killer. However, the first movie is still mysterious enough that the twist could be preserved with the right editing.
The Barn is incredibly streamlined, removing the mystery/cop element and focusing on the traps/horror. The story is tight and well paced.

It leaves me wanting to see the rest of the franchise given a similar treatment!
