Lionsgate and Fathom Events have announced the Saw theatrical rerelease date for the forthcoming screenings of James Wan’s 2004 survival horror movie.
“Photographer Adam Stanheight and oncologist Lawrence Gordon regain consciousness while chained to pipes at either end of a filthy bathroom,” reads the film’s synopsis. “As the two men realize they’ve been trapped by a sadistic serial killer nicknamed “Jigsaw” and must complete his perverse puzzle to live, flashbacks relate the fates of his previous victims. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon’s wife and young daughter are forced to watch his torture via closed-circuit video.”
