Saw VIstarts just a few days after the events of Saw V. John Kramer finds out and recruits Hoffman to his cause.


PRE- SAW FLASHBACK: We learn the trap that opens this film, a gigantic pendulum that cuts convicted murderer Seth Baxter ( Joris Karsky) in half, was actually created solely by Hoffman and made to look like a Jigsaw killing. Saw V picks up very shortly after the events of Saw IV and the death of John Kramer. Soon after, Cecil became Jigsaw's very first victim. PRE- SAW FLASHBACKS: In Saw IV, we learn that an accident at a rehab clinic caused by an addict named Cecil Adams ( Billy Otis) caused John Kramer's wife, Jill Tuck ( Betsy Russell), to miscarriage. In arguably the franchise's wildest switcheroo, Saw III and Saw IV happen at the same time, six months after Saw II.
