Horror Weekly News: SAW X is coming soon. Eva Green stars in fantasy horror movie NOCEBO

 

Remember the name John Kramer? How about Jigsaw Killer? Now does the name seem familiar? 

The Jigsaw Killer was the main antagonist in the SAW franchise. While the character dies in the third part, he is mentioned in the subsequent sequels and seen in flashbacks. 

Even after his death, John Kramer continued to play his “games” and challenging the police detectives. He has apprentices who continued his work and several people influenced by Jigsaw’s ideologies. That is how JIGSAW was kept alive in the franchise. 

Now that SAW X has been announced, will we see the return of the Jigsaw Killer in any form? 

So far the actor who played the Jigsaw Killer, Tobin Bell has not confirmed his return to the franchise. He also didn’t return to the previous movie, SPIRAL, although the actor has stated he is open to a spinoff of the movie that could be based on Billy the Puppet. 

The movie script for SAW X was completed on December 21st and the movie is reportedly slated for a release in October 2023. 

In other news…

Eva Green stars in a brand new horror thriller movie titled NOCEBO. 

The actress plays a fashion designer who is diagnosed with an illness that the doctors cannot cure. Desperate for relief, Christine, Eva’s character, lets in a caregiver who appears out of nowhere. Her methods are unorthodox, yet they manage to cure at least some of Christine’s side effects. 

Encouraged by this, Christine lets the caregiver into her family not realizing the caregiver has sinister intentions. Or does she? 

Considering the movie is titled NOCEBO, the opposite of the word placebo, we can deduce that Christine isn’t really going to recover from her ailment soon. After all, Nocebo means getting negative effects from treatment because the patient has expected a negative outcome. 

We will just have to see how Christine manages to save herself. 

The movie will release on November 4th and will be available for streaming on November 22nd. 

The movie also stars Mark Strong and Chai Fonacier.
