Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Jonas Åkerlund's second narrative feature after directing Madonna and Beyoncé music videos; the $20M budget barely made back $2M worldwide.
Released in the dying days of the torture-porn era, this tried to add 'biblical depth' to the Saw formula and accidentally created a perfect time capsule of 2009's desperate edginess.
