Severely injured, she will have to tap into the darkest places of the human psyche to not only survive, but to exact her revenge…“

Once again, Steven R. Monroe returns to the director’s chair for the sequel based on a script from Saw IV writer Thomas Fenton and the co-writer of the 2010 film Neil Elman. Co-Stars Joe Absolom (Long Time Dead) and Mary Stockley round out the cast .
