This is a Conceptual Teaser Trailer for the upcoming SAW X film starring Tobin Bell, directed by Kevin Greutert.
The official trailer for SAW XI (2025) has dropped, and it promises to deliver the intense horror and psychological torment that the franchise is known for. Costas Mandylor returns as Detective Mark Hoffman, who is now fully in control of Jigsaw’s deadly legacy following the death of John Kramer. Jenna Ortega joins the cast as one of Hoffman’s latest victims, and from the looks of the trailer, she’s in for a terrifying ride.
The trailer opens with a chilling voiceover from Hoffman, saying, “Every choice has a consequence.” It quickly cuts to Ortega’s character waking up in a dimly lit room, shackled to a chair with a strange, deadly contraption on her arms. The room is filled with cold, industrial machinery—a classic Saw setting. As the timer on the trap begins ticking down, the panic in her eyes is evident, setting the tone for the high-stakes horror that will define the movie. Hoffman watches her on a monitor, coldly observing her struggle, as if to remind the audience that the mastermind behind these traps is more ruthless than ever.
The trailer hints at a deeply personal connection between Hoffman and Ortega’s character, suggesting that she may be more than just another random victim. As she navigates the gruesome traps laid out for her, flashbacks suggest that Hoffman might be punishing her for something specific, or testing her in a way that ties into his own twisted sense of justice. Could she be tied to John Kramer’s past, or is she somehow connected to Hoffman’s personal vendetta?
In a sequence filled with tension, the trailer shows Ortega’s character facing increasingly brutal traps. From a room with spikes closing in, to a deadly maze where only one exit leads to freedom, the stakes are higher than ever. One of the standout moments comes when Hoffman speaks directly to her through a speaker: “Only the strong survive. Will you?” It’s a haunting reminder of the central theme of the Saw franchise—survival comes at a cost, and the choices made in the heat of the moment can lead to unimaginable consequences.
The final shot of the trailer is a close-up of Hoffman’s face, delivering one of Jigsaw’s signature lines: “Live or die, the choice is yours.” It’s clear from this teaser that SAW XI is going to push the boundaries of pain, fear, and psychological horror once again.
