I didn’t really want to imagine Saw IV actually existed, but it apparently does, with Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen and Tobin Bell all returning… the latter maybe in cameo form? At any rate, an image from the film has released, of a woman sitting in a chair that can’t be that good for the back, rocking one of those animal masks — all steeped in shadow, naturally. The only interesting thing is that if you look closely, there appears to be a gun pointed at her head.

Kudos to LionsGate for teasing this one out. Still, I think David Morgan at Filmwad pretty much hit the nail on the head with his comments. Continuing director Darren Lynn Bousman — whom I’ve interviewed, and stuck me as a nice guy — has pretty much hit the gravy train with this series.
