But overall this film was full of plot-holes, the acting was atrocious, the ending made no sense and the games have lost the character of those in the original films.
A number of things just kept annoying me and took me right out of the film (one minute Logan is apologising to his daughter and her babysitter for another late night, the next he is heading to the pub?!, Logan takes the bullet out of Edgar's body - but Edgar had been in a coma for days, why was the bullet not taken out of his body while he was in hospital?!, along with the usual horror movie illogical actions trope).
This film added nothing to the Saw series, if anything it urinates over its corpse, and added nothing to my life.

David McK (3663 KP) rated Playing with Fire (Skulduggery Pleasant, #2) in Books
Nov 9, 2025
The second in Derek Landy's 'Skulduggery Pleasant' series (after Skulduggery Pleasant), this - for large part - feels juvenile, very much aimed towards a younger audience.
And then we get short, sudden shocks of pure body horror, enough to give (I imagine) the more sensitive young reader nightmares.
So, if it was a movie, large parts PG, maybe, with certain other sections more like an 18.
Anyway, knowing that (and with that in mind), it's enjoyable enough, continuing on the story of Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain that was started in the previous novel, with plenty of plot threads left hanging open for the sequels.
