A pretty decent idea for a fan film that unfortunately falls at every technical and script hurdle.
Each actor playing the surviving victims/"helped" characters gives a believable performance but none of their characters' stories is fully realised - not that big an ask for what's essentially four short films with a wraparound conceit.
The sound mix is all over the place and the documentary style is poorly served by intertitles that add very little value where a standard voice over might have had greater impact.
Surprise, ill-conceived cameo by co-director Thomas Caxton as "Collin Breaschewell" (a spelling so contrived it can only be a "wily" anagram of something) breaks what little fourth-wall the film offers for no apparent reason.
A curio for Saw completists, but not much more.
