The first trailer has been released for Jigsaw, the upcoming spin-off to the hit horror franchise launched in 2004 with Saw.
It's the first new film in the series since 2010's Saw 3D, the seventh entry, and picks up ten years from the death of John Kramer, also known as Jigsaw.
The new sequel sees bodies with grisly injuries start turning up around the city, leading investigators to fear a copycat with a new take on Jigsaw's signature killing style.
Whoever the new killer is, the rules remain the same: "Live or die, the choice is yours," intones a menacing recorded voice.
Jigsaw is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, and produced by Mark Burg, Gregg Hoffman and Oren Koules, who have produced every Saw movie.
The franchise has pulled in US$873 million (NZ$1.2 billion) at the worldwide box office to date.
Jigsaw will be released in October.
