Jigsaw Will Call Your Friends & Family

In preparation for the theater release of Saw V, Lionsgate has provided its fans with the means to scare everyone they know silly. At the website saw5.varitalk.com, you can have Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) send a message either via phone or e-mail. The gimmick has been used before, most recently with New Line Cinema’s Snakes on a Plane. However, this is just a bit more scary, considering Jigsaw actually says both your friend’s name, as well as yours. The message he relays is quite freaky, but keep in mind there are certain times of day the system will deliver the message. If you’re hoping to give your friend a huge scare in the middle of the night, you’re out of luck. The system will refuse to send the mail until day light. Nevertheless, if the tool remains up until the movies release, I can see a few people having fun with this after watching the premiere.
