JIGSAW RETURNS AT NUMBER SIX!

Our second brand new entry of the week is the latest instalment in the iconic SAW horror series, SAW X, debuting at Number 6. Set between the events of SAW I and II, John Kramer – sick, desperate and looking for a cure – heads to Mexico for experimental treatment, but finds out the operation is a scam to defraud vulnerable people. As a result, he gains a new purpose and gets back to ‘work’ on his twisted life-or-death traps.

BACK TO REALITY!

That’s all there is for this week. Barbie should stay at the top of the chart next week unless Blue Beetle makes an epic entrance. (Read our review here.) But she also faces competition from Expend4bles, which has hit PVOD this week (Read our review here.) Will she survive this challenge to her throne? Find out next week, so until then…

Whatever you decide, whatever you buy, stay safe, be kind, look after each other, and happy viewing!
