QDo the "Saw" movies stem from a book?
ANo. The Saw series of movies -- Saw (2004) Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), and Saw 3D (2010) -- all stem from an original screenplay by Australian screenwriters Leigh Whannell and James Wan (story). The screenplay for Saw IV was co-written by American screenwriters Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstand, and Thomas Fenton.
QDo we find out what happens to Jeff's daughter?
AAt the end of Saw III, it was revealed that Jigsaw had kidnapped Jeff's daughter Corbett. This leads into Saw IV, where Jeff is screaming "Where is my daughter" before he is shot by agent Strahm. Hoffman is seen (chronologically prior to that) with a black teddy bear. When asked if he was married, he responds "I'm not. It's a short story, believe me." This teddy bear is more than likely for Jeff's daughter, a hint that Hoffman knows where she is. It is important to remember that, at the end of Saw III, Jigsaw stated that he is the only one who knows where she is. In the original script, however, after Hoffman locks Strahm in the room with the bodies of Jigsaw, Lynn, Jeff, and Amanda, he calls the police on the cellphone and tells them to get here. When they do, Hoffman emerges from the lair with Corbett and says that he saved her. However, this scene is not shown in Saw IV. It's possible that Hoffman either saw John hid the girl or figured out where she was, or that Jigsaw was lying when he said he was the only one who knew where she was.
QIs the reason John became Jigsaw finally explained in this movie?
AYes, in part. We discover in flashbacks that Jill was pregnant with John's child, until Cecil, (Billy Otis), a patient from her drug addiction treatment clinic, caused her to have a miscarriage by accidentally slamming a door into her abdomen during a robbery. This is part of what leads John into becoming Jigsaw (the other part being surviving what should have been a fatal car accident after he was diagnosed with cancer). His anger turns psychopathic. Cecil actually plays Jigsaw's first game, where he has to push his face into some knives in order to release himself from a chair. If he remains in the chair, he will bleed to death from the knives cutting into his wrists. When Cecil makes it out of the chair alive, due the chair breaking, he immediately attacks Jigsaw with one of the knives. Jigsaw simply steps aside and lets him fall into a cage of razor wires. Cecil probably ends up bleeding to death, although this is neither shown nor confirmed.
