‘Jigsaw’ After-Credits Scene: Is There A Final Scene That Reveals The Real Killer And Explains Twist Ending?

Those who see Jigsaw will likely wonder if there’s an after-credits scene that might reveal the real killer and shed some light on the film’s twist ending.

For those who haven’t bothered to stay until the very end of a movie, the after-credits scene (also known as a credit cookie, stinger, or egg) is a final scene that plays after all the credits have stopped rolling. They usually exist to add a final joke in comedies or introduce a new character or plot point in movies that are part of a series, like the Marvel movies.

In horror/suspense movies, this after-credits scene can be used to shed some light on a twist ending — which is exactly what viewers will find at the end of Jigsaw.

Jigsaw picks up the Saw franchise a decade after the death of the Jigsaw serial killer, with new copycat murders popping up. It wasn’t clear beforehand if the movie had an after-credits scene, as it was not screened for critics, but early viewings have shed some light on what comes at the very end.

The answer? Nothing. Early reports indicate that there is no after-credits scene in Jigsaw — as there were none in any of the other Saw movies — but there are still plenty of places to turn for hints on the twist ending. Screen Rant breaks down the surprise ending, including the identity of the killer.

There will likely be a big audience waiting to see if there is an after-credits scene in Jigsaw. The movie follows the popular Saw franchise that has amassed a large and devoted fan base, so comes with a built-in audience. Despite a spate of other horror fare at the box office in the final days before Halloween — from the comedic Boo 2! A Madea Halloween to the frightening Groundhog Day-styled Happy Death Day — experts predict that Jigsaw will win the weekend box office total with $20 million or more, The Hollywood Reporter noted.
