The Scott Tibbs Documentary is a pseudo-documentary set in the Saw franchise, taking place during and after the events of Saw II. It was included in the bonus material of the second movie's home media versions.

Plot[]

After the disappearance of his best friend, Adam Stanheight, rock band leader Scott Tibbs concludes that he is most likely dead and suspects the serial killer Jigsaw behind the crime. To learn more about the killer and his motives, he and his fellow band members decide to film a documentary about him. Shortly after they start shooting, Scott is called by one of his friends and goes to the abandoned Wilson Steel Plant, where the Metropolitan Police Department has captured Jigsaw. However, the latter had managed to escape and had taken a hostage, Detective Eric Matthews.

Thoroughly impressed, Scott becomes obsessed with the killer and continues his research. Upon doing so, he discovers that Jigsaw's real identity is John Kramer. After being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, the latter decided to test other people's will to live by putting them in deadly traps. Scott arranges interviews with a detective and a doctor to learn more about the killer. However, due to his intrusive, almost psychotic behavior, everyone refuses to give him the information he wants.

Eventually, Scott learns that Eric Matthews' son, Daniel Matthews, had been a victim of Jigsaw himself but was released by the killer. Pretending to be his cousin, Scott goes to the Saint Andrews Hospital to interview Daniel. Unfortunately, he is interrupted by a security guard, who expels him from the hospital. His failings anger Scott and worsen his mental state even more. Therefore, he eventually decides to test himself and prove the Jigsaw Killer's theory that surviving a near-death experience could help people learn the value of life.

Shortly afterward, he and his friends build a trap on their own. Scott must shove his hands into a saw blade behind him to survive. However, when the trap's timer starts to count down, Scott's friends take the camera and leave the room. Scott panics and angrily yells at them. Before the timer finally goes off, his friends close the door, leaving his fate unknown.

Production[]

The Scott Tibbs Documentary was entirely filmed as found footage, using the so-called "shaky camera" technique, where parts or the entirety of a movie are filmed with a hand camera. This technique is often used for pseudo-documentaries, especially in the horror genre, to give the film a more realistic style. Shawnee Smith appeared in the documentary, reprising her role as Amanda Young from the Saw films.
