~ Anna lying about the loss of her child. |
Anna is a major antagonist of the 2017 horror film Jigsaw, the eighth installment of the Saw franchise.
She's one of five test subjects in Jigsaw's game, as she and her husband Matthew were two of John Kramer's next-door neighbors before a terrible tragedy struck.
She was portrayed by Laura Vandervoort.
What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]
- She screamed at and murdered her own child, a baby, by smothering it with a pillow in the crib just for getting on her nerves by crying. She then framed Matthew, her own husband, for it by placing the baby's corpse on the bed next to him while he was sleeping, thus driving him to commit suicide out of guilt by hanging himself while in a mental hospital.
- Despite her actions towards her own family, she hypocritically berates Ryan as a "selfish sonuvabitch" for killing Carly in what was clearly justified self-defense. She also scolds John for his lack of compassion just for putting her in the game.
- Unlike Ryan, Logan and Halloran, Anna never takes even an ounce of responsibility for her actions at any point in the film out of cowardice and instead just keeps insisting that Matthew killed her baby, even after Jigsaw calls her out.
- She tries to kill Ryan with a shotgun with only one bullet, hoping that Jigsaw will free her afterwards despite the former saving her life twice before (first by injecting a reluctant Carly with needles in the Chain Hangers and second by amputating his own leg to open the Grain Silo Trap).
- Worse yet, the key to unlock Ryan's shackle was meticulously placed inside the shell and thus got destroyed when Anna fired the gun. Because of this, Ryan was unable to escape and died from dehydration and/or blood loss afterwards.
- While introduced as a competent survivor who tried to help her fellow prisoners traverse Jigsaw's game (even scolding Ryan for killing Carly), her "redeeming" qualities become dismissible by the time she's revealed as a cowardly, manipulative baby killer, and because of that, her death is played purely for satisfaction.
