10 Maddening Horror Movie Plot Holes

Jigsaw, the pleasantly surprising Saw reboot, introduced a new villain: Logan Nelson, who was the very first Jigsaw apprentice and was a player in Jigsaw's first game ten years earlier, in which five people were put through a group of sadistic tests at a pig farm.

In Jigsaw, Logan gets revenge on Detective Halloran, a corrupt officer who'd let several criminals go, including the killer of Logan's wife. Logan places three criminals from Halloran's cases in traps from the game he was in; following their deaths (which mirror those of the first three victims in the original game), he places their bodies around the city and plants evidence that leads Halloran to the farm. Logan places himself and Halloran (acting as players four and five) in another test that ends in Halloran's death and framing as a new Jigsaw killer.

Logan's villainous reveal works, but if you think about his plan too much, it might break the entire film for you. Crucially, how did the victims in Logan's game die in exactly the same way as those in the earlier game? It would've been completely different with three players instead of five.

Logan's plan was generally terrible, since it left so much to chance and was needlessly convoluted; what was the point of recreating that earlier game at all? Why not just do a new game? If Logan wants to become the new Jigsaw, he'll have to polish up his schemes a bit.
