Hoffman was seemingly left to die at the hands of Dr. Lawrence Gordon Cary Elwes at the end of Saw 7: The Final Chapter , but as every veteran horror fan knows, if someone doesn't die onscreen, there's always a chance they could be revealed to have survived their predicament. Hoffman was shown to be extremely smart, calculating, and resourceful, so it's not at all hard to imagine him emerging from Gordon's seemingly inescapable trap.
He already managed to survive after John's wife Jill Tuck caused his face to get snapped in half with the infamous reverse bear trap. While Hoffman doesn't necessarily need to be Spiral: From the Book of Saw 's main villain, he very well could be, as he certainly ended up on bad terms with his former department.
The killer could also have a connection to or an old beef with Hoffman, which would likely figure into why they hate cops enough to target them for death. Michael Kennedy is an avid movie and TV fan that's been working for Screen Rant in various capacities since John Kramer found out about what Hoffman had done and punished him by putting him in a trap of his own.
Kramer kept a watchful eye on her, and eventually brought her in to his inner circle as an apprentice. While Amanda helped him successfully pull off a series of traps, she ultimately was never able to become a successor to John Kramer. Shortly afterwards, Kramer, who was bedridden from the cancer and had set Hoffman up as his successor, was killed by Jeff in a final act of vengeance Saw III.
Because, you know, Jigsaw is really crafty. Once Kramer became more and more distant from her, Jill began to suspect he was a killer after Cecil was found dead. Jill urged Kramer over and over to stop his work, but on his death bed he told her his work would continue after he died. Against all odds, Hoffman found a way to get out of the trap, despite a massive injury he sustained in the process. Hoffman then hunted Jill down and killed her with the same trap she administered to him.
Lawrence Gordon Cary Elwes. He was one of the first on screen test subjects of the Saw films. The Saw films feature an iconic villain, John Kramer , who designs deadly games for his victims that often result in their horrific death.
But John at least makes his traps survivable -- except for a few minor plot holes -- even though escaping the traps is often extremely painful and, as he says, must come at a cost. So while John is effectively the villain of the Saw movies, his apprentices Amanda Young and Mark Hoffman are actually worse than him. John creates two monsters while they are under his tutelage. John sees these traps as an opportunity for his victims to change.
In contrast, Amanda and Mark view them as fair consequences for the victim's actions. Both Mark and Amanda make John's signature traps unescapable, despite the premise that there is, in fact, a solution to them. They set their victims up to fail, but always give them hope that they may survive.
This is absolutely sinister and far from what John Kramer believed in. John's first apprentice, Amanda Young, started off as one of his victims. Back then Mandylor was playing an unnamed coroner, but later, in Saw IV would happen to be known like Mark Hoffman, in honor to the producer.
Detective Hoffman is one of the favorite characters of the fans of the SAW saga , especially of women of many ages. Many fanfics, videos, and fanarts have been created in his honor. Hoffman is said to be the sexiest killer in horror movies. We see him for the first time in the appraisal of the trap of Troy, a man who was killed by a bomb in an abandoned kindergarten and who was chained by skin all over his body. Kerry theorizes that it is not a Jigsaw trap, as the living room door was closed and Jigsaw's pattern is not to kill for the sake of killing, but to leave people the possibility of living or not.
Hoffman unwittingly picks up a shackle left over from the explosion. Hoffman is actually Jigsaw's apprentice along with Amanda. Hoffman keeps Eric alive at Amanda's expense on Jigsaw's orders. Hoffman and Amanda place Kerry in the Angel Trap and hang a vial of acid and a key at his side.
Upon awakening, a moment after the key was deposited, Kerry watches in terror a video of Jigsaw explaining what to do. Kerry succeeds, but Amanda had modified the trap so that Kerry couldn't get out, so Kerry dies. Without his secret identity yet being revealed, Hoffman investigates with Rigg and his troops the grave where Kerry had died four days earlier.
Rigg is devastated when he sees his friend's corpse covered in rats. Hoffman notices that Strahm is getting too close to the truth but says nothing and later, at the police station, recommends that Rigg go home.
While Amanda is in charge of kidnapping Lynn Denlon at the hospital. Finally, he returns to the sewers, in the foundations of the gas house, where he was keeping Eric alive, takes him to the final part of Rigg's trap, where he prepares everything for the trap and is "tied up" pretending to be another victim of the game.
Then, using a remote control that he has hidden, he turns on intense lights towards Eric to wake him up and taking advantage of the fact that Eric does not know who was his captor, he pretends that he does not know where they are either. After a while Art Blank arrives who has passed his first test killing Trevor and has a wound in his mouth, a product of the trap he lived. Eric questions him about his identity, but Art doesn't answer him.
After many struggles and deceptions that Eric tries to take effect to attack Art, he reveals that he is not the bad guy, that he is a victim like him and his partner Hoffman and advises him to live until the clock on the wall reaches 0, he also gives him a pistol of which Eric does not know its end. An hour and twenty minutes later, Rigg arrives at the building and searches for Eric and Hoffman. Art sees it through the monitor on a desk and reveals that he has a device that will kill him when the clock reaches 0.
But for that not to happen, he simply has to press a button that will stop the device and release Eric's chain. Of course, if you do it before the clock reaches 0, the device will kill you.
Rigg's real test, even if he doesn't know it, is ironically not going through the door to save Eric, he just has to stay there. But his obsession does not allow him to wait around without knowing the torture his friends go through.
Eric shoots Rigg before he enters, but anyway, his body opens the door in the fall. Art presses the button, the device stops and Eric's chain is released, but Eric's head has been crushed by two large blocks of ice, thanks to a device attached to the door that Rigg opened. Hoffman was supposed to be electrocuted to death after Rigg failed his test, so he doesn't move to avoid arousing suspicion. Art and Rigg are sore from the gunshots, and insult each other. Art is going to take out a tape that Jigsaw left for Rigg if he missed, but Rigg thinks he's going to take out a gun and shoots him killing him.
The tape reveals to him that the only thing he had to do was: nothing, but that his obsession with saving everyone and which in turn prevented him from making the right decisions in life resulted in the death of Eric and supposedly Hoffman.
In that instant, Hoffman is "unleashed", revealed to Rigg as Jigsaw's accomplice and before his stunned gaze,. He then heads to another room where Jigsaw, Jeff, Amanda and Lynn are dead since the Room is in the same refrigerator as Jigsaw's lair.
