Lionsgate just premiered the first teaser trailer for David Hackl's upcoming "Saw V" at the San Diego Comic-Con. It's about 42 seconds long and doesn't show much at all, but it should get fans of the franchise pretty excited about the film's Oct. 24 release date.

Now that Jigsaw is dead, somebody else will carry on his legacy. Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan wrote the script. Julie Benz, Costas Mandylor, Meagan Good, Tobin Bell and Scott Patterson star. Enjoy the sneak peek below. What do you think? Already like what you see?
