To celebrate the premiere of Saw X, we're looking back at all of the Saw movies and ranking them from worst to best.
This weekend, Saw X is out in theaters and the latest sequel is keeping the legacy of Jigsaw alive. Or we could call it a “midquel” if you prefer, because the film’s story is set between Saw and Saw II. Since the first movie’s debut in 2004, Saw has proven to be one of the most resilient and best franchises in horror alongside The Conjuring and Insidious. Not even killing off the main character has prevented Lionsgate from revisiting Jigsaw and his apprentices again and again.
It’s also really easy to hate every single one of the Jigsaw victims in this movie, including Brit , Mallick , and Luba . The key lesson here is that if the filmmakers want the audience to care for the people who are being “tested,” then there has to be some shred of decency in these characters for viewers to latch on to. Instead, there was very little humanity to be found in this film.9.
Detective Zeke Banks has a connection to the Jigsaw copycat, even if he doesn’t realize it immediately. It concerns the tainted legacy of Zeke’s father, Marcus Banks , who was also a cop, and the culture of police corruption that extends to the present. The copycat killer is attempting to scare the police straight by eliminating the most corrupt members of the force in increasingly brutal ways. The real Jigsaw would be proud.
Aside from Hoffman’s rampage, the primary story of this film belongs to Bobby Dagen , a man who found fame and fortune after surviving one of Jigsaw’s traps. Or so Bobby led everyone to believe. To punish Bobby for his lies, Hoffman puts him through a series of even more brutal tests than the ones he made up. And if Bobby fails, his wife, Joyce , will pay the ultimate price.4.
