The appeal is basically this. The first one is a good psychological thriller in the vein of Se7en with a great twist. The next 1 or 2 manage to keep some of that energy, but as they go on it turns into more of what feels like a CBS police drama with a lot of gore. They also maintain the tradition of every movie ending with a twist, and these get increasingly convoluted as the series goes on. These later movies (except for maybe 6) definitely aren't as good as the first but if you can handle some gore and enjoy a ridiculous plotline and stupid twists they're a lot of fun. I haven't seen Jigsaw or Spiral yet though so idk if they maintain that trend.
Jigsaw is trash and Spiral was disappointing because it had all of the ingredients for an amazing film but messed up the execution terribly. Saw X is being directed by Kevin (of Saw VI) so this is...
Jigsaw is trash and Spiral was disappointing because it had all of the ingredients for an amazing film but messed up the execution terribly.
Saw X is being directed by Kevin (of Saw VI) so this is probably the first good Saw film since VI in 2009.
I’ve only seen The Final Chapter and Jigsaw. I kind of liked Jigsaw. The trailer is pretty sick, and I thought those actors were better than most of the ones they get for the saw series.

I don't think I can sit down and watch them. None of them look great. I saw Final Chapter when I was 13 and was browsing Netflix for any horror movie. I saw Jigsaw cause I had moviepass at the time and the trailer was cool.
Saw I-III are great, and VI is a fan favorite because it rejuvenated the series. IV was meh and V was bad. VII (A.K.A. "The Final Chapter") was a tragedy and offensive. If you aren't a horror fan...
Saw I-III are great, and VI is a fan favorite because it rejuvenated the series. IV was meh and V was bad. VII (A.K.A. "The Final Chapter") was a tragedy and offensive. If you aren't a horror fan then I understand. But they are fun to watch, although I don't know how you'll do having seen so much on YouTube already. I'll say this: you've watched the two worst films in the franchise.
I'm not a horror fan in the specific way it's referred to right now. I don't go watch any horror movie. I don't watch Saw, Conjuring, Insidious, whatever other franchises exist all the time. I...

I'm not a horror fan in the specific way it's referred to right now. I don't go watch any horror movie. I don't watch Saw, Conjuring, Insidious, whatever other franchises exist all the time. I have a friend like that and a lot of the times he goes "nah these movies are bad, but we like them anyway." But I do like horror movies. The Thing, The Exorcist, and A Nightmare on Elm Street are probably up there in my favorites of all time.
LoL. I had a friend ask me this once and I had to explain that since I had watched 5, I kinda felt obliged to watch 6. But I really can't follow the plot much after the first one.

These 9 movies combined have a budget of 100 million and have grossed a billion at boxoffice. It's no brainer they keep making new Saw movies.
Spiral was a disappointment (only 40 million gross on a 20 million budget) that's why they have roped in Saw VI's director, the last decent Saw movie. No one wants to kill the cash cow.
Spiral was so expensive because they had to pay Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. It probably would have made more without a pandemic, but still for a franchise who's budgets are always so low it...
Spiral was so expensive because they had to pay Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. It probably would have made more without a pandemic, but still for a franchise who's budgets are always so low it was a weird gamble.
I didn’t know there were so many. It’s amazing there are more Saw movies now than there are Scream, Exorcist, and A Nightmare on Elmstreet movies. Almost as many as Friday the 13th movies (12 so far)

I swear, I must be the only person who can't watch these because Jigsaw and his motivations make me so incomprehensibly angry. There's no scariness or suspense for me, just rage. I don't know why this specific fictional character does so, but I literally got up and left halfway through the second one because I was just so enraged.
It's weird, no other horror franchise does this to me (neither Terrifier nor Se7en, both of which seems to be the closest thematically to Saw to me, evokes a similar reaction), but it's just sad to see that they're still churning these out.
Jigsaw better go to space and become a cyborg in this one.
I will truly never understand the appeal.

You poor thing. You need to watch them all. At least the first three. Spiral as it’s a spin-off and I like the traps.

This looks so good. I can’t wait for September 29.
TIL these are still coming out. I don't know if I should be impressed or not, but I'll watch it either way.
