And now, finally, we have a new Saw film in 2023 that absolutely nails it.Īs soon as it was revealed that Tobin Bell would be reprising his role of John Kramer (aka the Jigsaw), as would Shawnee Smith as OG accomplice Amanda Young, I instantly had hope. I personally wasn’t a fan of either Jigsaw simply didn’t feel like a Saw film, plus there were many aspects of it that didn’t make sense, and Spiral was both extremely predictable and centered around a lackluster, misguided political commentary. Both reboots of the franchise attempt a new spin on Saw, and for different reasons, both miss the mark. Then came Jigsaw and Spiral: From the Book of Saw in 20 respectively. By the time it got to Saw VI and VII, three accomplices had been unveiled and John Kramer himself was long dead. As the Saw franchise went on throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, it became more focused on the gratuitous gore and less focused on the psychological aspect and plot. Whether that’s for better or worse is up for debate, but it’s probably one of the most heavily-discussed types of horror film. The horror film that is not only a standalone masterpiece of its genre, but also essentially pioneered the torture porn subgenre of horror. Believe it or not, it’s been almost 20 years since the original Saw was released.
