The Saw Timeline | Horror History

[@PupRiku]

People often assume many sequels/prequels mean a timeline which gets confusing and ends up in multiple timelines which don't connect... Saw is unbelievable at keeping it flowing considering the amount of flashbacks etc they have. It's absolutely crazy how well thought out it all is, no wonder it's probably my favourite series.

[@YND-Honcho]

I couldn’t agree more!!!

[@emiliorodarte4408]

The difference between other horror franchises is that they have the same producers.

[@Leonard_Wolf_2056]

It's actually kind of sad because none of this was planned during saw 1 and it had a domino effect(each movie suddenly having an excuse to exist explained in that movie). Not to mention the amount of inconsistencies, re-writes and inconsistencies. Oh, and while writing was generally competently written, the genre changed much. Murder mystery(thriller) with puzzles to torture p0rn.

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

It was always my impression that Amanda was framed by Hoffman for the inescapable traps. They even said in the movie that Amanda couldn’t have lifted Det Kerry into the angel trap.

[@Gawlakman]

Hoffman made inescapable traps too, they all did. The only jigsaw apprentice who actually followed the rules and lived by John’s ideals about people getting a second chance at life if they win is Gordon I think because he didn’t sabotage traps for his sick pleasure or personal gain.

@CZsWorld It was because of the first Saw timeline video you did that finally got me hooked into watching every film in the franchise. Alot of the details in your video helped me understand so much stuff i missed or didnt get. Never had interest in watching the SAW movies bc it looked like a hostel rip off but man i was wrong! Your deep dive and explanation of John Kramer and his backstory peeked my interest & im so glad it did now that SAW X is coming soon.

[@minrinstanis]

John Kramer was born on September 3, 1953. Also, Logan still got into his game after returning from the war, in my opinion, somewhere in the summer of 2005, and at the same time the "10 years ago" is perfect. Also, I think that the events of Spiral take place in 2019, not in 2021, as this is the year when the film was shot.

[@coleeg69]

I love how everything is connected! The twists are great, but the gore is a little much

[@ryanspotato3117]

I noticed in the first Saw Movie that Lawrence's phone in the bathroom is set at September 10th, 2001 at 12 PM. While I do believe the time itself may be an error, I looked into the date a bit further. I also looked at the newspaper clipping with Seth Baxter's Murder in it. It was dated June 11th, but June 11th was also labeled Monday. The most recent Monday before this Saw Film was made was 2001. Therefore, Seth Baxter's Murder, the beginning of Hoffman's Apprenticeship, and the games with Paul, Other Mark, and Amanda took place in a matter of weeks, possibly just days. In 2001, not 2004.

[@esca3119]

What will always interest me the most is how, aside from the crazy life ending games, John was a stand-up guy. He just wanted to help people, building low income housing and wanting people to have good lives. It's crazy what traumatic experiences can do to a person.

[@isabellavendel8838]

I'd also argue that, although he is certainly a twisted psycho, he has some good intentions with his traps, to rehabilitate people and make them value their lives higher, so that they can live better lives, which is why he insists his games always are winnable, he's not just punishing people for their mistakes. He just has an absolutely horrible, unfair way of doing it.

John Kramer is one of the most hypocritical murders ever, I swear. Even just things like him not wanting Logan to die because of "an honest mistake" when the whole reason he got put into the game was because he made a mistake.

[@doperagu8471]

Yeah but his whole "premise" is getting these people to "win" their life back. If he didn't even get a chance, then it's totally in line with Jigsaw's ideology to give him another chance since he never actually got a chance to fight for his life in the initial game. Either way, it doesn't seem that hypocritical to me

[@ByAzuraByAzuraByAzura]

@@doperagu8471 Bro in the very first movie he involves an innocent child and mother in the game to use against Gordon plus forced Zepp to play when he never did anything. Like seriously Zepp died just cause he didn't have a better job position at the hospital and didn't like how cold the Doctors were to the patients. Zepp died because he had empathy for patients and shit talked Doctors basically lmao. He contradicts his ideology 24/7 lets be honest here. In Saw 10 he freaks because a kid got involved in his game because 'he's innocent' yet in other movies he traumatizes children by using them as leverage to get their parents to play. He hurts and even kills innocent people as a punishment against the ones being tested in some movies. It's a really inconsistent if not hypocritical mindset he has. One reason he tests someone is the same reason he won't in another movie.

[@ByAzuraByAzuraByAzura]

@@doperagu8471 I understand it's just a movie but it's extremely hypocritical he saved Logan over a mistake when in past traps and tests the whole reason half his victims die can be boiled down to mistakes too. I don't think his ideas are supposed to be consistent or logical, he's a fruit loop.

I said: "like an electric wire". The nurse laughed, actually asked the doctor but sadly it's not possible. On the way to the room, I told that nurse that I watch too many horror movies. Turns out she loves them too. Instantly started talking about SAW X and I told her that it was between 1 and 2 but she didn't know that. So I told her about What the Horror and about the timeline in this video. She actually wrote down CZsworld and What the Horror to check you both out.

The prototype Barn Game, the Nerve Gas House, and plans to punish William Easton and Robert Dagan always get my “poetic/grim but oddly fitting justice” sensors tingling.

Regarding the October 06 toe tag on Kramer, in extremely sensitive homicide cases bodies are often put on ice until more evidence can be gathered in order to properly understand the evidence displayed by the body(ies).

I just saw SAW X in theaters and enjoyed every second of it. Without trying to spoil anything, I believe this gave an engaging chapter in John Kramer's life and paid homage to the original series so well. Although I've watched Saw since the beginning and was familiar with twists, Saw X still manages to pull off surprising twists. Please note SAW X has a mid-credits scene that I recommend staying to watch as well. Unfortunately, the theater where I saw this was nearly empty. I only saw five other people in it. Although an afternoon showing, weekends were usually peak times for theaters though many might've watched Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie instead when it debuted alongside SAW X. I hope any who are able will watch SAW X in theaters.

Also, who actually carries out John's legacy, because John punished Amanda and Hoffman because they cheated on their games by making them unwinnable or just straight up killing people? Lastly, is it possible the two remaining apprentices know each other personally due to the closeness in the timeline to knowing/working with John Kramer?

I think that Castor Mandylor was the perfect choice as the main villian after John's death,(he was so good) my first thought was, "if anyone has the will to chew through his own foot to survive, it's Hoffman, dude is a total savage" I was rooting for him to escape & keep the work going, & I have two question, who is the two that helped Dr. Gordon jump Hoffman (my guess is either, Brad & Ryan, or Adam & Logan) & if Dr. Gordon will continue Jigsaw's work🤔🤷

The dude leftover from the first movie didn't die in that room. If you watch when they go into the bathroom in later movies the shackle is on the other leg. So this means someone either unshackled him and then put it back on on the other leg or it's someone else and wanted you to think that he died there.

I may have some solutions for some empty blanks you left in. 1. In the first game while Adam was kidnapped by Amanda, Gordon was kidnapped by Zepp. I believe that Zepp would've done it because he's poisoned and desperate for the antidote. 2. When Eric is left for dead, I believe it's Hoffman who saves him, for John would've probably been too weak from Eric's brutality to do it himself. 3. As for how Hoffman got tied up for Rigg's game, I suggest Art Blank was the one who put him in the chair, for I suppose the same reason why Zepp kidnapped Gordon(except instead of poison it was the spine piercer), and I couldn't really see Hoffman tying himself up. 4. You sorta solved this one, but I suppose the incorrect date on John's autopsy tag was because at the time, the crew probably didn't have a concrete plan as for what the date in the timeline would've been.

Fun fact, one of the cellphone's in Saw 1 shows the date to be 9/10/2001, so the following day won't be a fun one either for Dr. Gordon.
