a big issue i have with this film is how it's filmed. Rather than being filmed on 35mm film like the previous movies, it's done digitally so it looks too clean and it doesn't have that gritty grungy look

Let me say this comment was harrowing as a new viewer of the series. Now having seen the Chris rock saw, it feels like I had an encounter with an ancient haruspex telling me of Pompeii and my brain denying it for its own sanity only to be faced with the foreshadowed cataclysm the following week. Truly bizarre. You genuinely made me question if I knew a DIFFERENT Chris Rock 💯.

[@SamuelMcAlpin-ft3uu]

Jigsaw is by no means my favorite Saw film and is definitely VERY flawed, but I still feel it’s a bit underrated. The concept of Jigsaw’s philosophies and methods living on through the Jigsaw Rules website provides a good way for the series to continue once Tobin Bell is no longer with us, and while most of the traps aren’t spectacular, I love the Shotgun Keys trap, with which a little editing I think could’ve been a spectacular Saw short film all on its own. It’s also one of the best-looking Saw films cinematography-wise, and I liked the gradual shift of the audience’s sympathies from Anna to Ryan as it’s revealed what a monster she truly is.

[@ripdalt]

y'know i'd probably agree, though i wish it had some sort of character to it to make it stand out. it all feels very washed out and bland. even spiral had some moments of lovely color palettes. the ideas and intent were there, but it just comes up short execution wise for me

[@SamuelMcAlpin-ft3uu]

I get that. I definitely had much the same problem with this film that I did with Saw 3D in that they had a lot of good ideas without the best execution. It’s still enjoyable enough for me that it falls more towards the middle of any ranking of the films for me.

[@grandmasgopnik9642]

I’m interested to watch this film for the first time with both these perspectives 😊

[@jackal0p]

you make a good point about anna being a monster. it's rare in media for a woman to be an unabashedly horrible person

[@grandmasgopnik9642]

@@SamuelMcAlpin-ft3uu ok I finished it. I really loved Anna’s character and was sad how they portrayed her. So a few things. I think they were going for PPD and shaken baby syndrome but just didn’t do a fabulous job at portraying how this type of abuse happens 😓. Unfortunately after the delivery of a child PPD can happen and it can not only cause the detachment of the person from the partner but to the child and of course it’s very stigmatized because ‘good mommies loves their baby 🥰’ and obviously experiencing the chemical imbalance makes that difficult. It also makes child rearing tasks more challenging 😥 and can lead to a higher instance of shaken baby syndrome or neglect which is why supporting those with PPD is so important. Still it’s not uncommon even those diagnosed with PPD to be unsupported through their difficulties due to the stigma and just generally because being a new parent is often not supported with paternal leave or other support systems. Basically unless you’re rich, have healthcare and good support systems in place already you’re already at risk before you have PPD, add it to the mix you are more at risk. If you have a history of being abused, neglected as a child, or domestic violence it also becomes more of a risk. When it happens to people like this they are not mildly annoyed yelling like I used to in an apartment complex at my neighbor screaming at 3 am, it’s a full on meltdown usually. Whenever an infant cries it’s not just activating an annoying response it’s activating essentially a fight or flight response…constantly. I haven’t done it but I can understand why it happens for sure 😅 after several months of crying for hours and hours with no sleep and no help. I personally laid my baby cousin who was screaming still in the crib because I was afraid I was gonna lose it and literally walked outside for so long until I walked into a river like a few mile away it got you doing weird shit dude. So when she screams at the baby to just shut up and then? Smothers it? It seems weird. Most the time people drug them, give them whiskey, shake them, abuse them etc to make them quiet down when they get to that point. I guess it doesn’t seem like she’s that distressed, tired or detached. Idk people in that space are FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. I mean makes sense to be able to hurt your own child. Also when she blames it on the husband I mean maybe it different elsewhere but in my family I’ve unfortunately had an infant die in that exact way where they were smothered to death in bed and uh the police didn’t arrest anyone 😥. It was an accident. I still think the husband could have hung him self in the same way either way in fact I think blaming it on him would have been more dubious in that way because it would have been necessary as she could have claimed to rolled over onto the child instead since there would be no legal ramifications only moral ones. Now if she is indeed supposed to be a woman with PPD and while it usually resolved months after birth depending on support and treatment of course if untreated it can last years when it would resolve she would feel that attachment return. The attachment to her now dead partner and her dead infant would be back and then she would be slammed with immense guilt, loss, shame and unimaginable pain. I imagine she would likely have to either dissociate or repress the events as a response. That would make her confession the most heart wrenching as through the games she would continue being the one with the most agency and compassion shown to the others while genuinely being unable to confess until she knew her own sins. It would also fit the spirit of the game well too (and jigsaws sort of black and white mentality as he disregards mental health concerns) as when John jogs her memory she would finally be able to confess her sins in a more explosive catharsis which if you have ever had repressed memories return it’s quite an intense experience, it can cause panic attacks, flashbacks and generally unpleasant feelings that would truly be a stark contrast to Ryan’s rather dull denial to the end (tbh idk how he is even guilty aside from generally being a weenie 🤷‍♂️). I think portraying a PPD character whose life falls to pieces in an actually sympathetic light would be cool. Instead they did what most people stigmatize ppd and shaken baby parents to be. Evil sons of bitches who literally get fed up like 3 times and decided alright enough is enough I need my beauty sleep 🙄 rip u baby 💀 alright let’s get rid of hubby too 😏 and the minute they had a gun they’ll shoot you dead 😅. I will say as it stands I actually really liked it. I liked the ones where Hoffman takes over too though 😅 idk 🤷‍♂️ if that helps others sort accordingly. I mean finally weaponizing that over burnt coffee? ☕️ fuck yeah dude 👌

Ya gotta admit, Logan has probably the BEST line of this movie. "You have a choice: Scream. Or don't." The way he delivers it while sounding sooo ice cold and terrifying, it just makes it soooo cool. Also, am I the only one who wonders where John Kramer's body actually DID end up? Since his grave was empty and replaced with Edgar, where did Logan put John's body? Also also, how the hell did he dig up the casket and switch the bodies without leaving a trace on the ground? Like if you dig up a grave, or any patch of ground, it's gonna show that something disturbed it. Unless Logan called in a favor from David Copperfield or Penn & Teller, I can't think of any way to pull that trick off.

[@TakeYourChallenge]

The only way I could think off is to dig at it from the side from somewhere else? But I highly doubt they thought anyone would noticed the obvious undug gravesite and just didn't think of it

[@ripdalt]

enter through the adjacent mausoleum (not on screen, but trust me, it's there) and dig a tunnel underneath straight to the casket

[@wayneigoe6722]

@@ripdalt Okay, but that still doesn't really hold up... because then he'd have to make the tunnel big enough to get to the casket, make enough space to OPEN the casket, take John out, put Edgar in, and then get back through the tunnel all without causing a cave-in or suffocating... You're basically asking him to dig a cartoon style prisom escape tunnel in the span of maybe a day or two. And not be noticed. El Chapo had his men dig him tunnel from his prison cell to the outside and even with proper tools and gear, it took them MONTHS to do that.

Anna's backstory shocked me at first when I first see it, but the Saw series is also not afraid of when it comes to it twists, like the series giving us the bird and said, "Nope" Either we like the twist or not in any of the saw movies, I like it, but maybe make some mistakes

[@ripdalt]

that moment came so out of nowhere, it was so shocking. like obviously i didn't believe it was her husbands fault, but to SHOW IT?

[@SariahCupp-lx3xd]

@ripdalt right!?, Anna is one of the character, who knew what is going on, and the movie went complete 180 to change her at the end of why she is being tested and I'm also not sure why John didn't stop it, sense he is living next to Anna and her husband, and I feel like he should have knock on the door and asked them what's wrong

[@richardtheactor]

I think you missed the part where Logan completely bastardized John's message. Well, John did too, to a point. Meanwhile, Lawrence is the true heir to Jigsaw, taking the core message and importance of rebirth and only ever providing aid to games that had the chance to save someone. Lawrence understood John's message the best.

[@ripdalt]

i think logan does a _fine enough_ job of carrying on john's legacy, but i feel like i compare him too heavily to amanda and hoffman, to his own benefit. hoffman absolutely disregarded john's teachings, and amanda went scorched earth before her end, so in comparison, logan's looking pretty good lmao

[@richardtheactor]

@@ripdalt I feel that's fair, they were the apprentices with the most focus, but even when looked at through that lens, Logan is just as bad as Hoffman, maybe worse. He recreated a game and threw "similar enough people" into it to exact revenge, and if we're to believe things went the same way, may have rigged them like Amanda. He's both of their worst qualities, and all of John's failures, combined. Interesting character, hard ass final line, should not be seen in the same light as Lawrence.

It’s not good for a Saw movie, but it’s alright when you don’t compare it to the other Saw movies. (Not including Spiral, Spiral is the bane of my existence)

Jigsaw sits just above 4 and 7 for me. I am currently doing a big rewatch because I had watched Jigsaw on a whim on eday and wanted to look back. It's not great, I don't remember a single character's name, I already knew the 'twist' (what there was of it) and the traps were mostly... fine I guess. But even with all that going against it, just watching flash backs while secrets are revealed and Hello Zepp is playing in the last scene of the movie still puts me back in the mid 2000's going to the theater to see the new saw and being mind blown. I honestly wonder if the franchise would have 10 installments if they didn't have Hello Zepp as a theme song.

The whole initial experience felt like a letdown when I kept expected legacy characters to show up via flashbacks & the big twist honestly just frustrated me.

After 7 years it was…I’ll say “nifty”, to have a new Saw movie. I didn’t have any expectations good or bad. Logan being YET ANOTHER conspirator was kind of head scratching at first, but I’ve come to think of his involvement with John Kramer, as well as Dr. Gordon’s, as more an occasional collaborator than full-on apprentice like Amanda or Hoffman. At least that’s how I choose to look at it in my own head-cannon.

one of my rats passed away last night and i just saw this now, still very excited to watch

[@ripdalt]

omg i'm so sorry to hear that :( hopefully you're doing okay

[@cadillacdeville5828]

Ahh yes, you never disappoint me. Even if I disagree with a point or 2, your narration is appreciated ❤. This movie was so underwhelming.

[@ripdalt]

thank you very much :) that's be beauty of the movies, we can agree and disagree but still have that shared love for them

[@bijansadoughi2128]

Probably my personal least favorite in the franchise. The “secret apprentice” trope was dissatisfying and done before.

[@ripdalt]

it's probably also towards the bottom for me as well

[@tpfang56]

You’re so right about Jigsaw being a boring ass movie. It’s boring on all levels: aesthetically too sterile, cinematography, editing, traps, characters, plot, everything. I checked how long there was left twice in this 90min film. I’d rewatch Saw 3D in its “so bad it’s good” insanity a hundred times over Jigsaw.

[@ripdalt]

exactly! saw 3d flies by with the hoffmanator, whereas here both the games and police work reeeeally drag on

[@tpfang56]

⁠​⁠@@ripdalt Saw 7 is extremely flawed (and lowkey sexist) but man, the traps go SO HARD, and it’s fucking hilarious and campy fun. Hoffminator going all Hitman was ridiculous but his murder spree is sexy ok? Spiral, as much as I really dislike Chris Rock and the execution of it, at least has a gritty aesthetic and some gruesome traps. got to give it credit it for trying something different, even if it fails. For me, Jigsaw is a 3/10 and Spiral is a 4/10. Saw 1 and 6 are 9/10s and all the others are 7/10 (yes, even Saw 3D). I have a ranking based on personal enjoyment but the Saw films in the middle are all pretty close in terms of quality to me with their own strengths and weaknesses.

[@ginyuforcefan6996]

I Really Wanted To Like This Movie, I Was Hoping Jigsaw Would Bring Saw Back But It Felt Like A Slog To Get Through Even At The Theater. But I Think The Next Saw X Really Hit The Nail On The Head And Its Probably My New Favorite In The Series. I Hope You Plan On Making A Saw X Video Next, I Love How You Articulate These Videos And Would Love To See Your Opinion On The Film

[@ripdalt]

saw x is 100% coming, but first the (obviously) forgotten about spiral! :)

[@doctorsixes8371]

I kinda liked it

[@ripdalt]

that's all that matters then! :) it's a good time

[@tizza963]

In my opinion, this is easily the worst entry in the series. Spiral is also awful, but at least it has Chris Rock 😂 Another great episode in this retrospective. Thank you dalt.!

[@ripdalt]

both are very close for me personally (at the bottom that is) and i feel like i keep flip flopping them back and forth

[@julesrules7297]

Hi, dalt. Missed you, homie...❤

[@ripdalt]

hi jules! welcome back :) good to see you again

[@Tp_hedgelinghog]

I love these videos and im excited for the next ones. I think Spiral is the one nobody asked for, and i think after Jigsaw fans were okay to let the franchise rest, but wouldn't be opposed to more movies. Are there other horror franchises you wanna dig into after Saw, or any of the expanded media from the DVD extras and games?

[@ripdalt]

that's fair actually, genuinely nobody could've asked for what chris rock cooked up in spiral. i think eventually i would go over the games, and as for other franchises, i'd certainly like to go into the scream franchise, and i'm 100% getting into every kid's horror gateway, scooby-doo! :)

[@Tp_hedgelinghog]

@ripdalt Scream is so incredible, and I am very happy I picked them all up last Halloween. I have seen two movies of the now 6 and they're pretty good at being contained but also calling back to earlier entries. I hope you'll have fun with the Saw games, and Scooby-Doo too!

WOO the movie ive been waiting for!! im so glad to see you enjoy this movies rifle trap- it was the one good thing to really come out of this movie. although im ngl i do enjoy ryan a lot. he deserved better 💔

[@ripdalt]

i really liked that one! unfortunate how it ended for the two, but definitely makes sense in the context of the rest of the game and how the two lived

[@marlzz92]

There’s something about the Saw franchise. There’s not a film that I actually dislike. I do have a tier list though 😂

[@ripdalt]

exactly! they're all so good, in their own little ways. some DEFINITELY better than others though

[@roonkolos]

I know people give Spiral a lot of crap but if you ask me, Jigsaw absolutely is the worst of the franchise Thats just me at least. Hell, logan coulda made that last line so much cooler "I speak for the dead. And the dead... says Game Over." **slams door**

[@ripdalt]

both spiral and jigsaw have their own long lists of issues, and both feel kinda like soulless entries in this franchise

[@overlord6993]

Its a Squirrel

[@ripdalt]

ohhh there you go, that's the one

[@buggoth]

So glad i was recommended your videos today! Have binge watched all of them and now am inspired to make my own content based on this. Will it be a blogpost or a video? Who knows. But something you said in your video on Saw VI inspired me to be able to communicate the exceptional nihilist and post-leftist themes in Saw. Anyways, thank you for your incredible videos!

[@ripdalt]

i LOVE that this made you want to create your own stuff! that's super cool :) and thank you for watching!

[@kslhmb]

Jigsaw is not my favorite Saw film and therefore I am not the ugliest dalt. viewer. But it is probably my fourth favorite Saw film (behind 1, 6, and 10). It has plot holes, but like, yeah, of course it does, it's Saw. It has acting problems, but like, yeah, of course it does, it's Saw. It's a fun, fast watch and I think Logan is a great character and (I disagree with dalt. here) I am never bored by it because none of the plots feel extraneous (unlike 3D or 4). I don't think about it when I think about the series, but I enjoy it on a rewatch after the quagmire that is 3D, and that alone is worth something.

[@ripdalt]

that's basically how i view it (and most of the series) as well, sure it's not _the best thing_ you've ever seen, but it's still a saw movie. this one just doesn't quite grab my attention like some of the others unfortunately, but at least it's not my least favorite :)

[@themightymcb7310]

The main thing I hated about this movie was the awful cgi gore

[@ripdalt]

god it was so bad... the motorcycle trap was the worst offender

[@themightymcb7310]

@@ripdalt I think the leg slices that look like sushi rolls and bounce like low effort weightless animation is the worst, but yeah the motorcycle one too

[@SouveraineMiaa]

Hey, thanks again for your videos ! You should maybe invest in a good mic for your vids, your voice soudns a bit crunchy and whenever you go into the highs or low we hear it saturate (it doesn't rui nthe video or anything ,but since you're gtting pretty popular it might be nice to ugrade your gear :D). Personally bought a Rode NT1-A 2 years ago and it's awesome, nowadays it's pretty cheap and has a basically perfect audio quality, i can only recommend it if you're on a budget it's very nice ^-^

[@ripdalt]

oooh thank you! my recording setup is super janky, but i try and make it work :) i'll look into it though!

I hate jigsaw twist ending because it doesn't make sense. I mean there is no way that this is from 2004 other than that compare the jigsaw game with saw 1 games. It's not even close. Other than that to win the jigsaw game you need to follow the rules but in the final game jigsaw use the playing on words and he didn't do that in any other game. and also why did jigsaw bring ryan to the game for thing he do in his childhood by accident

[@ripdalt]

i think because he never fully atoned for his wrongdoings, but there's an alarming amount of people in these movies that probably don't deserve it

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

It ruined the lore so bad

[@ripdalt]

like "hey what if we had ANOTHER apprentice that's more important than the rest that you've never heard of"

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

@@ripdalt and also the knife chair being John's first ever trap makes more sense than this stupid ass group battle trap being his ACTUAL REAL first

[@Tp_hedgelinghog]

@@Hatsune-Miku_Fan it could make sense as his first game, as games generally are a combination of traps put together, but it's an awful first trap.

[@mikaross4671]

It honestly feels like every film after Saw 6 is so awful. Saw X is great, but Saw 7-9 can disappear into the archive. The only good scene in this entire movie is the shot gun key to freedom scene. That's it.

[@ripdalt]

the heights of 6 trumps nearly everything else that comes after, only a few moments from each movie afterwards come close to giving me that same feeling

[@crystalrelic_art]

You know a Saw movie is utter dogshit when even a cameo of Jigsaw/John Kramer can't save it 💀💀💀
