people say humanising John is a bad decision I disagree. showing his as human gives off the message that anyone, no matter how kind they are, can turn into someone just like him, and that is haunting

This movie felt like watching the first Saw movie all over again. I loved it.

[@troywinters8123]

So, fun and controversial fact, I grew up seeing all of the saw films in the cinema, except for the first one. I went into SAW 2 utterly blind and was captivated and horrified, I loved the film. I immediately went to the original SAW and went ‘it was decent, nothing super special’. I came into the series a film to late, so saw 2 establishes my baseline for how the franchise would be. The original saw feels so different, slower, more purposeful, and having the film basically fully spoiled before I’d even seen it affected my viewpoint on it. 2, 3, 6 and 10 are easily my , and it’s wonderful to see many of the saw fans from all walks of the films with a mostly unanimous opinion that saw x is one of the best. And while I’m at it, the actors sold it extremely well. Long may this franchise continue.

[@arveanas]

@@troywinters8123 Thanks for sharing your experience! It's really nice to see people being unified, regardless of which Saw movie you watched first, that Saw X is one of the best in the franchise. I liked the same movies you did except for 3 because I couldn't stand Jeff 🤣

One thing I've always loved about Saw is the dedication to practical effects. They said they had to use a lot of special effects but looking at this video, i don't see a single green screen or morph suit. All the sets and locations are real, the traps are actually constructed, the makeup and prosthetics go hard, it's such a refreshing thing to see in a time when cgi is so heavily used

[@ralfsstuff]

I think you're confusing special effects and visual effects? But yeah, I totally agree. Doing these things practically really helps with immersion

[@martijnvangelder1902]

One thing is that it's really different from what CGI is normally used for; namely distant stuff iirc. For closeups it's really hard to make CGI look realistic, if it's the primary focus. Practical effects are a wise decision here because it's close-up gore.

Saw is nothing without John Kramer to be honest. He's a vital part for the whole franchise and without him, his voice and philosophical mumbo-jumbo the franchise would be a forgettable horror series like any other. I haven't watched any Saw after the 4th or 5th installment when he was dead but now I feel like catching up just to see this one.

Tobin Bell as John Kramer is what makes Saw good. The tests/traps are cool but I have always come back because of John, the way he justifies his actions and how the tests allow for ppl to escape and 'better' themself and the tests being modelled around the person in them and not completely random. I love the way the story ties itself together. The Saw franchise is easily my favourite. So glad they made Saw X!
