The people organizing the scam sure, but a lot of the others still didn't really deserve to get jigsaw'd especially if you consider that Cecilia kinda got off easy (unless she dies at the start of the next film)

[@joukeschat2486]

It feels similar as the crew from saw 5 or 6 with the insurance firm. Which was one of the most deserving ppl prior to this.

I would prefer if they went to prison for their actions instead of being in a saw trap, I doubt that woman is gonna feel “a change in heart”

Feels so nostalgic for james to be back on a saw kill count, it just reminds me of the time i started watching the channel.

[@ArDeeMee]

Same. „Saw Kill Count“ just popped into my recommended one day, and I‘ve been here ever since.

[@The-Outcasts]

This movie offered a rare glimpse into the true mind of John Kramer, and really brought humanity to him for, at least in my opinion, the first time. Every actor did a fantastic job, and every kill was amazingly done, even if there weren't as many kills as I was expecting there to be, which may have actually been in the film's favor as it offered more time to bring the humanity and honesty to John and his story. Great video as always, James! Keep it up!

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

Right and proved why he technically lost it. He was betrayed and manipulated at his very lowest and thats even after what happened to his son and the other movie plots. It also shows why he has less sympathy for players later on becausethey are "soft" compred to these people in the game and their will to live. It explains why he also assumes they will all fail now because "its their nature andits doesnt change". Like with Cecelia or with Amanda, maybe after this she felt it wasnt fair for others to win the games because Gabriella still lost? Or it made her think no one deserves to survive more than Gabriella? I used to think Amanda's motivation was that she and Hoffman were jealous of eachother being able to "beat/win" the game. Ngl, this franchise is so complex and would be a great horror convo over wine lol 😅

The effort, the editing, the jokes, the commentary, everything is so enjoyable. I never skip a sponsor from you haha.

[@ethan6581_]

As someone who had extremely low expectations I was pleasantly surprised at how good this film was, and in my opinion the best since Saw III. I love how it feels like an early 2000s saw film but it's one of the most unique and different with its approach.

[@sophiecooper1824]

Completely agree

[@snakesbakecookies]

i'd say second best since 3, because 6 was defo my favourite saw movie ever

[@KentuckyKaiju]

The only negative I'd give is that it's pretty much solidified the fact that this series cannot survive without Tobin Bell. Once he's not able to play Jigsaw anymore, this franchise is dead.

[@user-se2kq6en5p]

Similar to how Film Riot does it, they make a whole skit that's worth watching around it.

[@KentuckyKaiju]

Personally I kind of hate it. Not the end result (clearly good work by the crew and writers), but it bothers me that creators have to expend so much creativity to do advertisers jobs for them on top of their own work. There's a reason this kind of sponsored content got phased out in TV and movies decades ago and just constantly reminds me of how little respect online creators get still.

[@ronnysessions2537]

I've seen all of them as me and my wife's first horror series in its entirety and I will definitely say saw x takes the cake. It makes you feel kinda bad for John at times. One of the best thought out movies.

Valentina's trap had me gaping in amazement the first time around, then cringing upon rewatch when I felt sympathy for the fact she almost beat it. Seeing her severed head and the rest of her body fall was absolutely nuts. Easily one of the best traps in the series, even if its feasibility in real life is extremely dubious.

This was everything I could’ve wanted and more in a Saw movie. A story with an actual soul instead of an excuse for the violence, simple and efficient character development, and a surprising amount of emotional gravitas. I also like how the antagonists are the worst of the worst, so the violence actually feels pretty justified as it’s easy to not really feel any empathy towards them. And of course, seeing Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith back as John and Amanda being front and center for the first time was a delight. I really hope we see a follow up to this still set before the second movie as well.

[@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay]

It's always great to see Saw back on the kill count as well as seeing Tobin Bell back, I read recently that Tobin Bell didn't have a great time doing Saw 1, he mentioned a lot about his experience about how he had to lay on a floor a lot and one saddest thing he said was he had to eat alone because nobody wanted to eat with him

[@mattturner747]

5 and a half years is insane, I remember vividly being extremely excited when james announced he was doing saw

[@HyenaDandy]

Important point about the eyeball trap - It is the ultimate proof that Jigsaw ultimately LIKES to see them lose. He may be disappointed, but deep down, he WANTS them suffering and dying. We know this because, when he sees someone he thinks would be a good target for a trap, his mental image of how it plays out is them taking the most painful way of solvingt he problem, and failing. Because like he said, killing is DISTASTEFUL. So he has to construct the whole redemption narrative to justify his desire to do it.
