Current Events > Been watching all the Saw movies lately (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Only watched up to Saw IV.

Does it ever get worse than the Rack? Probably the most diabolical thing I've seen in film.
Imagine being in that situation. I actually cannot comprehend how awful that would be.

i've watched all the films and i still rate that as the #1 worst trap to be in

Can't recall IV to be honest. But from the recent ones, Spiral had the fingertrap. That one was horrifying for me.

I haven't watched the older Saw movies in a minute. Is the rack the one where the black dude is getting all his limbs/head slowly twisted? That's the one that stuck with me the most.

Brutal...

Remember, folks....Jigsaw never murdered anybody. He gives them a choice....

To survive, the test subject had to rely on the help of a second person. The key to deactivate the trap hung from a wire in front of the barrel of a shotgun located in an enlarged glass box. This wire was connected to the shotgun's trigger. The second person had to take the key. However, once it was removed, the shotgun would fire a shot at whoever stood in front of it.

Saw is so stupid lol

And in practice, you're able to avoid the gunshot anyway, but in the movie A SECOND GUY STUPIDLY STUMBLES IN FRONT OF THE BARREL AS THE KEY IS REMOVED AND DIES. And then they can't find the key hole to stop the trap anyway!

Yeah especially in Saw X where the girl would have died from radiation poisoning anyway.

Thanks for sharing Doe.

The one where the guys wife is roasted alive is fucked particularly because she was innocent.

I think the what makes the rack so bad is the guy really didn't deserve it. I get he killed a kid because of drink driving and he probably deserved some form of Jigsaw punishment but he did his time and was clearly remorseful and living with guilt.
The rack should've been reserved for someone like the rapist from Saw IV.

And you can't anything about it. As badass as the traps in Saw III, I feel like this is where the series officially delved into the "torture porn" aspect.

i was trying to watch them and i stopped at 6 and don't even know if i want to continue. they're all pretty bad movies, and not like too gruesome, i mean they're just not enjoyable movies at all. i feel like i'm wasting my life away while the scenes pass by. could be better spent doing literally anything else.

I used to find these movies offensive because they were just "torture porn".

But I think Saw 1 to 2 are legitimately good movies. Saw 3 is also fine.

The rest fall into dumb but fun territory. The ending to Saw 5 is hilarious. It's like something out of a cartoon.

So I watched Saw X just now and I'm shocked that this got amazing reviews. I think it's probably one of the worst ones.

So far I would say...

Saw II > Saw > Saw III > Saw IV > Saw V > Saw X

Weird. It tonally did not feel like a Saw movie. Trying to portray John Kramer as some anti hero you cheer for just rubbed me the wrong way. The villains are cartoonishly evil, the acting was a bit off, the traps aren't interesting as they're just really gory (the eyeball trap was badass but they seriously made it a dream sequence?) and the twist was so predictable.

Ikr? I see the reviews and comments on the horror/movies/saw subreddits and it makes no sense to me at all. I feel it was a huge insult to the franchise.
