What a sad story
"Saw X," directed by Kevin Greutert, is the latest installment in the long-running Saw franchise, and it manages to breathe new life into the series while staying true to its roots. Known for its intricate traps, moral quandaries, and a relentless focus on the darker aspects of human nature, "Saw X" delivers exactly what fans have come to expect: a visceral, stomach-churning experience that's as much about the psychology of its characters as it is about the gore.
Saw X follows Johnny Kramer as he murders people in the most bizarre ways if they inconvenience him in the slightest way. Followed by his lovely assistant, "Becker's receptionist", they force their broken moral compass onto everyone they come across.
5/10 Thankfully, I wasn't expecting much out of it. - ahmdemir-86645 - 12 May 2024
we missed each other
The movie is a little inferior to the first Saw movies.death scenes and punishment scenes were impressive Other than that, the movie logic was good I wish some more people were condemned to death Frankly, I didn't like the movie very much. The music of the baby riding a bicycle reminded us of how beautiful the episodes of the Saw series were. We missed the movie but wish it was worth it If it were a little more clever and logical and the death scenes were effective, I would give it more points The movie was boring, but it got a little better towards the end, but the overall score is 5. If the series continues it should be very interesting. - mrdanielkanewilliams - 10 March 2024
A bloody goodish horror movie
Compared to Saw 1-7 and Spiral this gory movie is pretty average but it is still watchable and does have some unique gory twists.
This slice of Saw is set in between Saw 1 and 2 and tells the story of when John Kramer (Tobin Bell) was told about a group of doctors who can perform successful miracle surgeries on cancer patients. But it turns out that the doctor's isn't real and they're just taking money off these poor, desperate patients. Although when John finds out that it's all a scam he decides to get revenge.
At first this film does seem a bit slow because it just shows how John is coping with having cancer and how he finds out about these doctors. The film does try to entertain you with a short gory game near the beginning but the ending to this game is disappointing.
When John finds out about the scam and kidnaps the doctors the games he makes them play are unique and gory but they are also a bit short. I think it would have worked better if the film had started off with the doctor's getting kidnapped, then you could have done a longer, gorier game and mixed it in with some flash backs showing why and how John choose these doctors.
Another thing that let this movie down was that John and his accomplice, Amanda (Shawnee Smith) looked quite a bit older than they do in the other early Saw films, which I know is gard to correct because they were made quite a while ago, but i think they could have looked younger or maybe the writer's could have chosen different actors.
There is also a goodish twist at the end which brought back memories of how the Saw games in the early movies kept me wondering what was going to happen next. But this twist also made John and Amanda look a bit unprofessional especially if you compare it to how they kept fooling the police in the early Saw films.
Overall though I did have fun watching this film but I'm not sure if I'll watch it again, because when I feel like watching a Saw movie I'll probably just watch either Saw 1-7 or Spiral.
