Saw X Review

Directed by Kevin Greutert and Produced by Oren Koules & Mark Burg
Saw+X+Review

This is the 10th movie in the Saw franchise and the movie is about a sick and desperate John Kramer who travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his brain cancer only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Here is my review on Saw X

This movie brought to Saw a trill that I feel had been missing from the series for a long time. Not only that, but also with incredibly well done pacing, writing and cinematography. This movie really had the early 2000s Saw feel to it. I felt every beat of the story and every emotional scene, with Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith’s acting being the most shining example. Even after so long since being active in Saw, they both knocked it out of the park, making it easy to sympathize with them as antagonists and even rooting for their survival. They had the will to live. Even as someone who had seen every other Saw movie and knew both John and Amanda survived to Saw III, I was holding my breath when the trap was turned on them and let out a big sigh of relief when they survived alongside the classic “Hello Zepp” backed twist. Overall beautifully crafted film that hit every mark as a long time fan of the franchise, which has definitely made up for the lows of Saw 3D and Spiral

In addition, the gore and effects were incredible, hard to watch in the best way possible. There was such a good balance of plot and gruesomeness that even someone who doesn’t particularly watch horror could get invested in the story and end up enjoying it. This is also a movie that you can go into without knowing too much because in the timeline of this movie it would fit in after the first Saw. I hope everyone will get a chance to watch and enjoy this movie as much as I did.
