Saw II (2005)
Nov 13, 2005Killer's Sadistic Games
The first sequel to the sleeper success of Saw where Darren Lynn Bousman inherits the director's chair but delivers a film that lacks the torturous suspense that James Wan gave the original
Twisted Pictures
Saw III (2006)
Feb 11, 2007Killer's Sadistic Games
Third of the Saw films and the point where director Darren Lynn Bousman places the series' focus on grim gore-drenched sadism and torture
Saw IV (2007)
Jan 19, 2008Killer's Sadistic Games
Fourth of the Saw films, the third under Darren Lynn Bousman who has placed an increasing emphasis on torturous extremes at the expense of credible plotting
Saw V (2008)
Oct 31, 2008Killer's Sadistic Games
Fifth of the Saw films. By now the series has developed such a complicated backstory it is difficult following how it all pieces together
Saw VI (2009)
Nov 2, 2009Killer's Sadistic Games
Sixth time around and the backstory is starting to become so excessively complicated it is hard to follow what is going on. All the gruesome torturings now seem passe, although this does redeem itself somewhat in making a few black digs at the medical health industry
Saw 3D (2010)
Mar 1, 2011Killer's Sadistic Games
Supposedly the final chapter of the Saw saga – where the sole novelty on offer is gore and body parts coming out the screen in 3D. This is conducted with a tired lack of effort that makes for tedium-inducing watching
The Tortured (2010)
Jun 30, 2012Couple Torture Paedophile
A couple abduct and torture a paedophile who killed their son. Hard to tell if this is an edgy out-there film or the most tasteless concept that Torture Porn cinema has tried so far. Alas, a banal tv movie handling kills any possibility of the former
Jigsaw (2017)
Jan 20, 2018Saw Sequel
Whether we asked for it or not, this is a revival of the Saw series. The upside is that unlike the other sequels it comes from a duo of directors who have made some quite good films elsewhere
Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
Jun 11, 2021Killer’s Sadistic Games
The Saw series is revived sort of, featuring the activities of a Jigsaw copycat, otherwise this offers up all the familiar essentials in all but name
Saw X (2023)
Nov 3, 2023Saw Sequel
The Saw series is back and this has been getting some of the best reviews of any entries in the series
