TomThomas Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Yeah, I don't see Saw XI getting the same reception, this one is an outlier, Saw X worked so well because of things you can't repeat twice and Tobin is just too old, you can't milk him forever.

TheDude391 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Spoiler If they make Saw 11, I'm assuming it'd be another prequel set before 3. This time with my boy Hoffman as the co-lead, maybe get Gordon back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Saw X was fantastic. A great story and some nasty traps with no flashing back and forward nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Up to the 80 reviews treshold for certified fresh now and still rocking 86% so yeah, guaranteed to happen. EDIT: They've taken the shot immediately. Saw is certified fresh. Edited September 29, 2023 by Lucas 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Really enjoyed this, best Saw sequel for me (but still a long way short of the original, not that I was personally expecting it to be). I loved the focus on John, it really made it feel different and Tobin Bell was great. If they do make another one, I hope they take their time and get it right, it’d be a shame for them screw it up again. Spoiler Where did he get all of that blood for the “water-boarding see-saw” trap though? And at such short notice 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Draper Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Really enjoyed this. I don't know if it's my personal favorite, but it's definitely in the conversation for top 3 with Saw 1 and 6. I can see why it reviewed well though. I don't think there's much debate that from a film making perspective, this was the most well made film of the franchise. Also the best acted. Particularly Tobin Bell who treated this like it was Shakespeare. And really he is the lynch pin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Are you fucking kidding me. "If it's Halloween it must be saw" but you get it out of theaters before the month even ends? For the best reviewed film in the franchise??? Edited September 30, 2023 by SpiderByte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just seems to be PVOD which as proven a billion times by now barely if at all affects legs. We don't need to do the same thing every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Taylor Swift and KOFTM, Saw will barely be in any theaters a month from now. I wouldn't be shocked if its not even in theaters on Halloween. Plus Taylor Swift's movie has an exemption to play on Halloween, so I doubt it will even get a push for a re-release around Halloween.

C'mon, this is the year that proved counterprogramming works. The Taylor Swift crowd was not seeing Saw instead if Eras wasn't playing. It's October! Horror movie month!

Boxofficerules Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'd like to think this will have good, sexy legs but lots of horror is coming out that it might end up like one of the characters in this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Finally saw it and really liked it. Been a shockingly consistent year for old ass horror franchise favorites of mine delivering great late installments. This manages to work as a Saw film for Saw fans and a real movie for non-fans at the same time - practically a miracle how well this came together. It feels like the early movies, but it's also very different and works as a standalone piece. For all that Spiral seemed to want to "elevate" the series, Saw X ended up being the one to do it and it could still be a proper Saw film at the same time. I'm so fucking happy Tobin Bell got this gift. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
