In 2004, director James Wan and writer/actor Leigh Whannell
made their big screen debut with their independent film “Saw”. Did they know
that this little film was going to become a franchise, spawning six sequels
that would come out (almost) every October following the original’s release?
Did they know that this movie was going to help launch their careers into the
successful professionals that they are today?
The “Saw” series introduced us to the evil little puppet
Billy, the Jigsaw Killer, and Jigsaw’s famous min-tape recordings that tell his
victims the rules of the game that they are about to play
While the series has had its share ups and downs, each new
chapter was able to honor the events from the previous films and build upon its
mythos. Only near the end were there a few glaring questionable moments, but
otherwise the series was able to take any and all loose ends and tie them up
and together in some of the most surprising and twisting ways; most of the
loose ends weren’t even noticeable until they’re were tied up! It’s these small
details, as well as the traps and the cast of characters that I want to focus
on during my review of this series this week.
