The "Saw" films will continue to slice and dice their way into theaters until morale improves -- or until audiences finally get tired of the über-successful horror franchise. If the universal acclaim and strong box office performance of "Saw X" proved anything, however, it's that a return to its roots was sorely needed. As the eleventh film in the series is scheduled to release later this year, that theme is about to continue in a big way.
We haven't been told much about the cast or even the plot of "Saw XI" since the sequel was first announced back in December of last year, though it's been easy to imagine the creative team picking up on the ongoing prequel storyline almost exactly where they last left off. While the involvement of the man, myth, and legend Tobin Bell remains unclear, we now know that at least one other franchise veteran...

2023 was a good year for villains. With social media discourse at an all-time low, public figures taking constant swipes at each other, and A.I. poised to render all news meaningless, it seems like the year was filled with nefarious people coming out of the woodwork to make our lives a little more stressful.
But no matter what nightmares we saw playing out in real life, we could rest in the knowledge that something equally evil or maybe even worse would be showing at our local cineplex or streaming platform. The horror genre is filled with larger-than-life foes from centuries-old monsters to futuristic killers and this year gave us villains in spades.
Some are humorous, some tragic, some pulled from reality, and some difficult to pin down. But regardless of their stories, the following ten villains made our lives just a little more terrifying – and if we don’t honor them here,...

Lionsgate is back with a bang, announcing “Saw XI” with a slated release date of September 27, 2024. The news came out of the blue, especially since “Saw X” graced theaters just over two months ago. The announcement was made on Instagram, intriguing fans with Roman numerals set against a spooky “Saw” backdrop.
The “Saw” franchise is no stranger to fast-paced releases. Echoing the quick success of the earlier films, “Saw XI” is following closely on the heels of its predecessor. This pattern of rapid production has been a hallmark of the series since “Saw II” rushed to screens just a year after the original.

Setting a date for next fall is a pretty astounding feat, as the last franchise entry, “Saw X,” hit theaters just over two months ago on Sept. 29. That represents a quick turnaround — less than one year — for the franchise. It’s not an achievement that the series hasn’t notched before though. After the first “Saw” took off, “Saw II” was quickly greenlit and just barely hit the benchmark,...

From the mid to late aughts, October horror was dominated by one word: Saw. In an impressive streak, the grisly franchise celebrated seven straight years with a new entry just in time for Halloween. Though sequels have been sporadic since the 2010 film Saw: The Final Chapter, this autumn brought another tale from Jigsaw’s world of twisted morality and the return of the legendary killer himself. Director Kevin Greutert’s story follows John Kramer (Tobin Bell) on a quest for revenge, but the film also features a fan favorite character and one of the saga’s first survivors. Set between the first and second franchise entries, Saw X sees the return of Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) as an assistant/disciple of the dying murderer. Though her position in Jigsaw’s army would later be usurped by others, Amanda remains the franchise’s most heartbreaking character and the greatest condemnation of Jigsaw’s sociopathy.

Saw X, the tenth entry in the Saw franchise, is currently in theatres (you can read our review Here) – and so far the movie has pulled in almost $60 million at the global box office, so we’re probably going to be seeing a Saw 11 sooner than later. In fact, the producers were already talking sequel before the movie was released. But during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Kevin Greutert, who previously directed Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter (and also edited the first five films, plus Jigsaw) said he intended for the movie to feel like the final send-off to the Jigsaw character.
When asked about what could be coming next for the franchise, Greutert said, “Well, we’ll just have to see what the future of Saw is. There are so many directions we could go, but for me, there’s no obvious one coming out of this film.

[This story contains spoilers for Saw X.]
If anyone deserved to be at the helm of the Saw franchise’s first critically acclaimed film, it’s Saw X director Kevin Greutert. The editor-turned-director has been credited on every single Saw film, be it as an editor, director or executive producer, beginning with James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s original Saw (2004). Greutert chalks Saw X’s success up to an accessible plot and the calculated risk of asking the audience to empathize more than ever with the franchise’s signature antagonist, John “Jigsaw” Kramer (Tobin Bell).
“We took a risk by really fleshing out John Kramer’s character. It’s contrary to the Jaws and Alien wisdom that the less you see of your monster, the better. If this movie had a chance, it was going to be by going deep into John Kramer,” Greutert tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young in Saw X. Photo Credit: Alexandro Bolaños Escamilla The last time Shawnee Smith shot a Saw film was when she made Saw VI back in 2009. Of course, after (spoiler alert!) her character, Amanda, was killed at the end of Saw III, Smith wasn’t expecting to be in any of the franchise’s movies as it went on. (The scenes she filmed for Saw VI were flashbacks.) One thing she definitely hadn’t counted on was the idea of adding an “in-between sequel,” like they have with Saw X. It takes place between Saw and Saw II, so Amanda is alive and well and once again in a starring role. This will come as good news for Amanda’s fans; Smith says she’s met many of those fans over the years, and she absolutely loves them. (Click on the media bar below to hear Shawnee Smith) https://www.

Historically, when it comes to spectacle, violence has been one of the major factors that has worked like a charm to attract audiences, as it is undeniably one of the integral parts of the struggle for existence itself. But without proper causality, nuance, and intertextuality, the display of wanton violence only serves as a cheap crowd-puller. That’s what James Wan and Leigh Whanell had always kept in mind while creating the iconic thriller/slasher movie “Saw” in 2004, which eventually spawned a franchise complete with its own mythology, characters, and legacy and grew large enough through the last couple of decades to become one of the top-grossing horror franchises to date. Although the later entries lost much of the subtlety and innovativeness of the original trilogy due to drastic narrative changes, the recently released “Saw X” has returned to its roots to reinvigorate the franchise once again.

The Saw franchise, notorious for its mind-bending traps and twisted morality, is back with Saw X, a semi-prequel that finds its place snugly between the first and second films. Directed by Kevin Greutert and crafted by writers Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger, this chapter promises a fresh, albeit macabre, spin on the series.
We’re thrown back into the twisted world of John Kramer, and who better to lead us than the brilliant Tobin Bell? His return is a real treat, a silver lining to the franchise that had to say goodbye to him way too soon. Bell isn’t just back; he’s delving deeper, giving us more layers to John Kramer than we’ve seen before. Saw X takes a slightly more cinematic route, allowing us a peek behind the curtain.

Franchise veterans John “Jigsaw” Kramer (Tobin Bell) and Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) are back in action in the milestone sequel Saw X (our review), playing in theaters now. The sequel blends the old with the new, including relocating the lethal terror to Mexico. Bloody Disgusting spoke with director Kevin Greutert and production designer Anthony Stabley about how the Mexico setting informed the traps and new batch of survivors.
Watch the video interview below, where Stabley reveals what mythology he drew from when creating the production design, and how actor Paulette Hernandez‘s intensity set the bar high for the scenes that followed.
Director Kevin Greutert, the franchise’s long-term editor since 2004’s Saw, helms the tenth installment from the screenplay by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger.

Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young in Saw X. Photo Credit: Alexandro Bolaños Escamilla The last Saw film to feature new footage of Shawnee Smith was Saw VI, back in 2009. But the new Saw X takes place between the events of Saw and Saw II, so getting Smith back to reprise her role was a major priority for the filmmakers. The franchise’s step back into the past has paid off so far, at least with critics: Saw X has gotten better reviews than any of the franchise’s previous films, according to be Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. And Smith, for her part, told us it feels great to be back with the franchise, especially in a film as well-received as Saw X.

Hello, Den of Geek readers. We would like to play a little game.
When James Wan and Leigh Whannell unleashed the first Saw in 2004, you might’ve thought the franchise was all about grisly murders and psychological nonsense. But if you still hold true to that opinion, then you have not been paying attention to the backstory and police procedural that accompanied the carnage. With each entry, the Saw franchise embraced flashbacks, flash-forwards, and flash-sideways, becoming more convoluted than that other 2000s phenomenon, Lost.
And now that Saw X is in theaters, you realize that you don’t understand the story at all. How can there be a 10th movie when John Kramer died in Saw III? Didn’t Jigsaw reboot the series in 2017? Did anyone actually see Spiral: From the Book of Saw?

When you think of Sundance movies, you usually think of quirky, optimistic or melodramatic coming-of-age stories. Films like “Manchester by the Sea,” “Coda” or “The Big Sick.” But the movie that spawned the most successful franchise from its Sundance debut is none of those things. In January 2004, Sundance audiences were knocked on their collective butts by “Saw,” an out-of-nowhere horror flick from two unknown Australian filmmakers.
Director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell’s “Saw” offered a deceptively simple premise of two desperate men chained together in an empty room with little idea of how they got there or how to get out.
Starring Cary Elwes and Danny Glover, Monica Potter and a pre-“Lost” Michael Emerson, “Saw” inspired a new wave of grindhouse horror, films that reveled in old-school gore and a certain Rube Goldberg mentality to the kills beyond just attractive teenagers being picked off one by one.

The past two weekends have been rough for theaters, as the riches of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have worn off and overall grosses have fallen to levels not seen since mid-February. Fortunately, a trio of new genre films are here to bring some business back.
The threesome in question are Lionsgate’s “Saw X,” a back-to-basics approach to the gory horror franchise that defined the genre in the 2000s; Paramount’s preschooler family film “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie,” the latest offering from the Nick Jr. series that has become a merchandising titan; and Disney/20th Century’s “The Creator,” an original sci-fi film from “Rogue One” director Gareth Edwards.
Trackers don’t have a consensus on whether “Saw X” or “Paw Patrol 2” will be the No. 1 film. Distribution sources have told TheWrap that projections for “Saw X” have ranged as low as $15 million and as high as $25 million, while projections...

Franchise veterans John “Jigsaw” Kramer (Tobin Bell) and Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) are back in action in the milestone sequel Saw X (our review). But they’re not the only franchise mainstays that worked to bring the gory sequel to life.
Director Kevin Greutert (Saw VI, Saw 3D), the franchise’s long-term editor since 2004’s Saw, helms the tenth installment from the screenplay by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger.
Greutert, Bell, and Smith aren’t the only returning franchise vets either; producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules launched the franchise in 2004 alongside James Wan and Leigh Whannell and have been with the franchise the entire way.
With nearly twenty years of franchise lore, history, and experience with Jigsaw and his gnarly traps under their belts, few know Saw quite like Burg and Koules.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with the tenured producers about Saw X and how much input they have on John Kramer’s lethal traps.

As a self-professed Saw-head, I will admit that anytime we get a brand-new Saw movie, I’m happier than Billy riding his bicycle to greet a new victim. Good or bad, I find the films in this franchise to be endlessly entertaining (and rewatchable), with Saw II and Saw VI being amongst my favorites from the series. Well, now there’s a new contender for my favorite Saw movie because Saw X is that damn great. It’s hard to believe that a tenth film in a horror franchise could deliver the goods as well as it does (so to speak), as usually with different series, the longer they go on, the more diminishing the returns are.
But Saw X feels like an absolutely miraculous achievement and was a completely enthralling viewing experience. Directed by Kevin Greutert and co-written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, Saw X brings about...

The tenth entry in any franchise, let alone horror, is a monumental milestone. What began in 2004 with Saw, a twisty thriller that introduced John “Jigsaw” Kramer as a mastermind trap engineer, quickly gave way to an enduring horror franchise where the traps got gnarlier and the timeline increasingly more convoluted once Jigsaw and favorite apprentice Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) were lethally removed from the equation. Both are back in Saw X, a milestone sequel that goes back to the franchise’s roots to a deeply satisfying degree.

Kevin Greutert's Saw X was just screened for select critics, who are now sharing their thoughts about the new sequel on Twitter.
The highly anticipated tenth entry in the horror franchise sees the return of Tobin Bell's franchise mainstay John Kramer as he heads to Mexico, hoping to receive a miracle treatment for his cancer. Instead of getting cured, he gets scammed—an event that sets a new sadistic Jigsaw game into motion.
Also joining the fun for the series' longest film yet will be Shawnee Smith's Amanda Young, who is a veteran of the franchise, first appearing in 2004's Saw.

You can check out Tyler’s Saw X reaction below, as well as a handful of others. We’ll update with more Saw X reactions as they come in.

Saw X, the tenth film in the Saw franchise, is set to reach theatres in just a few days – on September 29th, to be exact. But if you can’t wait that long to watch a good chunk of footage from the film, a clip that shows about 1 minute and 45 seconds of the movie has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above. In this clip, we see that a very unlucky fellow named Mateo has his head stuck in a trap.

Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) was introduced in the very first Saw movie as a young heroin addict who was the only known survivor of one of Jigsaw’s games. After being revealed as Jigsaw’s apprentice in the second movie, Amanda went on to be featured in several more sequels and is set to return for Saw X.
While speaking with GamesRadar, Saw X director Kevin Greutert said that Amanda will be a “major character” in the upcoming sequel.
“I would say that she’s a major character in this story and I really wanted to explore that area between what we see in Saw 1 where she’s a very vulnerable recovering drug addict and the kind of sassy rebel in Saw 3,” Greuter said, “but Saw 2 in a way doesn’t really count as character development for her except to show that she’s working with Jigsaw but...

“Somehow, self-amputation feels good in a place like this.” While you wait for Saw X in theaters on September 29, Lionsgate just released a hilarious new piece of marketing today.
The 60-second social media video parodies the now-iconic Nicole Kidman ad for AMC Theatres, which has been playing ahead of movies at AMC locations for two years now.
“We come to this place for a reawakening. We come to the theaters to scream,” Jigsaw himself narrates the video, which replaces Nicole Kidman with his trusty puppet known as Billy.
The puppet bikes his way into the theater, takes a seat, and basks in the glory of the Saw franchise’s bloody torture. “Traps… they make movies better,” the parody video proclaims.
We agree. We definitely agree. Watch the AMC parody ad below!

The Saw franchise isn’t known for its length, with every installment of the series falling under two hours, but the runtime of Saw X is expected to be the longest yet.
Saw X director Kevin Greutert spoke at the Midsummer Scream 2023 convention (via The Direct) to tease just how epic the movie will be. “There’s so much more to this film than even the amazing amount that was there. I can say it’s the most epic, and this might sound scary, but I think it’s the longest ‘Saw’ movie,” Greutert said. “We don’t waste. When we’re editing a ‘Saw’ movie, we do not waste time. So the fact that it’s long, I think, is a testament to just how well done it is.“

The official trailer for Saw X debuted over the weekend, officially confirming that Shawnee Smith will be back as franchise villain Amanda Young in the upcoming movie.
This morning, Lionsgate has released another brand new sneak peek at Saw X, giving us a fresh look at Amanda’s return. How is Amanda Young still alive, you ask? Well, the upcoming Saw X is a direct sequel to the original Saw, meaning it takes place before the events of Saw II. It wasn’t until Saw III, you may recall, that Amanda and Jigsaw were both killed off.
Smith’s Amanda started out as a survivor of one of Jigsaw’s early traps, ultimately becoming an accomplice to the torturous madman – and as a result, a horror icon in her own right.
Tobin Bell is also back for Saw X, coming to theaters on September 29.

Jigsaw lives! So do all of his deadly puzzle traps in the first official trailer for “Saw X.” Lionsgate pulled the curtain back on the new installment in the horror series at Midsummer Screen Festival on Saturday evening.
While the plot for the 10th entry in the “Saw” franchise has been kept under wraps, the project has long teased the return of Tobin Bell as the series killer kidnapper Jigsaw. The actor originated the role in 2004’s “Saw” but died at the end of “Saw 3.” Even so, the character was a driving creative force and Bell signed on for several sequels, appearing in flashbacks as the series contorted itself into one of the most labyrinthine chronologies in modern franchise filmmaking.
“Saw X” arrives only two years after the series’ previous installment, “Spiral: From the Book of Saw.” Led by Chris Rock, that entry bore few connections to the existing series.

Jigsaw is back in the Saw X trailer! They tried to make the series work without him but, alas, it couldn’t be done. Now, after missing out on the spin-off Spiral: From the Book of Saw, Tobin Bell is back as the iconic Jigsaw Killer in Saw X, which just dropped its first official trailer. Lionsgate seems bullish on the return of one of horror’s most iconic villains, with them planning a wide theatrical bow on September 29th. Now, I know what you’re thinking – isn’t Jigsaw dead? It turns out Saw X is a prequel to the latter films, with it set between the events of Saw and Saw 2.
