At long last, Jigsaw returned in Saw X. Set between the events of Saw and Saw II, the tenth installment is a gruesome fan-pleaser led by a franchise-best performance from Tobin Bell as John Kramer.
Along with a six-part making-of documentary and more, the film’s home video release features an audio commentary by director-editor Kevin Greutert, cinematographer Nick Matthews, and production designer Anthony Stabley.
Here are nine things I learned from the Saw X commentary…
1. Kevin Greutert was unsure about the concept until he read the script.
Greutert — who edited six previous Saw films and directed Saw VI and Saw 3D — is one of the few Saw creatives to return for Saw X, but he wasn’t sold on the initial concept.
“I’d heard about it years before, what the concept of the movie was, and I was like, ‘I don’t know. Really? Cancer?’ I just wasn...

What Halloween would be complete without a little "Saw"? After the ninth chapter in the 2000s horror mainstay, "Spiral: From the Book of Saw," opened in May 2021, this year's "Saw X" saw the series return to a far more traditional, scary season-adjacent launch date in late September. The move paid off at the box office, with "Saw X" scoring the franchise's strongest box office debut in over a decade and very nearly taking the number one spot if it hadn't been for those snoopin' Paw Patrollers (I guess #SawPatrol became a real thing after all). Now, the film is headed to Premium Video on Demand and Premium Electronic Sell-Through just in time for your All Hallows' Eve watch party on October 20, 2023, with its release on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital to follow a month later on November 21.

Director Kevin Greutert says that with Saw X, their goal was to make a new addition to the franchise that felt like the early Saw movies. Greutert provided a sneak peek behind the scenes at the upcoming tenth film of the popular horror franchise in a two-minute “Legacy” featurette released nine days out from the film’s theatrical debut.
Saw franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules described the September 29, 2023 release as being how they envision Saw II, with the action taking place just weeks after the end of the original Saw. Because of that, it was necessary to replicate the look of the original films down to the grittiness and color palette. “We’re working with a cinematographer here [Nick Matthews] who has just done a fabulous job,” says franchise star Tobin Bell.
Joining Bell in Saw X are Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Michael Beach, and Renata Vaca.

Saw X, the tenth film in the Saw franchise, is set to reach theatres on September 29th. With just one week to go before Jigsaw returns to the big screen, a featurette has arrived online to give us a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Saw X, with comments from director Kevin Greutert, producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules, cinematographer Nick Matthews, production designer Anthony Stabley, and cast members Synnøve Macody Lund (Ragnarok), who plays new character Cecilia Perderson, and Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, who reprise the roles of John “Jigsaw” Kramer and his protégé Amanda Young. You can watch the featurette in the embed above.
Greutert previously directed Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter (and also edited the first five films, plus Jigsaw). For this one, he was working from a screenplay that was written by Jigsaw and Spiral: From the Book of Saw screenwriters Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.

For the first time in franchise history, Saw X will actually establish the location it is set in and director Kevin Greutert is opening up about setting the horror film in Mexico.
“There’s such a mythology, the city is so amazing, and we can’t speak enough about it,” Greutert said during a fan Q&a session, according to The Direct. “And just that, there’s a certain creepiness to it and a certain history, and it just absolutely worked for us… It is the first time that, I’m sure you all know, but it’s the first time we’ve ever said where we are in a movie. And we kind of really leaned into that…”

Long before M3GAN danced into our lives, one of the creepiest little automatons in horror was Billy the Puppet, star of the "Saw" movies. Less than two decades after James Wan's twisted tale brought Billy into the world, the perennially successful franchise has reached its tenth installment -- and Lionsgate has now dropped the first trailer for "Saw X."
In keeping with the series' tradition of ping-ponging around its own timeline, "Saw X" takes us back to just past the beginning. It's set between the events of "Saw" and "Saw II," which means that Tobin Bell is back as the whispery-voiced villain/god of the Jigsaw realm, John Kramer. Per the official synopsis, "Saw X" follows John as he "travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer." When he learns that "the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable,...
