r/saw

As the title says, I’ve noticed when I told people I was watching the Saw movies from beginning to end, I would often get judgmental looks or even people asking “why do you enjoy watching something like that”

Wondering if any of you all have experience with this and what you say!

I’m rewatching the saw movies since they were added to Netflix, and I just got to 6, and was wondering was Hoffman’s Reverse Bear Trap rigged to kill him, or did Jill just rig it? I don’t remember if that was explained or not.

I know that originally there was a trap for some random person, and then it became Strahm’s execution trap but we see it was John Kramer who made it, what did he intend it for? And what’s the point of the glass anyway if it doesn’t do anything?

Was it to brutal or confusing

It's an unofficial fan site, but some folks at Microsoft have seen it and the demand.

Xbox announced a non-committal reengagement with the BC program at GDC this year.

I can count three, maybe there’s more, but from memory, there’s Amanda (director commentary and deleted scenes said/show that her dad abused her), the woman in the spike trap (yes, she knew her daughter was also being abused by her husband, but this is sadly common with mother/daughter abuse cases as frequent abuse by a partner can be extremely complicated), and a woman that participated in Bobby Dagen’s support group.

Sure, John’s traps are designed to see if you have what it takes to survive, but there are sooo many more people that deserve to be tested imo.

Amanda was tested because she was a drug addict, but the two latter women were tested because they didn’t do anything about being abused. Again, extremely complicated and especially so when it’s difficult to provide evidence and have your abuser convicted and jailed.

John obviously would have a sense to know about how difficult abuse cases can be, since Cecil, while you might not consider it frequent abuse since it was Jill’s chosen job, Cecil did take advantage of her kindness, and then did assault her, resulting in Gideon’s death. I’d assume that they filed a police report against Cecil, yet he was never found and charged. It was apparently weeks to months between the events of Gideon’s death and Cecil’s test. While it’s not hard to imagine that he evaded the police since they’re quite incompetent in the Saw series, still, you’d think John would understand abuse victims and how difficult abuse situations can be.

Also, why did John choose an actual innocent person? Joyce didn’t know that Bobby was a liar and she had absolutely no way to survive by herself, she had to completely rely on Bobby. It was completely unfair to her.

Thoughts?

Hey just on my yearly rewatch of the saw movies and a thought crossed my mind about how some of the traps are impossible minus the implied impossible ones of Amanda’s doing. I have so many that come to mind but an easy one for me to point at is the publicist in saw 7(the final chapter) there is no way she was going to make it out of that. Now some traps I will happily debate could be done but would be very difficult but I wanted to open the discussion up what traps did you feel were impossible to escape?

i think it's time for a remake the franchise has been going on since 03 it's time for an upgrade lol
