In a thrilling and terrifying video, the incredible behind-the-scenes footage from the movie “Saw X” is shown. When the first “Saw” film hit theaters in 2004, it shocked and scandalized audiences with its gory traps and killer twist ending. It quickly earned $103 million against its $1.2 million budget, thus kickstarting an entire subgenre of torture-based horror and giving birth to a franchise that’s claimed the lives of countless onscreen victims.
The “Saw” franchise is like a horror movie villain—indestructible and unkillable. As any good movie ending has taught us, as soon as you think the villain is dead, it comes back for more. The same lesson applies to John Kramer and all his terrible traps. Nearly two decades after the first film, we’re now set for a 10th installment in the “Saw” franchise: “Saw X.”
“Saw X” will hit theaters on September 29, 2023, just in time for Halloween season. It promises to kick off a blood-soaked celebration in a year packed with horror titles. This installment takes place after the original “Saw” but before “Saw II,” focusing on John Kramer’s final days as he battles cancer and seeks a miracle cure in Mexico City.
Tobin Bell reprises his iconic role as John Kramer, emphasizing his central role in this film. The cast also includes new faces, with Shawnee Smith returning as Amanda Young. While “Saw X” doesn’t follow the narrative of “Spiral,” it brings the series back to its roots with gruesome traps and mind-bending challenges.
Director Kevin Greutert, a “Saw” veteran, describes “Saw X” as a return to the franchise’s core, exploring John Kramer’s character more deeply than ever before. This installment was shot on location in Mexico City, marking a significant shift in the series’ setting.
“Saw X” is set to deliver an intense and bloody experience, with new traps designed to shock and terrify audiences. While it doesn’t rewrite the franchise’s timeline, it offers an exciting return to Jigsaw’s world. The future of the “Saw” franchise depends on how well “Saw X” is received, but for now, it promises to deliver classic “Saw” horror with a fresh twist.
