Man, they need to let the franchise just die. No movie needs 9 sequels.

I loved the first one. The others are hit and miss.

They tried to make the story more twisty and I think screwed it up

It only took like 4 movies to turn into the standard 'gore for the sake of gore' horror cliché. The original premise was good, but they didn't know when to stop.

I will not spoil anything but I thought Saw X was very good. Not just as a horror movie but as a movie.

Tobin Bell just plays the character so damn good. HIs timing and pacing are excellent. There are some scenes where everybody is laughing and you can tell it was planned.

Very solid, ending was a little rough but overall I thought it was a good experience.

The only thing I will note is this is supposed to happen between saw 1 and Saw 2. Amanda has aged enough it will throw you off.

Well now I'm actually interested.

I would say the first half is unlike any saw movie.

I truly enjoyed it.

I think the franchise should have died when they ran out of books.
