Hiiii so today I just got finished watching “jigsaw” which i hadnt seen since it came out in theaters like 4 yrs ago (i went rlly hungover by myself in an empty theater). Ive been rewatching all these movies in anticipation for “spiral” the chris rock starring “next chapter in the book of saw” which hopefully i go to w my gf on a date :).
But lately all this has got me thinking that these movies r actually pretty fun and dumb and totally worth the roughly 14-15 hrs of ur life they take up (yeah theres 9 movies altogether) sooo im gon a give u al 9 reasons why saw is one of the best horror movie series/franchises etc. etc. etc.
Jigsaw did nothing wrong
Thats the first thing u have to understand to get into this series is that jigsaw is the only true anarchist to actually exist like the center figures in his “games” r usually morally corrupt powerful men or other ppl that have contributed to jon kramer (jigsaw’s) illness n death and they all somehow relate to him/eachother over the first 7 movies which is pretty epic. He does throw in other victims as well usually to test the morlITY Of his true “testees” (lol) and usually theyre like addicts or petty criminals or even chronic smokers but idk…. Even tho tnhey arent justified killings their lives r usually in the hands of the testee so jigsaw does make it a fair game, n also throwing in literally anybody proves that the mans just hates humanity or the system or whatever n theres some legit rlly profound n tender moments that force u to sit in kramesr mindset.
The Traps are Dope
If i dont hold back i could rank all 60-75 maybe “traps” featured in the series but like… they start simple… the bathroom… barbed wire maze… the bear trap… slowly become more elaborate n theatrical. I really like the movies that follow the “haunted house ride” format where ppl move thru a series of elimination based traps (that r all survivable btw), n some r just kinda rubegoldbergy. If u like trinkets n gears n toys n machines n cogs turning its really cool. Also the sheer theatricality of some of them queercodes jigsaw sorrrrryyyy xD.
It’s not That violent.
Alotta ppl dont wanna watch it bc they think its a gorefest and tbh i think the only movies that have rlly uncomfortable/challenging violence r 2 and 3 bc they have the darkest nature to them and not to be that girl but some of the scenes involve wrists/blood/needles etc and for me thats where im like ok noooooooooo thanks. But like… so much of the rest of the series the traps r so outlandish the ppl r so disposable n the blood/guts is so red and over the top sometimes that it becomes cartoony my good friend described it as “looney tunes violence” and that feels like quite accurate
It IS violent
Maybe im crazy but i think everyone should b exposed to some level of theatrical violence idk. Im all about sitting thru discomfort and stated in point 1, jigsaw is rlly complex n forcing urself to empathize with his actions i think is a rlly interesting testament to the characters writing. But like cmon, its amovie, ppl used to w acth executions all the time this scratches that same itch except its ok bc its all fake :)
The Women r Badddddddd :)
Amanda, jill TUCK, agent perez,,,, idk top 3 for me. Theres lots of annoying screamy girls which is like a horror trope but the women they give depth n character arcs too,,, like they rlly make the series n show that this isnt just a MANS game heehhehe, alsoooo they are all p hot especially movie 3 amanda like she rlly is that evil brunette baddie u all wish u had. Also jill tuck is jigsaws wife n she still stays loyal throughout all his shit so like… u all WISH u had a girl like that tbh.
The boys are CUtEEEE!!!!
The first movie has a jocky dr and a twink photographer battling oput for their life and the moment where they look like theyre gonna kiss is actually kindof hottttt (and the twink is the writer of the OG movie!!). Then u meet detective hoffmann whos sooooo bad n evil but kindof in a daddy way and tbh id let him raw me ooops. And then devin bostik the guy who palys rodrick in diary of a wimpy kid movie is another sweaty crying twink in saw 6 and hes kindof cute there toooooo lmao ik what yall like. Also to an extent jon kramer the jigsaw himself ends up benign kindof cute and homey/comforting like youll feel like amanda and jill by the end of the series.
3d boobie
7 is rlly gimmicky especially cause its in 3d, they rlly go ham w the digital 3d angles and you might even feel trapped too!!!! Bringing out the sensation in the movie 2 full force. But i think by far the best part is the opening trap where some broad hangs big fat double d’s over a blade n the camera shows the blades pov so u get a full shot of 3d boobie in ur face as well as some scary saws in ur face so its scary but also funny hehe.
It keeps going!
For a movie that started out as a short turned into feature, it has 8 sequels and 1-7 all tie together incredible seamlessly, i cant think of 2 many plotholes… even the spimoff series starting with jigsaw manages to add 2 the story even if its alittle dumb but the final twist n timeline jump ends up working!! And now i rlly have 2 see spiral.
Ummmm…. It’s all a game
Who doesnt love games? Everyone loves 2 play games which is why you should all watch :). Idk i cant think of a 9th reason bc i havent seen the 9th movie spiral yet,,, but i hope my GF goes on a date with me to see it pleaseeeee it’ll make mem really happy pleaseee pleaseee i love u its not that scary i promiseeeeeeee ok lemme know :)
