Why it’s HorroRated

Saw X is the most character-driven entry in the franchise since the second film, giving Tobin Bell the room to build John Kramer as a tragic figure rather than a mythology vehicle. The Mexico setting and the prequel placement give it breathing room the recent entries lacked. A real recalibration that serves the character well.

Synopsis

Saw X is a prequel set between the first and second films giving Tobin Bell the most sustained screen time in the franchise's history. Kevin Greutert directs with confidence in the material and the result is the most character-driven entry since the second film. A real recalibration that serves John Kramer well.
