Also, you don’t find out the outcome of this trap. Without the impending death, smashing jars to find a key with a bat actually seems fun? Just make sure you don’t beat the crap out of anyone! And watch out for the bomb!ĭespite (or maybe because of) the 3-D gimmick, this installment is unfortunately full of duds. Since when did Jigsaw’s inspiration switch up from Rube Goldberg to American Gladiators? He must cross an obstacle-ridden bridge to do this. The protagonist must give the victim a key to unlock a device that will eventually hang him. You have to wonder if Jigsaw had off-days or left his office/torture chamber to go grab a beer early on a Friday and just clocked out on some of these. Sure, razor wire shredding into your skin is horrible, but there’s zero creativity here.Īnother mailed-in trap: A woman is chained up, and unless the protagonist saves her, will freeze to death via extremely cold water. The razor wire maze may have been mind-blowing back in 2004, but once you see the rest of Jigsaw’s traps as the series progresses, it just seems run-of-the-mill. Point of order: The main focus of these rankings is traps, not trials traps used more than once weren’t included.
(Note: Hall willingly agreed to this assignment.) The main thing to know about Saw’s villain, Jigsaw, is that he doesn’t technically murder his victims: he puts them in intricate traps, and lets them decide how far they’re willing to go to save their own lives. With Spiral, Chris Rock’s new entry into the series, hitting theaters this Friday, GQ contributor Kevin Hall watched all eight films, from 2004’s original to 2017’s Jigsaw, in order to RANK. The twisted Saw movie universe has pushed audiences to the brink with gore and violence since 2004, more than earning its place in the dubious genre of “ torture porn” along the way.
