Saw X
Wow, it’s hard to believe this is really #10 in the ever-so-popular “Saw” horror franchise. Well, are you ready to witness victims playing for their lives in a sadistic game of death or mutilation? I’ve actually only seen Saw I️ & III, Jigsaw, and Saw 3D. This film apparently takes place between I️ & II. When John Kramer (Tobin Bell) aka Jigsaw is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, he seeks out an experimental cure in Mexico. After given a clean bill of health from his expensive treatment, he discovers it was all an elaborate scam so then the twisted mind of the Jigsaw Killer plots his revenge on those who deceived him. If you have seen any of the previous “Saw” films, you’ll know what to expect… gruesome, bloody. horrific displays of torture & deaths. You have to be a little twisted to enjoy this type of abusive treatment. However, the revenge factor may play a part in wanting to see the participants get what they deserve. Can your brain stomach the gut wrenching scenes? Will this be the final episode of the franchise? Look for a mid credit scene tying up loose ends.
Alien gives it 3 “Código” stars out of 4.
