A new chapter in the “Saw” franchise is here.
In preparation for the milestone tenth film, we have a rundown of where you can see the previous “Saw” just in time for “Saw X.”
It all started in 2004 as an idea conjured up by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, two bestie Australian filmmakers who were fresh out of film school and eager to make a name for themselves in Hollywood.
The first “Saw,” which Whannell wrote and Wan directed, premiered on Oct. 29, 2004. Whannell, who also starred as Adam in the first film, went on to direct the next two films. “Saw III” ended up becoming the highest-earning film from the franchise ($165 million globally), per The Numbers.
The inspiration behind the film was rooted in one of Whannell’s real-life experiences. During an interview with the AV Club, Whannell said that at the age of 24, he started to have severe migraines, and out of fear of thinking it could be something more series like a brain tumor, he took it upon himself to go to the hospital and undergo a series of tests, including an MRI. And that’s where the origin story of “Saw’s” antagonist John “Jigsaw” Kramer came from.
Whannell’s hospital encounter spawned a billion-dollar franchise.
No more playing games, here’s where you can stream all the “Saw” films.
