While it seemed like the Saw franchise might continue veering into new and different directions following the release of 2021’s Spiral, any such expectations were flipped on their heads with the upcoming arrival of Saw X. The latest project from returning director Kevin Greutert will feature the longtime star Tobin Bell reprising the role of John “Jigsaw” Kramer, this time for a story that’s outwardly being promoted as a prequel narrative set between the timelines of the first two films. And we now have our best idea yet of what to expect, thanks to the release of Saw X’s first trailer.
After watching the preview for the upcoming horror movie, which is now set to release in September after it was shifted forward from its Halloween week premiere, I have some questions about how the story will shake out for Jigsaw, his victims, and the apprentice(s) we’ll see. Check out the trailer again, or for the first time, and join me in pondering a few things below.
