You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite Saw movie. Lots of people stick to the original, but there are plenty of interesting options. Maybe you like the team project energy of Saw V, the Dr. Gordon reveal in Saw VII, or the Uno-reverse twist of Saw X. But for me, the answer is clear: Saw II, because I’m a fan of Darren Lynn Bousman.
Bousman wrote a completely separate script called The Desperate that was rejected for being too similar to Saw. But when Saw producers heard wind, he was brought on to direct the hit movie’s sequel. He then went on to direct Saw III and Saw IV. As such a key part of Saw’s history, Inverse spoke with Bousman about the franchise’s recent troubles and what could lie in the future.
