The best thing the Saw franchise could do is step away from its tangled present-day continuity. Thankfully, this is what Saw X does. Saw VI and Saw 3D director Kevin Greutert returns to helm the tenth bloodthirsty entry, which is a direct sequel to James Wan's original (it's Saw 1.5 if we're being literal). The rare Saw film that heavily focuses on Tobin Bell's iconic Jigsaw, Saw X borrows a page from Don't Breathe 2 by making Jigsaw the "hero" — a trick they end up executing cleanly enough to make this one of the better Saw movies in Lionsgate’s hit-or-miss gore-a-torium franchise.
