What to Know

Critics Consensus

Led by a franchise-best performance from Tobin Bell, Saw X reinvigorates the series with an installment that has a surprising amount of heart to go with all the gore.

Audience Says

Adding dimension to the franchise's main characters while still leaving plenty of room for the gruesomely graphic horror these movies are known for, Saw X might be the best sequel in the series so far.

Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Charles Bramesco Inside Hook X frames Kramer like a tragic hero instead of a complete maniac with a thing for Rube Goldberg homicide, and swears by the wobbly moral mechanism he believes will balance his soul’s ledger. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (2) David Sims The Atlantic [Previous reboots] both failed to grasp Kramer’s star power. Saw X does not make that mistake, leading to one of the franchise’s strongest installments since the original, mostly because it gives Jigsaw center stage. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Joshua Rothkopf Los Angeles Times [Tobin Bell's] half-cracked grandeur, boosted by [Shawnee] Smith’s skewed stares of adoration, sends the movie into a loopy giddiness. Saw X may not be the best one to start off with, but it’s hard to imagine a better one to end with. Oct 2, 2023 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Saw X is a much-needed return to form for the franchise, combining its trademark gore with surprising character depth. Rated: 8.5/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rocco T. Thompson Daily Dead It may have taken nine films to get there, but Saw X finally figures out that playing to its strengths and getting in on the joke is the best way out of its own trap. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) John Kramer: antihero is so, so much more interesting than anything this franchise has done in eons.

Marlena Love love love it ! Cant wait until the second part ! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Jason by far the worst song movie Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Andrew pretty good fell in line of what you expect from a saw movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Juandi This movie is so overhyped. It’s very repetitive & completely predictable from start to finish. I should’ve went with my gut & skipped this. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Joanie I'm a huge fan of this series and this one is by far my new favorite. It's interesting to see Jigsaw put into an anti-hero role. Surprisingly wholesome with some fun cameos from fan favorites with some really good plot twists! I'd love to see more like this, and, as always, Tobin Bell is a treasure. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Dj A good all around movie. The violence wasnt everything I wanted but it met the plot. Im anticipated another chapter. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
