I like how, despite all her crazy, Amanda still has a soft spot to protect the kids, and how she genuinely got upset when Cecilia killed Gabriella. It lines up with how she protected Detective Eric Matthews’ son in the 2nd game, and one other instance, that I can’t mention to after y’all have seen the other movies.

I would say this is the most wholesome saw movie.

Fun fact: Tobin, who is 81, was actually waterboarded for that scene. He wanted to delve fully into character as he always does. There BTS footage of it.

I don’t understand why some people are mad about the traps being unbeatable and them not really having a chance to begin with. Like John said “you took the one thing they had left, hope”. So what does John do? He took away their hope. And even then they all still technically had a chance. They just weren’t quick enough and wasted time. Something they took away from all the patients they were “helping”. I loved this one, tbh this probably is the final Saw and I’d say they ended it right if it is

His moments with Carlos makes me think of how John would’ve been if he gotten to be a dad..😢

When Cecilia pulled that bag and the timer started and Hello Zepp kicked in, I had literal chills in the theater

What's so fascinating about the Jigsaw/John Kramer character is that he believes he's the hero. He believes his moral code is extreme but just. And Tobin Bell plays the character exactly that way, so earnest in "helping" people. God, it was so great to get to see Tobin in the role from start to finish, really sinking his teeth into the meat of the performance. Amazing to see him still acting at 81.

I love that this film delved more into the dynamic between John and Amanda. And that we got a little sprinkle of Hoffman at the end. We didn't get much of the John-Amanda apprentice vibes because the plot twist happened at the end of 2 and Amanda dies at the end of 3. So it was definitely nice to see their relationship blossom into what we see when 3 rolls around. I have a feeling that the events of this movie probably solidified Amanda's idea that people can't be rehabilitated and put the idea of unwinnable traps in her head. Especially when Cecilia had that little boy dragged into this. She was absolutely vile. Scamming dying people out of their money and giving them false hope to cling to and then LYING about it is so wild. Glad she got played in the end. Cecilia: You've beaten me at my own game John: Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player

6:34 This is what made this movie and its twist so good. They may have put themselves in a corner by revealing the major plot of the movie in the trailer, but since it has multiple outs and explanations, it still leaves the viewer guessing. It's SO great.

Saw X immediately went to my top spot in the Saw franchise. I'm a huge Saw fan, and Part 6 was originally my favorite. Saw X did so much right in my opinion. This was the Saw movie they've needed to make for years now, as opposed to Spiral and Jigsaw (I did like Spiral, though). The part where Valentina's body just flops down in the background is both horrifying and hilarious. Great movie!

You need to remember that the point of the traps are to not hesitate. Any hesitation could be life or death. Perfectly displayed in Valentino's and Mateo's trap

he’s not dumb for believing the procedure, he was desperate and wanted to believe that he has a real chance of living. also the point of giving them false hope went over your heads bc all he was doing was doing to them what they did to him. that was the whole point lol

Awesome reaction ❤ Interesting fact : they actually water boarded Tobin Bell ( there's behind the scenes footage). The man is 81 years old and his dedication to his role is absolutely amazing.

My first language is spanish so it was okay for me, but I find it so annoying for people that don't understand it when movies don't have subtitles if the main language is not being used, so much can be lost 😔 Awesome movie non the less. Great reaction guys! Love you ❤ Sorry for my english hehe

I really wish this trailer was like the original Saw trailers where they didn't let you know shit. Going into this one, you knew immediately not to trust anyone. Still a damn good movie.

When the poster for Saw X was released with the eyes and the tubes, myself and others were speculating what the trap did. We didn't guess a vacuum and instead guessed what would go through the tubes TO the eyes: acid, boiling oil, fire ants, bleach... and then we started getting goofy with lemon juice, tarantula hair and shampoo. And then one person did guess it was a vacuum, and I had hoped not. But it turned out not to look disappointing! Very nasty.

The way the story is set up was partially the reason for my smile,because I knew revenge was coming. Bell is as terrific as ever and it was great to see Shawnee Smith on the big screen after all these years. Praise to all of the other actors who had to endure a lot physically. The sinister characters,ultra cruelty all highly entertaining. Sure some of what the characters are forced to and reluctantly have to do is over the top but I knew what I was in for and embraced it. When the after credits scene started playing I said wow this movie gave me everything I wanted.

A majority of your concerns with John’s actions are mixed with the fact that you really don’t know Hoffman and Amanda’s full stories, especially in 5-7

I just call it saw x. It’s honestly probably my fav one now and I saw it in theater twice. Can’t wait to own it on dvd

hands down one of the best saw movies

What a nice surprise! I had no idea this movie was even streaming yet!

It makes me wonder if Gabriella could have survived if Amanda hadn’t changed the test order. John would treat Gabriella with what he could, while Amanda set up the brain surgery. Maybe moved her to another room or something, away from Cecilia. On the other hand, Parker showed up before test 2, and if both Amanda and John were busy after test 2, Parker could have switched it up sooner. Or, since they were greedy people, might have waited for Mateo to die so they could keep more money.

Saw X is for sure one of the best films of 2023 for me. I was super surprised with how much I liked this one. It felt... different from what I was used to seeing. It didn't start off in some dark and gritty looking area nor did it start off with a person in a trap. This was more of an emotional and plot driven story this time. It showed us something we didn't really see before. We get to see a different side to John and we see more of him. Maybe more so than 2 ever did. Loved the relationship between John and Amanda in this one as well. X made me kind of liked Amanda again. 3 and 6 really ruined her character for me and for the longest time, I've held such contempt for her. Liked that she kind of got a bigger role here. Hell, even the musical score is different here too. Charlie brought in some really nice calmer, warmer and more emotional cues. I was so caught off guard with how sublime it was. Was shocked hearing more choirs and solo female vocals. Was really giving me Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon vibes for some reason and I ain't even mad about it. Hopefully Charlie Clouser will do more music like this in the near future. Of course, we still get our usual Saw traps and the like too! I really do not know which trap is my favorite in this one. They all were unique and cool in my opinion. I think its tied with the eye trap, the razor wire trap or the brain trap. I do also like the bomb and Gabriela's traps were cool too! The ending was nice too. Seeing John, Amanda and Carlos walking into the sunrise was sublime and liked seeing Hoffman in the post credit scene as well.

I was soooo lucky i didn’t pay attention to the trailers, this was by far my favorite Saw honestly

Yes, it was important to watch Saw IV before this one, only because of Hoffman. Other ones are not connected to this specific story, because this happened somewhere between Saw 1 and 2. There are stuff in Saw VI related to surgery, but the fans are not sure if it has anything to do with a "surgery" from this movie. It wasn't explained.

With Jigsaw it’s like… you shouldn’t be stealing… but you also shouldn’t be breaking ppl’s fingers and sucking their eyes out for stealing. 😵‍💫🤟🏾😂

He removed the gun powder (and I assume primer caps) from the bullets. Primer caps also have their own explosive and the reason why Brandon Lee died on the set of "The Crow" is because some of the bullets didn't have their primers removed, so when one shot was fired in testing it caused a bullet to go off with enough force to get stuck in the barrel, a second shot during the actual filming of a scene dislodged that bullet and sent it flying at Brandon, killing him.

37:57 the moment Cecilia killed Gabriela after she beat Johns game and future experiences with Xavier and Eric Matthews since this before saw 2. are what made Amanda Realize Johns philosophy was flawed and lose faith Im not gonna say what the final Breaking point on what led her to go rogue and kill lynn from saw 3 Since yall havent gotten to Saw 6 yet Which explains

I’m not a big fan of horror movies in general, but I do love your reactions to them so it kind of softens the blows🤣🤣

John told them from the get go not to hesitate. Their hesitation is exactly why they lost their games.

Ik ur not supposed to feel bad for any of the drs but i feel bad for Gabriella ik she was apart of it but she passed her test man she didn't deserve to die like that

AYEEEEE i'm hella early, this is sick. i hope you guys enjoyed the film, i loved how they delved further into the mind of john and his dynamic with amanda brought a very wholesome take to the franchise. can't wait to watch what you guys think!!

Bridget's timing on the "game over" was perfect

Saw x tbh is my personal perfect saw , also the 3 minute timer I truly believe it’s the creators not having a grasp on time rather than John not giving them a chance. It’s clearly intended to be possible but they definitely underestimated it

I loved this movie ❤

The first 2 people spent so long at the start, both wasted a minute out of the 3 doing nothing, it was very doable.

I reload/handload bullets as a hobby, and I just noticed something very cool about the scene where John is disabling the gun. It's implied that he dumped the powder from all of the bullets and replaced them in the magazine, so if someone were to remove the magazine and glance at the bullets everything would appear normal, BUT... we only see him dump the powder from one bullet, which means... A bullet with a good primer but no gunpowder still has just enough oomph to leave the casing and get stuck inside the barrel, that's called a squib load. IF there's nothing wrong with the next bullet, and you cycle the action and attempt to fire again without checking the barrel for an obstruction, there's a very very high chance of the gun exploding in your hands due to the extreme back pressure caused by the bullet stuck inside the barrel. You can imagine the possible damage this could do to the person holding it. Best case scenario, it permanently disables that weapon and you're rattled for the rest of the year. Worst case scenario, you take barrel shrapnel to the face/neck area, lose your hands, eyes, sever an artery, etc. So, in a way, the gun is its own Jigsaw trap. I would like to THINK that is why they show John only actually tampering with just one bullet, but John would have to be banking on someone not cycling the action twice and ejecting the tampered bullet, which would ruin that whole plan. Still, it's something fun to ponder and very much a realistic threat.

Moral of the story don’t con cancer patients that are in their 80s.

They all deserved the traps in this movie. I've always liked John but this movie really made me cheer for him. I like that it's all about him and he's the protagonist essentially. That bitch dr was giving everyone shit advice so they'd lose their traps. And the first one the belt used to cut off circulation wouldn't have worked it can't be tied tight enough to cut off enough blood flow. She would have bled out. I also love John relationship with Carlos that kids a badass

I remember talking to soeone after Saw 3 (I think it is, when the doctor has to keep John alive while her husband works through the traps and letting go of his dead son) that opening the skull would not be that bad. The brain has no nerve endings that would trigger pain, even during regular brain surgery the patient is usually awake and doing things because if the patient start to slur when talking the doctors know they are pushing on something they should not touch. The cranium as well is just bone, with no nerves in it so no pain there either. It's mainly the removal of the skin above the cranium that will hurt like a mothertrucker. It is still traumatizing like hell to inflict that pain on yourself, not to mention fighting all your body's self-preservation systems to keep opening the skull and meddle around in there.

49:23 it is weird that John was concerned about Carlos and not the others, but I think the reason John was concerned was that he had no connection with anyone in the game, not to mention how he knew Carlos as a friend

when I say I'm watching every SAW X reaction I mean it >:] I love this movie so much, so happy we got to see more of John in this one and that you can kinda relate to John in a way

I'm glad you guys are watching this. Great reaction. If you had of finished the core series you would have known, you didn't need the trailer. Each movie in the core leads to this in a roundabout way. Because you know the movies are telling what happened to John in those three to four months.😂

I got done watching saw x today and I started routing for John Kramer and Amanda and as always love your reaction

This actually makes me so sad for John even with all the terrible stuff he has done

John Kramer still has it- deadlier, torturous devices in every movie in this franchise!!! The first kill in this movie was very creative!!!!

saw x left me with a saw head

"Epic bad luck." I never thought I would want more Hoffman. But I do want more Hoffman.

The first trap for Valentina was very fair to her. If she (or any of them) knew enough about medicine or surgery, they'd understand the importance of the tourniquet. If she grabbed the tourniquet first she would have unlimited time to allow the bloodflow to be cut off before she picked up the Gigli saw which begins the timer. By then she has more than enough time to extract enough bone marrow. Took me like two react channels to figure this out.

The brain itself can't feel pain, as it has no pain receptors of its own.

Fun fact. We techs can’t tell you results, only the doctor can. We can’t read results as our job is to scan ya/Draw blood and send it off to the lab to be analyzed 😂 2:45 2:47

Fun Fact: Saw X is a direct sequel to the first Saw film and a prequel to Saw 2

I absolutely love this film , to get some more backstory between John and Amanda.

This is one of my favorites. It goes into the story of John Kreamer. Tobins performance was some of his best work to date. He performed it like it was his last performance ever.

I’m actually not super high on Saw X. I think it’s in the middle of the series for me, I think it’s well acted and I’m glad Tobin Bell got a chance to really shine because he’s so important to the franchise. I like that it fleshed out John and Amanda’s relationship. But because it was told from his perspective they had to totally morally shift the perspectives. She had to become cartoonishly evil in the end, and they had to bring the kid in to try to make John seem more “good”. I think the movie is very good until the third act, where it really falls apart for me. Which is weird for Saw movies because usually they build to a great ending even when the movies aren’t that good.

The timers on the second and third trap should have been stopped as soon as they did the things they needed to do. The only reason they didn't make it was because the machines that were supposed to finish the puzzle were slow and they had no power over making them go faster. That's on John and he gets points for being legit ticked off at these people but if he wanted to give a fair chance to them, he messed up. The nurse also had incomplete instructions because if she had been told first to get the tourniquet on before anything else, she would have made it. That's on John and Amanda.

For the first time, I'm actually excited for the next Saw movie to come out

I never watched a trailer for this - and I am so glad that I hadn't. Trailers spoil way too much for sure.

I’ve heard that the actress for Amanda hated that she was her most well known role for the longest time. Hopefully with this movie that’s no longer the case, Amanda Young is an icon/legend/the moment and Mark Hoffman could NEVER!

38:06 missed opportunity bridge said gab nailed that. instead of she smashed it

"He doesn't talk when he's behind the observe window" 😂😂😂

What?? Its already out on streaming?? That was fast!!!

Pro Tip - don't watch anymore trailers ! UGH You spoiled the movie before it even started 😕

The only movie franchise that makes you root for the bad guy lol

they're just a father and daughter who murder-bonded idk it was cute!

Well tbf both matao and Valentina wasted almost a full minute not doing anything and that costed them had they not wasted so much time they would have survived I do think those people definitely deserved it for scamming dying people who do end up kicking the bucket later except for Gabriela sucks Cecelia killed her

John took the gunpowder out of the bullets

You’re reactions will be TOP TIER once people find you. I just did and you’re now a staple! You two are hilarious!

2:45 Such a wholesome photo. Old interracial couple about to share a CBD joint for their joint pains.

Not them feeling bad for scammers💀💀

This movie is literally the best of the franchise followed closely by saw 2. At the end of all the movies I hope you guys do a movie rank! I’d love to see it!

47:25 yep. Goosebumps in the theater.

39:16 when i saw John holding his both fist hands i immediately knew that this was his plan

So (this is quite morbid but my curiosity did get the better of me) you can find actual medical amputation videos on KZfaq with a Gigli Saw and the procedure only takes about 30sec to a minute long to execute. It’s kind of frightening but totally doable… now obviously it’s a movie, and a pretty mean spirited one, but it is technically plausible. Of course the film also needs to build the most tension possible so having everything come down to the wire (lol) makes sense. Pitfalls and all I love the Saw series. I’ve always found them incredibly entertaining and the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. Saw X is definitely second to III, if not tied in my personal list. It’s just a great contained story and I was emotionally torn the whole watch through. So good!

Jigsaw basically removed the gun powder from the bullets. So when the guy thought he had a loaded gun he didn’t have anything

That’s why I avoid trailers as much as possible for things I’m looking forward to lol. It’s too bad it reveals so much. Edit to add more thoughts, here are my personal trap rankings; Eyeball Trap 9/10 Arm Bomb 10/10 Leg/Bone Marrow 7/10 Brain/Mayan Mask 8/10 Radiation Trap 2/10 Blood-boarding 8/10 Gas Trap 8/10 These rankings are based on how cool they are, survivability and plot progression The eyeball one was a great concept! Loved the theme of greedy eyes and greedy hands. Only thing that didn’t work for me is what happens after he fails? Does he just sit there and starve to death as punishment? But I can forgive that a bit as it’s literally a rough draft on the spot haha. Good on that dude to put the jewelry back For the arm bombs, traps where the victim survive are satisfying. You did it, buddy! It was brutal watching him tear into his flesh. Falling to the floor as the bomb explodes behind him was awesome and dramatic The leg trap is serviceable. God, seeing her stab herself in the bone made me wince. Dying by beheading isn’t anything new. While it’s frustrating how close she got to surviving, I think it was needed for the plot so less characters are talking over one another at the end. …She would have definitely bled out from cutting a major artery too, this trap is not survivable Having to cut out a piece of your brain is not a trap I would have ever thought of. Gruesome to watch, I loved it. Dude also needed to die for the same reason as the previous trap. But this death was much more satisfying as his face burned to a crisp in a Mayan mask John did NOT do his homework on radiation!! Gabriella isn’t going to appreciate life in the hospital. If it was so much exposure that her skin burned badly… her immune system is now gone. New cells can’t be generated so her skin will sloth off her body. Her digestive system will shut down, unable to absorb any of the nutrients that food is fed to her. That’s if she can keep food down anyway… breathing will feel like getting stabbed by a thousand knives if she ends up with fluid buildup in her lungs. Breaking her bones to become free isn’t anything new to the franchise. I only enjoyed the two twists that 1. The machine moved with her and 2. Showed how evil Cecilia is when she killed her. Amanda’s despair broke my heart The blood-boarding was simple enough. A nice spin on regular water-boarding. Great dynamic between John, Carlos and Amanda!! Finally… you know shit’s real when that theme song plays. Very clever to hide a gas trap with the empty money bag. “Where’s the money?” Are you sure, with a timer and blaring sirens, that money is gonna be your biggest concern? Gas was a great way to get that couple to turn on each other. Cecilia may have won… but John didn’t let her out of that room. He didn’t say it out loud, but John definitely wanted her to die all by herself up there. Alone. I was so so happy to get a movie Saw fans could enjoy. One that took itself seriously! I desperately want to believe the next couple of films will meet the same standards.

At first i was like,did i get the right movie? i was expecting gore,then it started and i regret it by asking for gore haha,such a great movie.Happy new year guys.

43:46 he took the gun powder out of the bullets, so the gun wouldnt shoot

I kinda wish the staff team would ask for traps made by fans. There's a museum of executions in Utah and one method showcased a gallow with a bucket tied to the noose. The inmate would fill the bucket and hang himself with it.

I believe it was Chucky who said it best. “Some people just deserve to die!”

Twist endings ate kinda a SAW thing. Love this series. Especially the way 7 ties all the way back to 1. Can't wait to see the rest of the reactions

14:03 ok, I loved the way he spoke in Spanish

I wanted her to have the most gruesome death of all and was very much not satisfied when the movie ended

I LOVE the Kill Reviews. Do you think when you are done with the SAWs you would do a compilation video that goes from your lowest score to highest for the traps/kills? That would be cool to see how they all rank.

What i like about the end of saw X is the chance of multiple possibilities, like the earlier saws had.. Imagine Parker keeping the rules, he would end up in the bloodboarding with cecilia, and they would try to save themselves on by pulling the lever. Another chance was PArker not going by the rules, and putting amanda and john in the trap. And than there is the unforseen thing, Carlos... But the end twist trap was the b plan, if parker and cecilia failed to be in the bloodboarding trap toigether, they ahd to fight against eachother again, for survival. Even if the twist itself was a bit weaker, the idea behind it is very solid imo

Great reaction as always! I had epiphany , the Saw franchise is basically soap opera horror and I am here for it.

The thing is even if you escape a trap - you’ll be waking up in a cold sweat everyday

Never thought I'd hear a Man of Steel and Saw comparison, but I am happy Cody put those words into the universe 😅

@5:42 Let me just say that eye sucking trap..I sure didn't see that coming. :)

was so excited for your reaction for this movie!!

Bridgette was expecting some of that Kill Bill action in the hospital lol.

That Celia girl kept telling them the wrong way to do things to waste more time so she can be the only one left to survive .

i mean the girl at 24 minutes in, the leg girl-- it's not really bullshit. she hesitated for a long time, same with the veterinarian guy. they had 3 minutes but both wasted at least a minute or more in denial rather than going straight to it. and both barely failed. if they had just did the tasks right away they'd have finished with time to spare so. not unbeatable, not even close to unbeatable.

I like how john is willing to endure his own trap to help save the kid. John was going to be a father but that was taken away by cecil adams.

This is so not the kind of thing I usually notice in a film, but I just did watching your reaction. This is set between the first 2 Saw movies, and John Kramer sent an email for the trial with Gmail. Gmail came out in 2004, and there's no way John's old ass jumped to a brand new email address! He'd still be on AOL. And if he did jump to Gmail, it would have been early enough to get his name without the 994. Hold on, I think I just got a job with Cinemasins! Also I knew the brain surgery in this was faked because John didn't have a scar already when Lynn actually gave him brain surgery.

32:52 Gabriella’s reaction, me when I just miss getting into the restroom before someone else gets to use it first

I saw this at the cinema, and it's up there with my favourites of the franchise. However, I sat in the front row so that no one could see me close my eyes during the leg trap! Just listening to the screams was enough for me 😀😀

The Eye Trap brought me back to the first time I saw The Reverse Bear Trap. The effects, the lighting, the voice, the atmosphere

He's never killed any kids they few he did kidnapped always survived

I love watching these saw reactions, can't wait to see the rest
