I've been waiting for over a decade. Almost got my wish in 2017 with Jigsaw. Almost got my wish again with Spiral. But, then I saw that this wouldn't be a direct sequel for Saw 3D. Instead it fits right between Saw and Saw II.
Well, beggars can't be choosers. Maybe since the box office numbers were good, it resurrected the series and we can get one final sequel to Saw 3D before it's too late to still include Tobin Bell.
Saw X follows John Kramer as the protagonist this time around. John finds out his time is very limited. But he finds out from a close friend that there is an experimental procedure he can have that would rid him of his cancer.
After undergoing "surgery" John finds himself to have been conned by all the medical staff and the guy who told him about it, as well as the other "patients" that were present for their procedures.
This is where Saw becomes Saw, as usual. I think the filmmakers missed making the audience squirm in their seats because these traps/games meet new levels of gore. It was uneasy to watch a lot of it.
However, I didn't have to worry about much in the film, while cheering for John. Since this is a prequel, we know that John makes it out unscathed and we know that the "bad guys" don't.
Kevin Greutert returns as director again, Charlie Clouser returns to do the music again. Both are a treasure to have back. They really bring the it factor to Saw.
Saw X is well-done. Although I desire a sequel that continues the story of what happened after Saw 3D, it's still able to entertain and fill that void that's been missing for over 10 years.
