The most disturbing installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw's most personal game.
Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer -- only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable.

Reviews
- "You don’t need to watch the other movies in the SAW series to enjoy this one, but it will help. With some Avengers-style phone calls in Act One and a mid-credits kicker, this is SAW in the superhero age. It’s a flick for the die-hard fans that rewards those who keep asking for more. After a decade as Halloween’s most hyped-up annual release in the aughts, SAW is finally back this October to tell Taylor Swift she’s not the only one doing vigilante shit. Congrats, Tobin. You deserve this one."
- IndieWire - "By cleverly setting its timeline between the series’ first two installments, SAW X is both an invigorating thrill ride on par with the franchise’s best entries and a trenchant, timely charge against industrial systems set in place to keep humans sick."
- The Daily Beast - "Greutert’s film brings back the core elements that made these movies work. It’s an uncomplicated, effective horror thriller, even though it’s trapped itself in the past with nowhere else to go."
