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) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) John Kramer: antihero is so, so much more interesting than anything this franchise has done in eons. Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Allison Rose FlickDirect Saw X is probably one of the best Saw films in over ten years and has rejuvenated and refreshed the series. Rated: 4.5/5 Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Saw X | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation This is the best sequel of the bunch, and it may end up sitting at the top of the franchise. Beyond the shocking moments, this gives us the best John Kramer we have seen yet. Tobin Bell is brilliant. Rated: 8/10 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

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
