First Time Watching *SAW X* | Back And BETTER THAN EVER! (Movie Reaction) 

Saw XI has officially been announced for September 2024. We're so back

I love that they’re giving us more of a background on Amanda and why she decided to make her traps inescapable. Cecelia is probably one of the biggest reasons she believes people don’t deserve chances because they won’t change.

I love this movie so much ❤ By the way Tobin Bell was actually water boarded in that scene . There is behind the scenes footage of that . This man is 81 years old ... what he does for this role is absolutely amazing

While Tobin Bell 100% deserves *all* the praise for his portrayal of John over this franchise, we can't let Shawnee Smith as Amanda go unappreciated. This movie made me fall in love with her character all over again, and really drives home where she was coming from in Saw 3. Can't wait to see where this series goes from here.

The second trap collar should also be for Cecilia and Parker, keeping in mind that they already knew that Parker was part of it, and he would have to play against Cecilia. But John also predicted the Parker revealing himself, and planned it with Amanda. That's why John says "ONE WAY OR ANOTHER everything will go as planned"

honestly it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise the eye vacuum trap was just a fantasy. i watched it in the cinema like "YOO" and then i was really confused as to why it just cut away but decided to brush it off. literally didn't even clock it until a few days later that it didn't actually happen💀💀

I had heard there was a deleted scene at the end before John, Amanda, and Carlos left the warehouse. Apparently, after Cecilia screams "John" with her head in the porthole, John, Amanda, and Carlos look back at her. John then whispers something in Carlos' ear and Carlos looks to Cecilia and tells her, "Game over". I guess it was cut because they didn't want to make it seem like Carlos enjoyed what was going on.

Best horror movie of the year to me. As a Saw fan, they gave me everything I wanted. If Cecilia had died, it would've been a 10/10

81 years and still filming, the blood trap part, insane. For some reason I feel those cuts and pains like I'm inside of those things, other SAW movies didn't give me that vibe...

I am so glad that Saw is finally back properly, the traps in this one were giving me all the old-school vibes, and I also think that Valentina's trap (the leg with the wire trap) actually had enough time but she hesitated. Even John says "Don't hesitate because your time is prescribed."

29:32 He's designed several games where someone can't survive. Pretty much every trap in Saw 6 was like this, and Jigsaw planned all those out. Also, Amanda's trap in Saw 1 involved one person having to die; either her or the guy with the key inside him.

I’ve seen the og movies 100+ times each, easily , and Saw X is the first and only gory movie to make me nauseous with Valentina’s trap lol I had to leave the theater seat to sit in the aisle in case I had to run to puke , I’ve never done that in my life but that trap viscerally disturbed me with how real it looked lol - I was super upset that she died after doing the damn thing too

This entry is a perfect reason why it’s good to wait and not crank out sequels so fast. There is a call back to VI where he’s telling the insurance guy about experimental treatment in Norway. I love that there are so many webs woven. I loved that we got a “John” focused movie. And it really makes you feel for him. I’d love for them to do something similar that goes in between movies. Who knew how bad we would cheer in theaters for Hoffman?!?!? Also - you have great hair~

Not only do I think this is the best saw movie, I also think it's the best horror film of the year so far

i just watched the movie last night and i loved it 10/10 and i loved the ending at the bathroom bringing back hoffman

I love the scene where he sketches his traps in the park but then rips it out. Implying that now that he is free of worrying about death he can now live and doesn’t feel like he needs to “teach” people anything anymore and can just enjoy life

The first Saw movie to make me sob like a baby, lmao. Such a brilliant sequel. Exceeds the hype, for sure.

35:27 The reason John was so caring toward the kid was because he was at this point still grieving over the loss of his son; Gideon, that Jill lost from Cecil. Since that was his first trap and this movie takes place just after the first it would make sense for him to still grieve over the loss.

"John Kramer wouldn't design a game where one person has to die." Amanda had to kill a man to survive in Saw I. Morgan had to kill her abusive husband to survive in Saw IV

a lot of people wonder why her hair is like that but if you recall back when john re-introduces jill to amanda as proof of "being healed" her hair is almost exactly like that. her hair is a big indicator of whether she is relapsing/losing herself (long hair like her pre-bear trap and movie three) vs when she's trusting of john/"healed" (saw x and that flash back). in saw 2 her hair is grown out a little and wild again which shows her wavering state of mind

I went into this movie with very low expectations and I think I've seen it over 10 times at this point. It's so refreshing to be able to say Saw is good again without feeling the need to justify it.

I known that a lot of peoples already said this, but how many movies franchise, especially horror, can said that their 10 movies is one of their best movie

This is movie of the year for me. When you free watch it, you'll notice that she intentionally got all of them to fail their test.

BEST SAW MOVIE IN A LONG TIME! Cecilia stayed alive screw that im hoping for saw 11 already a sequel why the hell not

13:38 She says: "No money, no sex" (Sin dinero no hay sexo) And then he says: "We never talked about money" (Nunca hablamos de dinero) Why didn't they add subtitles to the Spanish scenes?

24:01 sadly though John warped Amandas mind. He made her emotionless and fucked up. You can see if you watch this, the first one and the third one. Her mental state just declined. I mean, in this you can tell shes struggling with watching the traps and somehow regrets it and john pushes her forward. It kinda reminds me of joker and Harley quinn in a weird way.

Not only is it a good Saw movie, but it's a great movie in general; I'm genuinely surprised at how good this movie was in the cinema.

i think the relationship with carlos is more symbolic of his son. because the whole reason he became jigsaw was the death of his son, especially since this movie happens immediately after saw 1 so his son died fairly recently.

Amanda isn't 'all' bad either! She felt bad for the little boy and the junkie So in theory, all the sadistic s*** that Amanda did wasn't like the default setting for her

"John wouldn't design a game where one person has to die" My man, I recomend rewatching the prievious movies, he kinda did that a lot. xD

i give the special effects team huge credit. i absolutely loved this movie

Little fun fact, that could've helped knowing the taxi driver was involved - in one side of his cab, the sign says TOURS MEXICO, but on the other side, the letters "DE" can be seen written in graffiti, spelling "DETOURS MEXICO" :))

The last trap was for Cecília and Parker. For this there are two places in the trap. Or John and Amanda for the case they took the gun. 🙂

I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it a week after it came out and the theater was empty. I was the only one in the theater so it was really fun to be able to not worry about speaking to loud

I loved the insight into Johns mind. Seeing a man steal and we see his mind start coming up with a trap to use on him. Then when the man changes his mind John tells him good choice meaning that was all in his head

Binged a bunch of your videos including this whole series, LOVE your channel. Genuinely got excited when I SAW this was up.

Just so much respect for Tobin bell at 81 to still be doing this role I LOVE him

Saw X is truly the return of Saw. Cecilia is by far the most hateful and best villain in the series, and we have never seen one of John's victims be an actual villain like her. Bad people yes, but not a VILLAIN. Mirroring his views, reflecting all of his bad things back to him. Everything she did that he judges her for, he has done as well. Giving people false hope: Mateo, but mostly Valentina doing the task they were told to do but only needing just a few more seconds until they won. Valentina showed her will to live more than anyone ever has in any trap before! Cecilia putting a child in a trap and killing parents which leads to orphaned children: John did and will do the same in the future, literally ordering Zepp to Kill Lawrence's Wife AND DAUGHTER for his test, and later on kidnapping Corbett and killing both Jeff and Lynn, leaving her an orphan, while also locking her in a room with limited oxygen (apparently according to him at the end of Saw 3), and of course Daniel Matthews as well in Saw 2. Cecilia is also a great turning point for Amanda, being where her belief in John's methods finally changes. She does not believe that Cecilia deserves a second chance, or anything for that matter. Those beliefs only get stronger later on after meeting Xavier and Eric Matthews. I cannot wait to see where Saw 11 will go, chances are very high we'll see Cecilia again and delve further into Amanda's changed beliefs and her turning into the killer she ended up as!

John is my idol when it comes to risk analysis/mitigation skills... 😂 I guess it makes sense. He was an engineer for so many years, so it's likely he knows the importance of finding and accounting for all possible risks. Granted, he definitely didn't account for someone else aside from Amanda ending up in the trap with him, but the backup plan still overcame it.

24:55 the special effects at this part are so real James wan and Leigh wanell never fail to impress me

this was basically John Kramer's "Logan" movie and it was so worth the wait *FINAL DESTINATION 5* and *EASY A* are both available for Full Length on Patreon! www.patreon.com/professorreactions

I think the kid represents the child he and Jill never got to have

I didnt pay attention to the trailer. I remember hearing him go “You all pretended to cure me” i had thought that meant that they tried and thought they cured him but he found out they failed. So when it was revealed to be a scam i was completely thrown for a loop

So happy that you appreciate Saw III more now, because it's my absolute favorite

We finally know where John got all his money to buy equipment. It all comes back around

On my first watch I was confused by the decision to have so many of the victims ALMOST save themselves but I think the idea of 'wishing you had more time' obviously fits very well with John's story.

John definitely designed games where one person has to die, though.

@19.50 I am happy that someone else is in the boat too. First time I saw this moment, I said the same thing about making a "rope". lmao

Well said, the twist so simple even predictable, but so well executed.

"What movie is this? Some Triumphant movie about an old man battling cancer..." LOL IT IS!

This takes place about a few weeks after 1 but sometime before 2. This one is very different. Its more story and emotional focused this time and I liked that. Even the musical score is different. It sounds more calmer, warmer and hopeful. Which I'd never thought I would ever hear in a Saw film. The traps are also cool but simple. I can't really decide which ones I liked the most. All of them were kind of wild. X also made me like Amanda more than I did before. 3 and 6 really ruined her character for me but I'm glad that I'm kind of starting to like her again. The writers have come to admit that it was a mistake killing off John early on in Saw 3 and it shows.

I love that we’re like ‘Hey, you’re just voluntarily breaking every single finger in your hand. It could be worse’ point of the franchise. Lmao.

THAT EYE/FINGER TRAP WAS A DAMN DREAM BUT IT FIT SO WELL IN TO THE STORY OF THE MENTALITY OF KRAMER!

Changing the red to blue is a really smart editing idea to get around RU-vid that I haven't seen anyone else do

SAW X was fucking amazing , watched it 3 times already. "Stop there" well ... about that , SAW 11 and 12 are confirmed lol which is good imo , they've come this far , keep em coming as long as people want them i guess lol

I do think he saw the child as like gideon like especially cause he was so excited to be a father at one point i imagine its the paternal bonds

My personal theory is that Cecilia is a messed up spin on the Catholic story of Saint Cecilia. In her story she converted her husband on their wedding night because an angel heard her prayer that she would remain a virgin and he saw the angel visiting her. Together they converted many people to Catholicism, and when the Roman King heard of this, he was pissed and demanded that they bow to him. They refused his demands by saying the only King they would bow to is God. They were sentenced to execution by torture, Cecilia survived two of the three execution attempts and she was left to die until the people she had converted found her on the streets of Rome and took her back to her house to slowly die of the sword gashes on her neck. She survived three more days, in that time she was still converting people, singing songs and praising God's grace. The Cecilia in Saw X and hopefully Saw XI is very selfish, steals from people lying that she can cure them, and sacrifices Parker for her own life. Total opposite of the Saint.

When my friend and I saw this, she was tryjng to theorize what was gonna happen. She didn’t think these people would be the subjects. I said “We are literally being introduced to them one after another. There is no way they aren’t gonna be in the trap”

The leader of the scammers? Her dad was mentioned in SAW 6 and unlike his awful daughter he is a real doctor who practices privately out of his home. Sadly he was not taking anymore clients at the time John was dying from his cancer. Dude could have saved more than one life if he did though since we saw John consider retiring from being Jigsaw when he thought he was cured. So many innocents could have been saved, and heck even guilty people who had a possibility of changing into better people if given a second chance.

This was one of my favorite movies of the year and is in my top 3 of the franchise some facts from behind the camera All the mexican characters are played by actual mexican people, Pauletter Hernandez, Octavio Hinojosa and Renata Vaca play Tina, Mateo and Gabriela. Diego is played by Japanese/mexican actor Joshua Okamoto, who was born in saitama japan but moved to mexico with his parents as a kid. the actor that plays the victim of the eye trap is called Isan Beomhyun Lee, who is a south korean actor, and it looks like the scene was also filmed in mexico.

I really couldnt stnad Hoffmann in SAW 4 to 7, but somehow i was hyped when i saw him in the post credit scene :D

SAW 11 & SAW 12 are confirmed, and they confirmed SAW 11 is gonna be a Hoffman story.

I love that this movie is about John accepting his fate. His doctor told him to try and accept it because he'll feel at peace but John is understandably not willing to just let go. He is so weighed down with this knowledge and there's a very blue color tone to the scenes. He then tried to bargain but ending up being scammed because he was grasping at straws. While he's in this hopeful state the colour palette feels warmer. Then when he's hugging and telling Amanda that she has to come to turns with his death he does so because he's finally accepted it himself after this experience. Then at the very end he's actually smiling deviously, enjoying his "work" in his own twisted way and the colour felt blue again but brighter this time. Just like his doctor said - if you accept it, you'll have an easier time with it and it's he had taken that to heart he might have seen through their scam to begin with and thus been at peace.😮

i saw this movie in 4dx (where the seats move around and they spray water at you etc) and it was SOOOO funny the moments when they decided to spray the water. also they only have one smell for the scent part and it's this weird unidentifiable chemical smell that sort of drifts in from the front of the theatre and i was right at the back so i didn't smell it for a good few minutes after it was Released, the whole experience was just hilarious and so much fun. this movie rules. also when i stayed for the mid credits scene i literally laughed aloud when the Person showed up and a few people turned and looked at me lmao. one of the best movie experiences ive ever had

Loved your reaction to hoffamans reveal lol I screamed so hard when I saw him. And Amanda as well due to me not seeing the trailer when it came out. I purposely avoided it lol gave u a sub and follow on twitch 👍🏼

I'm late because life's been crazy, but I fucking loved this. I've said before how much I love your love for this franchise, so when I finally watched the film today and hopped to watch reactions and found you, I remembered how good your reactions to the previous films were and couldn't wait to watch this, lol. Only 8 months and 3 weeks for the next film! September can't get here fast enough!

agree, top tier saw movie and i want more. Great reaction

@1:20 personally me believe is that this movie is the "Rocky Balboa versus Rocky 5." The "Star Trek 6 versus Star Trek 5." This movie would be the "Saw X versus Spiral" accepting of course that this is set as a prequel, but regardless of that if you ask someone what was the "last" movie of SAW to-date they will say Saw X, and not Spiral.

I think the biggest twist is that the fact that critics actually gave this movie the best reviews in the entire franchise.

You might not have picked up on this, but the treatment John was seeking was the same treatment that he asked William Easton for coverage for in saw VI

Gabriela's cute as fuck 😍. I really wished the writing was better and she wasn't murdered like that. I was hoping Gabriela would come back in the end and save Amanda forming this sister bond with her. I was peeved the POS killed Gabriela and I was even more peeved that the POS lived like WTF is that writing? I felt very unsatisfied. I did LOVE the mid credit's scene with Hoffman but this movie imo needed more Hoffman. I still believe he's still alive in present day. Definitely the most disappointing third acts and one of the most unsatisfying ones. The best part of this movie was the mid credits scene. I'd put this maybe above Saw V and Spiral. But that's it. "Out of all the men to cheat, you pick John Kramer? That's what I call...EPIC BAD LUCK!"

Hellll yesssssss FINALLLYYY🔥🔥🔥🔥I’ve been waiting to see your reaction to this!❤️

I loved this movie so much. Seeing John and Amanda again was absolutely worth the wait. And it ties in so well between Saw 2 and 3, adding context that makes 3 that much better.

When I went to see this in theaters I found that I was the only one in my theater for it at the time. It was really interesting and quite the experience.

Saw x i was very impressed the concept was simple and appeals to every saw fan.. they flipped it.. the story line is simple.. I live the less is more factor. How realistic how many scammers are there in the world where they cheat innocent people and lives are ruined. I wish people would learn something from these saw movies .. learn from your mistakes to improve your lives others .. imagine what it would be like to he in them traps yourself. Love Tobin Bell. Legend hes up there with Michael Myers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ in the theater this should have been in 3d 10/10 movie for me.

Hahah I love that Michael Scott Line 😂😂

never clicked a video faster, been waiting for you to watch this movie. I watched it myself yesterday and absolutely loved it, curious to see what you think of it

13:39 She said: "No money, no sex" And they guy replied: "We never talked about money" I know that because I'm a Mexican lol

Something I just realized is I think the 3 minutes being given is probably referencing the 3 months he had to live

i just finished watching the intro I already predict this will be a favorite

The "no jalar" scene killed me😭😭

Bro, I was thinking about that black guy but I didn't realize saw was now getting post credit scenes so I didn't stay for that

so syked to watch this! Welcome back :) Been wanting you to watch this since it came out. Bring The Noise! Thank you soooooooo much! Love from uk :) xox

This did not disappoint! What a way to revive the series, although they had a few misses before this 😂.

Everybody loves a b*tch villain we all want to die. Synnøve Macody Lund as Dr. Cecilia Pederson was fantastic in her role. Never has a character deserved their comeuppance as much as her. I knew immediately Parker Sears was in on it because he didn't look as ill as John when he arrived at the factory wanting his money back (and he didn't cough once) :) This is the level of expectation fans have for all future Saw movies. The bar has been set. Solid 8.6/10 from me.

I got the same reaction when that title card rolled! I was like “oh this is gonna be different!” Loved it!!

Damn idk why some people left bad reviews for this movie, but man this film was too good. One of the best, if not the best addition to the franchise. Loved ur reaction btw 👏🏻👍🏻 Now… waiting for the ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ movie 😏

I can’t quite remember but I know this movie takes place either a few weeks after Saw or a few weeks before Saw 2. Also this isn’t officially confirmed but there are rumors about a Saw 11 and 12

Honestly the best Saw to ever come out and my cinema experience was incredible. Peak moment when a couple sneaked in halfway through to watch a free movie from seeing another one only to walk in during the brain trap and immediately walking out once they realised what the movie was 😭😂

I think Carlos was more supposed to be like Gideon, John's unborn son, and how their relationship might have been if he lived

I'm watching every reaction to SAW X, I love this movie so much

If you would’ve told me before now that I’d see a Saw movie that ended with three happy people walking off into a sunset, I wouldn’t believe you, but here we are.

I know the ppl who went to fright first the producers did a Q&A n they were planning to do a sequel on this movie

It really gets me how yall noticed that the last game was supposed to be with two people, it totally went over my head, instead I was thinking "he made this thing!! this trap should have an easy way to scape, LIKE HOUDINI, HE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SCAPE!!" while holding the sides of my sit at the cinema, lol I went to watch this with my sister, completely blind, blind in a different level because I haven't watched the rest of the franchise, it was quite a ride tbh, had me like 😦 all the way through and I loved it, lmao

I do genuinely like how you don't have intros but hey, you're allowed to every once in a while lol

"John wouldn't design a game where one person has to die" Um...Saw 6 would like a word (that game was pre planned before John's death so I don't wanna hear the Hoffman excuse)

I expected the Hoffman box swerve you were talking about but John actually being thrown a curveball was cool for a change Also You had it right. There were two collars The only difference was it was actually supposed to be John and Amanda. Nobody else that i know of caught that That was the actual curveball they would have easily been able to communicate and she could withstand more than Carlos. A see saw until they got bored and went for the money

If you notice, it is the third movie where it does not say "Game Over"

I’m really glad Hoffman was back in this

Lol I like the blue blood editing. I hope it works and youtube doesn't block it bc it's much better than the pixelated / black and white edit most people do
