Strap yourselves in, but not too tightly. That timeline has now got even more complex with the arrival of Jigsaw, so here's a total rundown of everything that's happened now up to – and including – Jigsaw, in chronological order. Minor characters return years later, and Jigsaw himself has actually been dead since Saw III, but that doesn't stop Tobin Bell coming back each time, with zero supernatural elements involved. Even if you binge all seven in a weekend, you'll still need to be checking Wikipedia to understand certain flashbacks and references.įor instance, Saw IV takes place during the events of Saw III (which you don't realise until the very end), Saw V starts a minute after Saw III ends, the end credits of Saw VI reveal an event that took place between Saw II and III, and so on. Even more so than the Fast & Furious series. The Saw horror series is the most twisty, timey-wimey and downright confusing franchise ever. To those who have never seen a single one, it's fair to assume they're simply gore-porn nonsense with little semblance of plot.īut my friend, you would be wrong. For seven straight years from 2004 to 2010, the Saw franchise kept churning out sequel after sequel, all of which were solid hits at the box office.
