The brainchild of director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell — who also starred — the first chapter of the horror movies introduced Jigsaw’s MO, as he set deadly traps for his victims to teach them life’s worth.

Different writers and directors have taken the reigns in Saw’s many new movies, and here’s the list so far.

What’s the latest Saw movie?

Saw X is the most recent Saw movie.

Saw X was set between Saw and Saw II and saw the return of fan-favorite character Amanda. A sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for an experimental cancer treatment — only to discover a scam.

It was directed by Saw VI and Saw 3D’s Kevin Greutert, and Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw returned to the series.

You can guess what happened after his miracle cure turned out to be a scam operation. Never defraud people around this guy.
