So, you're ready to dive into the twisted world of Jigsaw? Buckle up! Watching the *Saw* movies in order is crucial to understanding the intricate plot and appreciating the character arcs. But which order is the *right* order?
While release order is a solid choice, here's the chronological order, weaving in prequels for maximum comprehension:
1. *Saw* (2004)
2. *Saw II* (2005)
3. *Saw III* (2006)
4. *Saw IV* (2007)
5. *Saw V* (2008)
6. *Saw VI* (2009)
7. *Saw 3D: The Final Chapter* (2010) aka *Saw VII*
8. *Jigsaw* (2017)
9. *Spiral: From the Book of Saw* (2021) - This is a spin-off, loosely connected but best viewed last.
10. *Saw X* (2023) - Takes place between *Saw* and *Saw II*
Why chronological? *Saw X* and key flashbacks add depth to characters established earlier. Watching this way allows you to fully appreciate the elaborate trap-laying and the motivations behind Jigsaw's deadly game. Now, the choice is yours... will you play?
