Before the Insidious and Conjuring Universes, all the way back in 2004, James Wan and partner Leigh Whannel made a small, simple movie that would shake up horror in film forever. Saw is a testament that with an iconic character, a catchy premise, and word of mouth, even a movie on a modest $1.2 million budget can go a long, long way. 15 years later, does the original in this long standing series deserve its place on the Mount Rushmore of horror franchises? We’ll find out.

Saw stars Cary Elwes, Leigh Whannell, Danny Glover, Ken Leung, Monica Potter, Makenzie Vega, Michael Emerson, and Dina Meyer. Directed by James Wan.
