Well, it looks like we have officially reached the end of our time with John Kramer and Co. (for now). There’s been some highs and a lot of very low lows, but we made it through.

That’s right, this week we’re wrapping up our Saw retrospective with Saw X, the latest installment in the franchise. Released in October 2023, this movie picks up shortly after the events of the original Saw (2004) and follows John Kramer as he makes one final attempt to cure his cancer.

This attempt leads him to Mexico for an experimental treatment that’s guaranteed to cure even the most advanced forms of cancer. However, John soon finds out this was a scam used to prey upon society’s most desperate people and decides to punish the scammers in a way only Jigsaw can.

About Us

Sam and Stormy died and they can't get into Heaven until they watch every single horror movie on Netflix. But, like, those movies are constantly changing, so it seems like someone is yanking their chain.

It’s been five whole movies since John Kramer/Jigsaw died; however, the franchise continues to find a way to work him back into the franchise--even if it didn’t make sense, as was the case with Jigsaw. Well, Darren Lynn Bousmann is back to explore the Saw universe outside the John Kramer circle. Finally, someone has accepted the fact that John Kramer is dead and that the Saw franchise needs to find a new direction.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw is a 2021 horror movie that decides to change the formula with help from comedian and horror fan Chris Rock. Spiral follows a detective who takes on the task of finding a serial killer copying in infamous Jigsaw killings.

While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened — there came a fierce breath of the whirlwind — the entire orb of the satellite burst at once upon my sight — my brain reeled as I saw the mighty walls rushing asunder — there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters — and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the “House of Usher.”

-Edgar Allan Poe

Our time with the Usher family has finally ended in this melancholic conclusion to Mike Flanagan’s latest miniseries. With the death of his eldest son, Roderick finds himself confronted with the millions of lives he’s taken and accepts the consequences of his actions--and accepts the sweet embrace of death.

We also talk about the idea of heightened horror and what it should mean for the genre as a whole. There are also decisions kind of made about the next TV series will conquer on the minishow

DID YOU THINK IT WAS OVER?

It’s been seven years since the last installment of our Saw retrospective, and we’re back from the dead (just like John Kramer) to review Jigsaw.

Jigsaw is a 2017 horror film released as the eighth installment of the Saw franchise. Ten years after the death of John Kramer, someone has decided to restart his games of terror. It has to be a copycat. Right?

The end of our time with the Usher family is rapidly approaching as they continue to die. This week, we bid farewell to the oldest of the Usher children: Frederick. He’s lost his mind trying to figure out why his wife was at that rave that night and is taking all that anger out on her, despite her chemical burns. However, Lenore is on to her father’s evil ways and plans to get her mother the help she needs.

Meanwhile, in the past, Roderick betrays Dupin, leaving Annabelle hurt and confused and Madeline smug and pleased.

Episode 8 of Fall of the House of Usher is based on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name.

Everyone, let’s phone it in for the final movie in the Saw franchise: Saw 7 The Final Chapter 3D.

Mark Hoffman survived Jill Tuck’s trap and now she’s fighting for her life to get Hoffman locked up before he can take her out. Meanwhile, some dude is pretending to be a victim of the Jigsaw killer, making a crapton of money as a motivational speaker. I don’t know, I feel like he at least gets what John was trying to do with this whole thing.

We also welcome back Mr. Cary Elwes who isn’t just in it for the money this time. He’s in it to kick Hoffman’s ass.

Based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name episode 6 of Fall of the House of Usher find that tensions within the Usher family reach a boiling point following the death of Vic. Tammy, amidst preparations for the Goldbug launch, grapples with paranoia over her husband's alleged affair with Verna, who has taken on the persona of a prostitute. Desperate to redefine the family's image, Tammy sees Goldbug as their chance to showcase the Ushers beyond Roderick and Madeline.

Meanwhile, Lenore grows increasingly concerned about her family's well-being, particularly her father's strange behavior since her mother's return. A meeting with her grandfather sheds light on his deteriorating condition. Juno, despite joining the family, confides in Tammy about her profound loneliness, contrary to her expectations.

Insights into Arthur Pym's travels and discoveries add intrigue to the narrative, particularly regarding Verna's presence throughout history. As the tension mounts, Roderick's absence at the Goldbug press conference raises questions, while Tammy battles hallucinations of Verna sabotaging the event.

The press conference takes a disastrous turn when Verna manipulates the presentation, triggering Tammy to melt down and have a violent outburst. Madeline confronts Verna, only for her to vanish mysteriously. Upon returning home, Tammy is confronted by Verna, who urges her to apologize to Bill before it’s too late.

Sam and Stormy also talk about the latest horror releases.

Okay, for real this time, the story of Saw III has reached its conclusion…three movies later.

Mark Hoffman continues the legacy of John Kramer by putting the insurance agent who wronged him through a bloody game of choice. Meanwhile, a nosey reporter tries to dig deeper into Kramer’s past by getting close to Jill Tuck. And a mother and son wait in fear while a barrel of acid clings to the wall.

Everyone is connected…somehow.

Can you tell I’m tired? Because what was that?

This week, we’re reviewing the sixth installment of the Saw franchise directed by Kevin Greutert and starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, Peter Outerbridge, and Shawnee Smith.

We also discuss the antichrist.
