This movie came out when I was 15, and it's all anyone would talk about, so I ignored everything about it because I was a douchey-hipster girl that didn't want to participate in anything "mainstream". Now that I'm 34, I would like to punch my teenage self for turning me into an anti-hipster as an adult (when someone starts liking stuff AFTER it's cool). Love your deep-dives, I'm so friggen excited for this two-parter 👏
Lol aw man, I've been there. I used to avoid currently popular stuff too and would think later why did I wait so long on this. I like to find things in my own time but I loved Saw when it came out because it just hit me at the right age and right time.
Thanks for all your hard work and a really great video. Saw was such a simple premise, 2 guys locked in a single grimy room, like reservoir dogs which was essentially a few thieves bickering in an empty warehouse, but both films work brilliantly. And the moment when kramer sits up. ......just as shocking as when michael sits up at the end of halloween and scotty at the end of evil dead. Have just been watching your truly horror on jaws, great video, in preparation for working through all my shark movies from jaws to the meg!
Thank you, that's so kind to say. I like to make my episodes as good as they can be and always push myself further. I love a simple stripped back story like Saw.
Amazing dedication as always Sarah. I have a huge love for the Saw franchise. Definitely in my top 5. Although I do think the quality of the films drops after the fourth entry, 5 and 6 are still great. We just wont mention 'Saw: The Final Chapter' or 'Jigsaw'.
Aw thank you so much! I'm glad people are enjoying the episode. It was so fun to make. I agree about 5 and 6, they're still good. And while I don't think Saw 3D is a good movie I watch it just for that ending which I think is awesome.
Great video, as always Sarah. Your passion and dedication to the deep dives really shone through in this episode. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of all the personal quotations and behind the scenes footage from the cast and crew members. Can't wait for part two!
Aw thank you. I do love doing the deep dives but it's definitely more fun doing it for a film you love and I love Saw. I already had so much of the behind the scenes stuff just for me.
Really looking forward to the next episode. Also something to consider, if you've seen the batman (the most recent one) the Riddler has some jigsaw vibes. But I never knew Carey was a massive supporter of James and Leigh at the start. That's incredible to find out.
Big fan of Batman, in general, and u agree about the Riddler having Jigsaw vibes about him. Honestly it was so heart warming to hear everything Cary said about them and the film. He's so proud of it and really amires them.
@@whatthehorror Hands down having a fairly big actor supporting and loving their work even at the early preproduction stage is what any writer or director needs at the start of their career. Oh and I would have loved to be in the same room as Tobin Bell when he got to the end part of the script. Actually still one of my favourite twists in all cinema.
That was a great watch. I really love the Saw movies, pretty much all of them. It would be great to see you tackle the whole franchise, maybe in a ranking video? Anyway that was a treat to watch, thanks.
@@whatthehorror Yes maybe wait for Saw X! I just think people write off the Saw sequels the same way they do the Hellraiser ones and it always transpires they've only seen one or two to base their opinions on. Some of the later Saw movies have better character studies than the original one IMO. I'm a huge Hellraiser fan too if you get the urge to do another deep dive at some point :)
Great look for your cosplay. Do you do others? Saw joins Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream and Friday the 13th as the best of their franchises. And as you said, my how the focus changes. Great editing and well researched as always. Can’t wait for next week’s installment.
Lol well thought I'd just drop that in. I've also done Rose the Hat from Doctor Sleep but that's it I think. I also love the Scream franchise; it may be my favourite horror franchise. Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. It was really fun to make, just spending time lost in the world of Saw.
I had no idea how this movie had come about so I really did learn a lot. It's left me wondering though, at what point did they decide on a whole franchise? Was that after filming the movie and then writing the next 6 movies in a way that would tie them all together ?
I'm so glad there was something to learn from it. I learnt so much from my research. I believe they never intended it to be a franchise but it made money so producers wanted more. I'll touch on that in part 2.
I always think it's weird that no one ever mentions the sawing-your-own-foot-off aspect of the end of Mad Max. Might be a coincidence but I've always assumed it was an inspiration.
I rewatch the first one a lot. After so many years there's still something that haunts me about that movie, no matter how many times I've seen it
It definitely stands apart from the rest because of how story and character driven it is.
I love the first 2. After that I was not as devoted. But that first one changed horror as much as Friday the 13th in the 80s
I love the franchise but no where near as much as the 1st one. There is a huge dip in quality after the 1st 2 or 3. They're still fun though.

Great video, and I loved how you kept in it that little "garage" moment where you caught yourself using the North American pronunciation. XD

This was very well produced! Love the behind the scenes stories
Aw thank you. I'm really pleased eith how it turned out and I like to put effort into my editing.
Very interesting! I allways love to hear the story behind the story. Thank you very much!

I like how Saw films are not afraid to take risks
So good. Can’t wait for the second part!
Aw thank you, as long as everything goes OK it should be out next Sunday.
@@whatthehorror I’ll be ready to watch it whenever it drops!
Saw is my fav franchise just edging out Scream! You done a fantastic job! As always very detailed & informative. Can't wait for part 2 😎 👍 👏
Thank you so much! Hopefully you'll enjoy part 2 as well. Its been a lot of work but so fun doing these ones on Saw.
Excellent Documentary! I just watched all of the saw films a week ago so this is a very interesting watch!
What a great deep dive. I love your "sickness underneath" analogies!
Thank you so much! As much as I'd love to take credit for that analogy; it's the work of the wonderful Leigh Whannell.
@@whatthehorror props to you for your honesty and generosity. We don't see that too much these days. Also, well done Leigh!
@@andrewrollinson7739 I mean he is the writer so I'm gonna go with his take on it.
That was a great watch. I really love the Saw movies, pretty much all of them. It would be great to see you tackle the whole franchise, maybe in a ranking video? Anyway that was a treat to watch, thanks.
I would love to talk about the rest of the franchise at some point. Perhaps after Saw X comes out, it's a lot to discuss isn't it lol

Another inspiration connection: Argento also does the killer in the closet! It's that incredible scene in Deep Red with the eye in the closet.
Oh, I didn't know that. I hate to say it but I've not seen any giallo movies yet.
Great look for your cosplay. Do you do others?

@@whatthehorror doctor sleep was a great sequel and Rose the Hat has an awesome cosplay look. Have a good week, Miss Sarah.
when you said, Garage and started to correct yourself how you would normally say it. i cracked up laughing, my friend. lol.
Lol, it cracked me up too when I was editing. I genuinely surprised myself.
@@whatthehorrorwatching too many American films lol
Wow this video is so well written and thought out!! Omg i loved this!!
Aw, thank you so much. That's really kind. I worked really hard on this one.
Love this video!!!
Thank you so much.
I love the Saw movies and even the games looking forward to Saw X
Hopefully we're not disappointed!
Loved this deep dive thank you
james and lee are awesome, loved the first one never seen the others
I much prefer the original film.
The funniest line is from Adam when he introduces himself to Gordon
Hi my name is pretty fucking confused what’s your name
Loved that cosplay plug.
Lol well you've got to haven't you.
27:19 Actually it’s two scenes. The one shown at the timestamp and the scene showing Adam’s capture. The statement holds otherwise.

I love your shirt!!
Thank you.
@@whatthehorror You're welcome
I always think it's weird that no one ever mentions the sawing-your-own-foot-off aspect of the end of Mad Max. Might be a coincidence but I've always assumed it was an inspiration.
I've not seen Mad Max but I know both Leigh and James are a fan so perhaps it is.
It 100% was.
where did you get your shirt? i love it!
You remind me of a female Barry Norman when you are talking about the film and that's a good thing
What's that intro song?
