Quintessential Saw experience is a false wall suddenly opening in a room you've seen people get tortured in and a forgettable character from a previous entry that you've seen for maybe 3 minutes tops in the film you're watching stepping into view as music swells uncontrollably

Whenever I've watched a saw film I've watched at least two from beforehand and it's still difficult to follow. While most horror franchises ignore and cherrypick details from previous entries Saw films expected you to spend the year between each release revising for the next one
