Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Saw X has garnered the franchise's first real rave reviews, but that might be too little, too late given that the 2023 release could be the last movie in the series. The Saw franchise has been on a downward spiral for years, as the highest-grossing movie in the series was Saw III in 2006 , and since then, interest in the franchise has been significantly declining.
The final shot of the movie before the credits roll is somewhat melancholic too, as John, Amanda, and Carlos leave the warehouse during sunrise with the words "Saw X" fading onto the screen in white, giving the sequel a sense of finality to John's story. There is a Saw X mid-credits scene that brings back Mark Hoffman, who is one of Kramer's many apprentices in the movie series. However, while most mid-credits scenes set up future movies, this was seemingly just fan service.
Nevertheless, the franchise can still go in a number of other directions with Saw 11. In 2010's Saw: The Final Chapter, aka Saw 3D, Lawrence Gordon was revealed to be an apprentice of Jigsaw's after surviving the first film, and he formed a new group of killers. The 2017 installment Jigsaw introduced the new apprentice, Logan, and a sequel could connect Logan to Gordon's killer group.
The story is simply about John Kramer, who is battling cancer and getting revenge on a group of con artists who stole from him, and audiences don't even need to have seen any of the previous movies. In that respect, Lionsgate could continue making more straight-up prequels. That undoubtedly comes with challenges, as the older Saw movies are set within such a tight timeframe, but Saw X still pulled it off.
