Witness the genesis of one of the greatest horror franchises of all time, born when Saw world premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. From the twisted mind of Australian genre titan James Wan, this sophomore feature catalyzed a career that achieved epic heights. Responsible for iconic franchises like Insidious and The Conjuring and directing films in the Fast & Furious and DC universes, Wan is a bonafide Hollywood heavyweight. Returning to this early work highlights the ingenuity and originality that fathered an entire subgenre of cleverly calibrated, exquisitely gory films that always outpace expectations. In retrospect, this series starter is remarkably modest, a truly independent midnighter with a crystalline simplicity that warrants reverent revisitation. Rejoin this all-star cast including Tobin Bell, Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, and screenwriter Leigh Whannell in answering Jigsaw’s legendary call: “Do you want to play a game?” — AC
