The iconic horror film Saw was released, making its debut at the Sundance Film Festival before hitting theaters later that year. Directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, Saw introduced audiences to the twisted genius of John Kramer, also known as the Jigsaw killer, who forces his victims to complete deadly, life-or-death puzzles as a form of punishment for their perceived sins. The film's shocking twists, gruesome traps, and psychological tension quickly became a hallmark of the franchise, making it a massive success.
Saw became a cultural phenomenon, spawning a series of sequels, a video game, and even a spinoff. Its impact on the horror genre is undeniable, popularizing the "torture porn" subgenre and influencing countless films and television shows that followed. The film's unique blend of horror, suspense, and moral dilemmas kept viewers on edge and has earned it a lasting place in modern horror history.
Join Holly and Matthew this week as they look into the story behind the Saw franchise, and the effect it had on Australian cinema.
