Spiral the book of saw skin#
Saw, the first film in the series, takes its name from a pair of hacksaws that form a crucial piece of its intimate, nerve-shredding plot, but also from The Jigsaw Killer, a name given to a particularly mischievous murderer so named because of his tendency to carve puzzle piece-shaped chunks of skin out of his victims.

Let's dive into this little game, and of course be warned that there are spoilers for the entire series so far below. It would be impossible to contain every twist, every trap, every demented game from the franchise in a single summation, but we're going to hit the major beats and the overall vibe of the series along the way.

If you're looking to relive the best traps and deaths, Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), Saw: The Final Chapter (2010) and Jigsaw (2017) are all streaming now on Peacock. With that much mayhem and destruction, it feels like a good idea to remind ourselves how we got here. To date, the Saw films have a lengthy history of making us squirm in our seats through nine brutal films stretching all the way back to 2004. It's never a bad time to revisit one of the scariest, goriest horror franchises in modern history - so with a big chunk of the Saw franchise now streaming on Peacock - we take a deep dive into making sense of the twisty, tricky Jigsaw continuity that ties it all together.
