	Media	Author	Review
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Whether you’re new to the franchise or a diehard fanatic, Saw X is an easy recommendation this Halloween season. Welcome back, Jigsaw. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Tobin Bell dominates a torture-porn sequel that comes closer to being a real movie (...) It has a unified plot and a whole lot of John Kramer's moralistic hand-wringing. Maybe too much."
		Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"'Saw X' is the strongest and most effective sequel of the series (...) a unique Saw experience. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"It's an uncomplicated, effective horror thriller, even though it's trapped itself in the past with nowhere else to go"
		Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central	"A fun return to form for the series, even when it's a little confused about what it wants to say"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There's really nothing here to justify why we're being dragged back to the horrors of the 2000s. We've seen enough (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Tobin Bell returns to the central role, and the diabolical gore is as creative and brutal as ever"
		Neil Smith Total Film	"Two decades on from the short that started everything, 'Saw X' must surely mark the spot Jigsaw finally rests in pieces (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Alison Foreman IndieWire	"Brutal, self-aware, and roughly 30 minutes too long (...) It’s a flick for the die-hard fans that rewards those who keep asking for more."
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Is it a bit baggy and less amusingly chaotic than past entries? Absolutely. However, Bell's return as this character is still grimly fun when he's given room to let loose"
		Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"Ten movies in, the “Saw” franchise is as good as it’s ever been, with a prequel that honors the character—and horrific traps!—that fans love while adding pointed commentary."
		Andrew F Peirce The Curb	"A bloody, boring slog through basic brutality"
		Jacob Hall SlashFilm	"For the first time, Tobin Bell is allowed to fully and properly lead a 'Saw' movie (...) This is a movie for the dedicated freaks"
		Joshua Rothkopf Los Angeles Times	"[It] cuts away most of the fat from a tired series, returning it to its gory glory"
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"Unstintingly inventive torture porn (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kyle Turner Slant	"Revenge with a little meat to it (...) The film’s highlight is Amanda, a tempest of fully embodied desperation and psychosis. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Revenge horror taken to test-your-nerve extremes (...) The Jigsaw Killer returns with two hours of baroquely gruesome – and inventive (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Helen O'Hara Empire	"Little here feels fresh or new (...) The focus on Kramer's vulnerability and human side sits at odds with his awful judgmentalism. Let monsters be monsters (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Princia Hendriques Mashable	"I squirmed, winced and almost left rhe theatre (but rhank God I didn’t) (...) This Kevin Greutert directorial is every psychopath's dream."
		Aisha Nozari Metro	"Although a little long and fluffy at points, 'Saw X' finesses the existence of an introspective man, no thanks to Bell's killer performance and a relatively nuanced origin story of sorts (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"[It] is by far the most thoughtful movie in the franchise! Of course, that’s like saying it’s the least smelly in a surfeit of skunks"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Overall, I did find 'SAW X' to be better than what I expected. And it is certainly better than many other 'SAW' movies. Still, it could easily have been better, so it’s a shame that it isn’t (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rayan Sayyed IGN	"Even if you have never watched a 'Saw' film before, 'Saw X' is made with such finesse that it works well as a standalone offering."
		Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"It'd be hard to call any element of 'Saw X' original but returning director Kevin Greutert knows what'll satisfy his audience (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
