If you think you're a bad actor:
Just remember Adam pretending to get poisoned
X'D I always took that as purposely terrible, like the character of Adam is a bad actor (not Leigh Whannell) and can't fake being poisoned. It's still hilarious all the same.
That part got me so hard
Stefan... Jesus Christ.

Fan of the franchise but the 1st is one of my all time favorite movies. Not just the movie but the success story behind it. 2 film students fresh out of school get their movie picked up and on a small budget film their movie in less than 3 weeks. They had no time for reshoots, only shot at 1 location, and the entire ending from Zepp entering the bathroom to Jigsaw closing the door on Adam was done in 1 take. James Wan had to get creative in post production and used set photos to help tell the story. Then betting on himself James Wan chose to get a salary based on what the movie made and it ended up being one of the most profitable horror movies ever earning him a big payday and eventually a very successful career. Usually you hear about the creators of small budget successes getting screwed over but the creation of Saw tells a special story.
There’s also a theory Jigsaw is Kevin from Home Alone
No, he's the grown up killer from The Collector.
Nah, he's busy hanging out with the Red Letter Media guys.
Isnt possible but ok
Nah kevin got a job as a pizza delivery guy and was playing video games with the Angry Video Game Nerd
Sid yeah he was I just remembered that in an interview
Jigsaw's victims: **Abducted and left in a situation congruent with charges of Kidnapping, Conspiracy, Coercion, Second Degree Murder or Attempted Murder**
Leigh Whannel: _ah yiss sUiCiDe_
Most anticipated video of 2019
I met Cary Elwes (Dr Gordon aka the dude who cuts his foot off at the end) over the summer at con! I’m a huge saw fan, he signed my anniversary saw poster, it was awesome
"I think if somebody's been inside you, you should be on a first name basis"😂😂
Fun Fact: John Kramer is technically a Civil Engineer that’s why he has access to all those abandoned buildings and factories because of his connections from his previous job. Also Jigsaw got the Pigmask Persona from the Year of the Pig celebration from 4 .
Fun??? Fact?
Why didn't this series end with a giant Jigsaw mech? Just a colossal naked old man🤣
This is the perfect wolfula vid. The comedy, breakdown of the movie, and the theme of the video are peak in this video. Great job!
This is a great review. I can’t agree more about Saw being so much more than just a torcher porn movie. People who write it off as such are doing themselves a huge disservice.
What is "torcher porn"??
@@thebible4484 movies related to torture and gore most of the time
@@HorrorCritical In that case, it’s “torture porn”.
“Torcher porn” sounds like something a pyromaniac would watch to get their rocks off.
This film does hold up, assuming you don't already know the twist to it. I mean when it comes down to it, this is more of a "Whodunnit?" than anything, and if you already know who Jigsaw is going into it, while it's still a good movie, it's just not as compelling.
Saw 2004 is one of my favorites of all time! A modern classic that will never be forgotten! Great review, Doc!
when he said David Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger! I'm so dead. So great wolfula
Also, Cary Elwes really kind of fell off the face of the Earth after 1996's "Twister".
The Saw franchise was kind of reaching when they started adapting ideas for traps from literary works like "The Pit & The Pendulum" and "Merchant of Venice" and reaching for people like the late Chester Bennington.
Plus, Tobin Bell kind of fell off the face of the Earth after "The Firm".
Edit: Plus, you can kind of detect subtle hints of Elwes' actual English accent peeking through when Lawrence is furious at Adam; Andrew Lincoln, he is not.
Darmn right it stills holds up! The performances, the suspense and the fact that it's nowhere near as gory as it's sequels. Althought my favorite in the series is still Saw II.
Jigsaw(John Kramer): tries to recruit someone.
Me: that won't always wo-
Everybody he asked: *agreed*
The setting alone would make an interesting Samuel Beckett-style stage play.
Hey there doc hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
The beauty of the ending is all the scenes being pieced together like jigsaw puzzle pieces. The title of Saw itself is a piece of the puzzle. The title was an intentional mislead, thinking it’s something revolving around Saw, but really just a piece of the puzzle
Who to think that The Riddler from the "Barman: Arkham Series" would be inspired by John Kramer?! O.o
Me
@@themaniax8265 Me too! :D
I recently saw Cary at comic-con, I think this was a unique experience for him
HicksZ34 he was in a Robin Hood world twice, once as Robin Hood
HicksZ34 oscars are overrated, but how could you forget “The Princess Bride”?
You could argue that "Gore" was never president either.
Hehehehehe......easy now
“Aaavember” might not be real, but what about “Oh NoVember?” Just trying to help...
HicksZ34 or Novebooo! That’s probably the weakest option, but there’s always options. But is easy to be a “Monday Morning Quarterback...”
NNNOOO(Nut)vember
Great review, doc! I'm also glad you liked the movie, and let me just say 'Saw' is my favorite horror franchise. Sure, it has a lot of sequels, but the overall flow feels more episodic than repetitive.
Doc: "I call this the Death Bag"
WOW BOB WOW
I’d add Michael Emerson to the highlight of actors. The scene where he’s essentially torturing Diana and Allison with the gun is very disturbing and he does it without speaking one word. It’s no wonder everyone thought he was the killer, the glee he seems to take in torturing Allison and Diana is something I wish the film would have explored a bit more. This was the first acting role I saw him in and was very excited to see him join the cast of Lost where he plays probably one of my favorite antagonists of all time. He’s an actor I always enjoy watching.
I think the first three films are the best but the others like Jigsaw can eat crap in my opinion, also don't beat yourself up on not releasing this vid and the next one on October like you promised, lots of things happen in life or certain situations we can't control.
Just keep on being you man and I hope you have a great December. 😊
I think with the cheating plot line he was planning on cheating on his wife, but couldn’t go through with it. That being said, it is weird that she wouldn’t be calling him by his first name
Best horror franchise ever. Each film expanded upon the mythology and stories from the previous one making the continuous timeline one of the rarest in horror history.
Turn the middle side topwise, topwise!
I've never seen a Saw movie but am interested in the lore and cinematography.
This review has been intriguing.
That Ghoulash tho... twisted box magnet.
Saw should've just been one movie. The sequels were just overkill... get it, overkill? Nevermind
Next year we better get a Freddy vs Jason Death Battle
Apples to Apples is beast
Almost at 100k wolfie!!! Congrats! Been subscribed from the beginning and I’m so proud of seeing your Channel grow.
You definitely made a good point. The Saw movies do feel like a heavily serialized tv series.
Thank you Dr. Wolfula for reviewing Saw!!!! ❤️
Hey, Jigsaw looks like the guy I tried to sell some Al Jolson albums to.
"I loathe you"!
I actually met Tobin Bell at a horror con and made that reference heh cool guy
Does this mean Ghoulash is Doctor Wolfula's apprentice?
As a huge fan of the franchise, I very much enjoyed your take on the first film! I hope you'll make other videos for the sequels!
Awesome video Dr. Wolfula! Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
My top 3 horror movies: Alien, Halloween, and Saw. Also this is my favorite horror franchise and this actually got me into horror movies which I was never a huge fan of back in the day.
HAPPY LATE THANKSGIVING DOCTOR WOLFULA!! ITS MY BIRTHDAY !! AND I SEE BUDGET CUTS REALLY AFFECTED THE WOLFULAIR TRAPS...
If I'm not mistaken this is the first video where the good doctor didn't have the first comment
Sometimes I just don't feel like trolling
I love the great artwork the channel has been getting
Something I find funny is the Adam fanboys that ignore Amanda suffocating him in the bathroom in a Saw III flashback and insist he's still alive. Even his corpse being in the bathroom in Saw II and Saw 7 won't persuade them otherwise. They say "Oh that's someone else and he's alive somewhere" even though it's clearly Adam who is dead.
That skit at the beginning was hilarious 😂
Mecha John Kramer vs Ghoulashzilla V: Rise of Wolfula
I like the fact that the icon on the bottom right is ghoulash in homage to pazuzu.
I been so excited for this the first time you announced you were going to finally review it
Long time watcher I’ve been watching you for 7 years and loved all of your content
A nearly half hour long Wolfula video? Christmas came early.
Its crazy the movie had only 2 weeks to be made.
Adam was shot in the shoulder verses his chest. It was the last ploy from Gordon to try and one up Jigsaw but shooting Adam wellcknowing it wouldn't kill him.
you can get the entire series box set on Blu-ray for like $10, well worth it. like you said I don't think it gets enough credit for being consistently good for as long running of a series it is
I love how pissed doc got when goulash kept bringing up the rubik's cube
I think after 3, Saw did go into the torture porn
vidhead85 I think part 5
The memes birthed from hello zepp are legit some of the best you’ll ever see.
few movies give you a feeling of dread the entire time. This one still holds up.
Favorite Horror movie review channel on RUclips
For me, Saw I is still incredibly creepy. It's the best one in my opinion
Not to mention this is one of James Wan's best films! I consider the first 2 Saw movies outstanding!
I love Saw II more than the original! But the first Saw movie is a great flick! Ignore the sequels. Except Saw II.
Great review Doc! This is by far one of your best! Keep it up!
The KING 3 and 4 are ok and watchable but after that its ridiculous
Agreed about Saw 2. More Tobin Bell, better twists, better acting, better traps.
My favorite Wolf Man is back at it again.
Omg this is the best. Too funny!!!
Doc. The line is “do you wanna play a game?” Or “I wanna play a game”?
No way I just got a heart from him, i have been watching you since your first couple of videos, I love you, you’re my inspiration ❤️
*Wolfula talks about Jigsaw and Billy's voices*
RUclips: Domino's commercial.
So Billy sounds like a Dominos commercial?
Yes this movie is still good.
I saw the first Saw when it first came out. And I've only seen parts of the later series. Mostly because of Betsy Russell. She's hot.
And another spoiler alert would the Dr. that cuts off his own foot becomes one of Jigsaws assistants later on.
The main set looks like the restroom/ locker room of a machine shop I used to work at
Dont feel bad about the hipster thing.
I think it's better to view popular things(from our current era) in the future with hindsight 20/20.
I thinks it better to view something without media and fan hype. Also without all the negative press as well.
For example everyone compares High Tension to Martyrs. When I watched Martyrs I instantly wanted to watch High Tension.
I didn't like it because Martyrs is such a crazy and unique movie and I was expecting that.
Now I watched it later and it's not a bad movie by itself. Not good, not bad, but I wasn't mad at the movie anymore.
I'm interested to see your thoughts on the later Saw films. I know in your latest stream you said 1-4 were fine and 5 was one of the worse ones you've seen but what I'm really interested to see yout thoughts on 6-Spiral and Saw X whenever that comes out.
Best SAW spoof is in The Venture Brothers.
"Digging thru Shit like Laura Dern"
Solid JP reference! 🤣👌
I'll be honest. I watched Saw in the theater, wasn't really my cup of tea but it was interesting. Bought the Saw box set when it was practically free last year and have yet to watch it. It's on my to do list, but the mood hasn't hit me. Now, on with the video.
Tony S The first 4 are the best,after that it gets ridiculous
@@princeuvolesckoolbmovies5460 Good to know. I swear I'm going to get to it eventually.
“Doctor Gordon finna leave on one foot” Shakespeare born again
I always thought the key to solve a Puzzle Cube is to take off all the stickers and match them. (That's how you get rid of Pinface.)
Wait......Chris Rock is doing a Saw movie? How.....am I just hearing about this?
Saw was the inspiration for one of the the most vile and disturbing VN's/Eroge's ever made, it's called Euphoria, perhaps Doctor Wolfula should review it ;)
Thank you for new content🖤
The effects of violent movies on children vary massively. This is evident in numerous occasions. Firstly, it is notable that children who spend a most of their times watching violent movies develop some unwarranted aggressions in their behaviors. The need to imitate major actors and scenes watched in the concerned movies has adverse influences in these children. Studies have demonstrated increased aggression among the concerned children with some of them attempting to behave violently on several occasions...Notably, violent movies front adverse effect on children with respect to emotional growth and other characterizing factors. Since children are still growing mentally and the kind of information and scenes they impart in their brain matters a lot, violent movies are quite inappropriate in this context.
Cary lewes performance certainly doesn't lol
Oscar worthy 😅🤣
Oh come on, it’s clear dissent
Your underrated and made me laugh out loud for 3 mins straight as I kept rewinding the over actor roast 🤣
wait danny glover was in this movie??
1:35 haha funny
Thank you dr.
Dr.wolfula should voice as a character in hazbin hotel.
Your right
@@jadeengelbrecht9796 I mean His voice is grand,Goulashs and his.
Dr Wolfula for president in 2020.
Ah, Doc. I needed this today. Thank you!
5:15 Empty comment; Cary Elwes did just fine after PB... Men In Tights, Liar Liar, Dracula, Hot Shots, Seinfeld... Just because he doesn't co-own Planet Hollywood doesn't mean his career is a weak.
Can we get doctor wolfula as Billy the puppet shirts? I needs it
lol that ending reminds me of the Canadian Saw from ATHF
"It was just a twist tie."
"From my whole wheat loaf. You found it. Bring it to me! You have sixty seconds."
I dont know what happened but Cary Elwes acting in this movie really took a dump.
Oh please, you and the good doc are being too critical
Great vid,thank you
It's a great film. Shame it was cheapened by endless unnecessary sequels.
It may seem endless and unnecessary to anyone who has a short attention span and who prefers mindless Hollywood drivel as opposed to a series of films like Saw, where there is a running story that twists and turns into itself, requiring the viewer to actually use their mind.
I love your reviews, you do a amazing job giving information AND have great character.
It feels like a mst3k style, or maybe Joe Bob Brigs.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the reverse bear trap music
I never skip the ads ... you deserve the money doc !!!
Love the videos! stop trying to put so much out in Ahhctober. Just do your best to be consistent and keep up the good work!
Please do the Saw sequels next!
the doc is in
*O H W O W*
goulash sucks, you must know that from the ratings. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. No wait, that's a bit extreme, please just give us the PURE wolfula!
I skip through all goulash scenes
