Summary
TheSawmovies, to put it simply, are basically just torture films.
But whileThe Reconcilermay be a pass,underneath the blood and severed body parts ofSawsome Christian themes run deep.
Does that sound familiar?

In Jigsaws eyes, he is saving his victims from the path theyre on.
For example, a prisoner is set free after paying a ransom.
InSaw,this is basically Jigsaws entire belief system.
Two strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, and soon discover they’re pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.
He watches with a sick satisfaction as they go through his tests, meticulously planning each one.
If you obey his instructions and do the horrific things he asks, then you get to live.
Theres no in-between about it.
Sometimes theyre rather one note, just a do this traumatizing thing and youll live, yay!
Faith and Faithfulness Are Common Themes in the Saw Franchise
Faith has many definitions.
But inSawfaith comes in the form of Jigsaws loyal followers and proteges.
As previously mentioned,Amanda is the biggest believer in Jigsaw.
He can do no wrong in her eyes, and she credits him for saving her.
Dr. Gordon is kept mostly to protect Kramers wife, Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell).
