The actual test taking place in 2017's Jigsaw, which sees five people—each with a horrible secret—wake up in a deathtrap-filled barn, is actually one of the very first games orchestrated by John Kramer, taking place well before the events of Saw.
In terms of the main, current-day storyline being told by the Saw franchise, James Wan's original film is the starting block. However, as revealed through many, many subsequent flashbacks, this isn't even close to Kramer's first trap, and by this point, he had already recruited two conspirators: Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) and Mark Hoffman (Costas...
Saw X takes place just a few weeks after the events of Saw with John Kramer being given his cancer diagnosis and finding hope of a cure through a member of his cancer support group, which takes him on a trip to Mexico. However, when it turns out that the treatment is part of a scam, he works with protégée Amanda Young — who is still learning the ro...
The Saw II plotline that sees Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) apprehending the Jigsaw Killer and trying to find the whereabouts of his son, Daniel (Eric Knudsen), takes place about a year after Saw. The film's actual Jigsaw test, eight people trapped in a house of horrors slowly filling with poisonous gas—Daniel and Amanda Young among the...
In arguably the franchise's wildest switcheroo,Saw III and Saw IV happen at the same time, six months after Saw II. PRE-SAW FLASHBACKS: In Saw IV, we learn that an accident at a rehab clinic caused by an addict named Cecil Adams (Billy Otis) caused John Kramer's wife, Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell), to miscarriage. Soon after, Cecil became Jigsaw's very...
Saw V picks up very shortly after the events of Saw IVand the death of John Kramer. PRE-SAW FLASHBACK: We learn the trap that opens this film, a gigantic pendulum that cuts convicted murderer Seth Baxter (Joris Karsky) in half, was actually created solely by Hoffman and made to look like a Jigsaw killing. John Kramer finds out and recruits Hoffman ...
Saw VI starts just a few days after the events of Saw V. PRE-SAW FLASHBACK: We learn that health insurance executive William Easton (Peter Outerbridge), the subject of the film's game, denied John Kramer coverage that may have saved his life. We also learn Amanda Young was partially responsible for Jill's miscarriage, information that Hoffman used ...
Saw 3D takes place just a few weeks after the events of Saw VI. (Based mostly on the fact Hoffman's face is mostly healed from getting bear-trapped to hell in Saw VI.) The film's main victim, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery), garnered fame by falsely claiming he escaped a Jigsaw game between Saw and Saw II. Post-Saw flashback: We learn that Dr. L...
The storyline in Jigsaw that follows Detectives Halloran (Callum Keith Rennie) and Hunt (Cle Bennett) takes place ten years after the death of John Kramer.
While Spiral: From the Book of Saw avoids placing itself in a specific year—and doesn't pull a single timeline twist!—it's safe to say the film takes place a few years after the modern-day storyline in Jigsaw. Saw X is now available to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube. Rent on Prime Video
