20 years ago, the first Saw was released to theaters and movies haven't ever been the same since. James Wan's directorial debut spawned one of the most lucrative, if not polarizing franchises in horror history, with a sequel being pumped out on a yearly basis.

With each entry, the timeline got more hopelessly convoluted and backlash intensified over the franchise's penchant for torment. So the producers decided to pump the breaks and end the series with Saw 3D, an entry that was so disappointing that they had no choice but to reboot the franchise several times over. "Saw 3D" has often been regarded as a low point for a franchise that was already seeing diminishing returns, but the resurgence of the Saw franchise has led some to reevaluate the "Hoffman" era.

Gabe and Connor ask: is Saw 3D a mess of a finale that prioritizes gimmicks over story? Or is it a solid Saw film with some franchise highlights in it? Well strap on that Reverse Bear Claw and grab those 3D glasses, because Gabe and Connor are going to play a game... the game of Saw 3D.
