No, not at all.

The two victims of the first movie, Adam and Dr Gordon, have very little connections to Kramer himself. Gordon was the oncologist who diagnosed Kramer/Jigsaw with cancer, and was cold/uncaring. Kramer’s investigation later revealed that he’s cheating on his wife, and said wife hired Adam, a photographer, to get evidence.

The second movie, most victims are “wasting their lives”, plus a bunch of violent criminals, and of course, the (corrupt) lead detective’s son.

The third movie revolves around a boy’s death - his parents, the drunk driver who killed him, the judge who went easy on him, a witness who refused to testify, etc.

Saw IV: yet another group of “life wasters” plus Kramer’s business partner who screwed him over.

Saw V: a bunch of people whose begoigen caused a deadly building fire.

Saw VI: insurance claim denial chain (Luigi’d them)

Saw 3D: a fake Jigsaw survivor who’s cashing in on the lie and all the people enabling him

2017 movie: criminals and their enablers

But you’re not entirely wrong. The first actual murder/test Kramer did was revenge on the junkie whose actions led to the miscarriage of Kramer’s son. His wife, however, dies later, AFTER Kramer himself has already died.

begoigen

New word! googles

Dammit, it's just a new typo not a new word.

Thanks for the writeup. I will never watch these, but it's neat to be aware of what might be in the zeitgeist right now.

Negligence. Fucking iOS 27 keyboard. Autocorrect has been awful for the past two releases.

Also, why not watch them? They're popcorn horror after the first one.

I don't watch horror movies. I do not do well with them. It's a blanket rule for me.

None of the saw movies are “horror” though.

They’re definitely “gore” but there’s no classic horror elements.

It's... not really horror. At least not in the usual sense.

It's more of a mystery/suspense thriller series (borderline reverse heist movies), with tons of gore. The "horror" in it comes purely from the horrific traps.
