Ranking Every SAW Movie Worst to Best (Including SPIRAL)

Today was the day. After a seemingly endless wait, the new Saw movie Spiral: From the Book of Saw is out. And so we thought it would be fitting to go ahead and rank every Saw movie – including Spiral. This isn’t a personal list. This is as definitive as I could do. It’s based on each film’s: Rotten Tomatoes Critics Score, Audience Score, Metacritic, IMDb, Google. This is the general public as best as I could calculate.

Let’s see what they say…
09. Saw 7
A fierce battle rages over Jigsaw’s (Tobin Bell) terrible legacy. Now survivors seek support from a fellow survivor and self-help guru, who has a few dark secrets of his own. Meanwhile, crooked cop Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) seeks revenge against Jigsaw’s wife and an author who has his own story.
08. Saw 5
The fiendish serial killer Jigsaw is dead. But his work lives on through a new apprentice, Lieutenant Mark Hoffman, a cop who appeared to be hot on the murderer’s trail. Fellow lawman Agent Peter Strahm begins to suspect Hoffman is Jigsaw’s protégé. So the fledgling killer sets out to dispose of him.
07. Saw 4
During the autopsy of serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), a cassette tape is discovered in his stomach in which he warns that his gory games will continue. Sure enough, SWAT Lt. Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is forced to follow a blood-drenched trail of torture, dismemberment and death in order to find two missing colleagues. A pair of FBI profilers follow Riggs, suspecting he might be Jigsaw’s accomplice, even as they unlock the puzzle of the killer’s origins, seen in gruesome flashbacks.
06. Saw 6
With Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) still directing events from beyond the grave, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) emerges as the heir to the killer’s legacy. But as the FBI closes in, Hoffman sets in motion a game designed to reveal Jigsaw’s grand scheme.
05. Saw 3
Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) becomes a pawn in the Jigsaw Killer’s (Tobin Bell) latest gory game. Kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse, she finds Jigsaw bedridden and dying. Her task is to keep the maniac alive long enough for Jeff (Angus Macfadyen), a fellow victim, to complete his own task. Each is unaware that Jigsaw has much bigger — and deadlier — plans in store.
04. Saw 2
On the hunt for the twisted vigilante and serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) and his team must apprehend the elusive murderer to rescue eight people trapped in an abandoned house, before they succumb to his torturous and murderous games. One twist to this task is that Matthews’ own son is among the eight people Jigsaw has chosen to test for their lack of morality. With nerve gas pumping through the house, every second counts.
03. Jigsaw
After a series of murders bearing all the markings of the Jigsaw killer, law enforcement officials find themselves chasing the ghost of a man who has been dead for over a decade, and they become embroiled in a new game that’s only just begun. Is John Kramer back from the dead to remind the world to be grateful for the gift of life? Or is this a trap set by a killer with designs of his own?
02. Spiral: From the Book of Saw
Working in the shadow of his father, Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks and his rookie partner take charge of an investigation into grisly murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
01. Saw
Photographer Adam (Leigh Whannell) and oncologist Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) regain consciousness while chained to pipes at either end of a filthy bathroom. As the two men realize they’ve been trapped by a sadistic serial killer nicknamed “Jigsaw” and must complete his perverse puzzle to live, flashbacks relate the fates of his previous victims. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon’s wife (Monica Potter) and young daughter (Makenzie Vega) are forced to watch his torture via closed-circuit video.
