Saw: The Final Chapter Reviews
It’s more of the same: choppy editing, flashbacks within flashbacks, absurd plot twists, and fetishistic delight in gore.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2023
It's only fair to point out that Saw 3D is probably the best instalment since the third one. Nevertheless, it plays like a film in a series that is ready to be laid to rest.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 20, 2021
As a "conclusion" to the original run of movies, Saw: The Final Chapter mostly lands with a whimper, colliding predictable fan service with goofy traps and atrocious production values.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2021
Director Kevin Greutert offers nothing fresh to the series.
| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020
It's the same old grisly song and dance, and even the 3-D fails to breathe new life into its tired bones.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019
It's the kitchen-sink chapter.

If you've been disappointed with the way the series has been going up until this point, Saw 3D isn't exactly going to change how you feel.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 9, 2013
Saw 3D is the seventh Saw I've seen, and maybe the sickest-which is exactly what I said about Saw VI.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2013
The 3D effects don't help at all in this bland and easily-forgettable entry in the long-running series.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 6, 2013
Another thin Saw franchise installment. Fans of the series will find plenty of the same horrors to enjoy but the film furthers the series' decline into mediocrity.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 5, 2012
If only the people behind this series would watch some of the older horror films to discover what makes them good. Although, after six clones of the same film, it seems unlikely that they'll ever be able to figure it out.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Sep 22, 2012
Unlikely to satisfy anyone but its most loyal fans, this brings the series to a stumbling close.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2011
It wasn't the finale I had wanted, relying mostly on unimpressive revisions on previous films attempting to create a series-spanning plot against one man.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 15, 2011
Clearly the Producers have no more ideas for this franchise. It's a good thing they are ending the way they wanted to. To bad its not an ending fans will enjoy or deserve.
| Original Score: D | May 22, 2011
The novelty has worn off and familiarity has kicked in as the creators show no signs of deviating from a well-worn formula. Now it's the Police Academy of its style.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 3, 2011
The epic, game-changing twist of an ending which brings the series effectively full circle, is so ridiculously, even laughably over-the-top and off-the-rails that it feels more akin to the quirky, self-aware tone set by the last film.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 10, 2011
The Saw franchise ends with a blood-soaked whimper.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 5, 2011
Fast-paced and straight-faced, and full of "ewwww!' moments that play up to the film's effectively cheesy use of 3D.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2010
Saw 3D may just be the Saw-iest Saw film of them all.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Nov 7, 2010
Well, I think I've finally seen the final "Saw," this time in 3D.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 6, 2010
