Saw IV (2007)

It’s even more connected! The story continues to flesh out Jigsaw and the people involved. This one probably has the most memorable set pieces. The pervert room, the seesaw trap, and the spoked man and woman. Despite being dead, Jigsaw gets even more backstory that shows his origins. Of course, there is also an insane final reveal at the end that the series likes to do. The fact that the timeline and characters are so tightly woven in this series is insane. This one is a bit more on the bland side compared to the previous entries. It is still a decent film and worth the watch if you can stomach it.
