Make Your Choice pt. 10

An In Depth Look At The Saw Traps

“To be able to sustain such a traumatic experience and yet find the positive in that grisly act. It’s a remarkable feat indeed”

Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Saw The Final Chapter)

I’m going to assume that if you are here you have read at least Make Your Choice parts eight and nine. If you haven’t you will probably be confused, so maybe get on that or never come back.

30. Grain Silo (Jigsaw)

Honestly this trap seemed pointless to me. Two bros from the Game in Jigsaw were tragically stuck in a grain silo and covered in grain. Then the grain stopped and KNIVES FELL FROM THE CEILING!!! Let me repeat that. Knives fell from the ceiling. Now I ask you, in what universe would this happen? Also that guy from the Leg Wires trap (#24) had to pull the lever to get himself and them out so that trap was not great.

31. The Magnum Eye Hole (Saw 2)

So in the antidote safe room, there was a door that was on a time lock. But if you used a key on the door, you got shot in the eye by a gun. The key came with a note saying “do not use this key on the door” so I’m not sure what was expected here, but it seemed boring and pointless to me.

32. Electrified Staircase (Saw 2)

This is a trap that I am not sure should count as a trap, which is why I rate it so low. Honestly, electrified stairs? Pretty cool. But not when used on poor, nameless police friends who have no idea what they are walking into. They didn’t deserve to be electrocuted.

33. Acid Room (Saw 6)

So this is the trap at the end of Saw 6. Now you may recall that in Saw 6 there is an obnoxious insurance man who has to pass a series of tests. But at the end of the test he is confronted with two people who should definitely want him dead, and they are told they can kill him with some acid if they want. So he dies. End of story.

34. The Rack (Saw 3)

This is a trap found at the end of Jeff’s game in Saw 3. There is a man placed on a rack and his limbs are twisted until Jeff can save him. Jeff does not save him. Also he should definitely have passed out from pain sooner. Not cool, innocent guy dies, etcetera.

35. Public Execution (Saw The Final Chapter)

As far as opening traps go, the bar was set pretty high, I mean you had the Reverse Bear Trap, the Venus Fly Trap and Pound of Flesh, all ranked pretty high. Then you had this absolute JEM. Why were they in public? How did they get there? Why did no one notice a problem when a lady was about to be cut open by a table saw? It was gross, pointless and it just made me angry. Thumbs down.

36. Lawn Mower Trap (Saw The Final Chapter)

Another seemingly pointless trap. Two people we don’t know are dangling above upside-down lawnmowers and if one of them falls the other lives. This is not creative or cool and honestly you have a 50/50 chance of survival so it sucks.

37. The Cycle (Jigsaw)

Now this trap was disappointing, because I think it had some potential to be cool, but then it wasn’t. I can’t even describe it in normal human terms. I am completely at a loss at how this could happen on Earth, or how you could manage to not be shredded like cheese.

38. The Classroom (Saw 3)

This is a trap made by Amanda after she decided to just kill people rather than test them. Unfortunately, it was not nearly as cool as the Angle trap, it was just absolutely vile and uncomfortable to watch and made me want to throw up. So not cool, not survivable and grody. Next.

39. The Drill Chair (Saw 1)

This trap honestly made so little of an impression I didn’t even remember it. Why isn’t it closer to the middle then you ask? Well because it was practically impossible to escape. How does one find a key when you cannot move your body?

40. The Scalping Seat (Saw 4)

So this trap scored so low for a couple of reasons. Reason one, the lady had to rely on someone else to get her out before her test could begin. Reason two it was not cool. Reason number three it was bad and no one wants the details.

41. The Freezer Room (Saw 3)

This is another trap from Jeff’s Game, the first to be exact, and let me tell you, I am not a fan. This lady is stuck in a freezer room and she is definitely not dressed appropriately to be in below zero weather while being sprayed by cold water. Jeff has to get the key fast enough to save her, but she is frozen into an ice cube so fast he can’t. Her fate wasn’t in her hands.

More terrible traps to come…

“Remarkable. If not a little perverse”
