Saw is a horror film franchise created by James Wan and Leigh Whannel, beginning in 2003 and continuing to this day.
The series stars a cancer patient named John Kramer, known by the media as the Jigsaw killer, who puts test subjects in several death traps. The test subjects usually have to go through physical, psychological, and/or emotional torture to escape. Later in the franchise, Jigsaw's apprentices carry on his legacy by continuing his work albeit with their own goals in mind. There are so far nine films in existence, with a 10th film and a TV series in the works.
Villains will be listed in bold. Main/secondary protagonists will be listed in italics.
