Its relentless tension, extreme gore, and psychological horror make it a franchise with a legion of fans worldwide. And the best way to realize its success is by looking at the number of movies it has spawned: it has already reached 10, but has it maintained its quality all this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite having some uneven entries, the Saw franchise has managed to keep its reputation intact since the first installment. But it&#8217;s surprising that <strong>Saw X, the latest film to come out of the franchise<\/strong>, has received such positive feedback. It&#8217;s actually the highest-rated Saw movie, surpassing even the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saw X Trailer (2023)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4EhX5ynyBU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A movie that returns to the origins of the franchise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen on Rotten Tomatoes, the review aggregator that recently stirred controversy, <strong>Saw X has an 85% approval rating from critics, based on 98 reviews<\/strong>. This number is remarkable, especially considering that horror films are often poorly rated, especially a gore-heavy style like Saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what&#8217;s even more noteworthy is the audience&#8217;s response. Saw X has been liked by 91% of its viewers, making it the film with the best response in a long time. Undoubtedly, it&#8217;s a pleasant surprise in a rather inconsistent year for horror. But <strong>what do the critics highlight the most about Saw X?
