Worst Horror Franchise!

Rating: 1/10 (29 October 2007)

I originally loved this series. Saw was original, and it was the biggest cinematic twist since The Empire Strikes Back, The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects. It was a horror without needing to be a cliché horror and follow all the rules.
Saw contained a story about Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) who's given a test by an unknown person, to kill the other man in the room, Adam (Leigh Whannell). Adam's test is simply not allow himself to get killed. As the movie progresses, we learn that these two more about each other than they first let on.
Every Halloween, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures had a new Saw film come out, despite initially that director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell didn't have plans to make a sequel. It eventually grew to a substantial fan base.
By 2005, people had been split into two groups, logical and Gordonites. This was due to the fact that people were displeased with Gordon's fate not being shown or referenced which made people come up with theories for the next five years. Eventually, Saw 3D writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan wrote the character back in, using basically every idiotic idea from the fans over the years.
It ended up ruining my experience of the franchise that I had paid into for the last seven years. I feel cheated knowing I was lied to for the last six years and that Hoffman was the final accomplice to Jigsaw.
It's simply the worst horror franchise to date, thanks to how the writers ruined the whole series by being lazy and using all the fan ideas. Gordon's fate ruined multiple characters including: himself, Jigsaw, Amanda, Hoffman, and Adam. Plus, his fate ruined the storyline of Hoffman and Amanda being an accomplice. It also ruined the history of Jigsaw's work and it ruined a lot of crucial elements such as the timeline and flashbacks.
It could have been the best horror franchise of all time, but with the sloppiness and illogical conclusion it is now the worst.
