Sawwas never supposed to launch a serial publication , but not only has it received eight sequel - includingChris Rock’sSpiral- but it spawned a whole subgenre . The original boast little in the way of actual gore , but its gruesome trap and focus on suffering would give rise to picture likeHostelorCaptivitythat focused on anguish . This motion is in general critically dismissed by critics , though the like of the firstSawor even New French Extremity motion-picture show likeInsideare still well - regarded .

The originalSawintroduced Amanda Young ( Shawnee Smith ) , a rectify drug junkie who is forced by Jigsaw ( AKA John Kramer ) to undergo the famous " Reverse Bear Trap " test . She barely escape with her life-time but claim Jigsaw ’s test help her , though she ’s by and by pulled back forSaw II . The winding of that sequel reveal she became one of Kramer ’s ( make for byTobin Bell , who almost had a bizarreSpiralcameo ) apprentices , but while he plan for her to come after him after he passed off from his cancer , she failed his concluding test and died inSaw III . However , the series lack a put-on by not make her the raw scoundrel .
In a sense , Saw IIIwould have been the gross ending to the saga . It closes with Kramer and Amanda dead - but even in death , Jigsaw still had his revenge onSaw III’s"hero " Jeff . Corrupt Detective Hoffman ( Costas Mandylor ) was another of John ’s secret students and claim over follow his demise , but he lacked Kramer ’s twisted " morality " and was a bare consecutive sea wolf . Sadly , Hoffman lacked the personal appeal and gravitas of Bell ’s Jigsaw , and given the path the character goes down , the serial should have just made Amanda YoungSaw’snew villain .
Saw’sAmanda Younghad a unaired , aroused connection to John , though it was clear she did n’t portion out his moral computer code . It would have been much more interesting to see her embark on a ego - destructive journey as the new Jigsaw and struggle to equilibrise the exercising weight of honoring Kramer ’s retention with her own twisted ( sometimes literally ) sentience of justice . have her couplet off against Elwes Dr. Gordon inSaw 3D- the original " finale " to the serial - would have also made for a good , circular arc . Smith ’s Amanda Young is one of the advantageously - grow characters in theSawfranchise , and induce a female horror icon fronting the series would have been a smart move . For better or bad , it was decidedSaw IIIwas the destruction of her journey - but it feels like there was still more chronicle left to tell with Amanda .
