If you somehow enjoy not being able to sleep at night, you've come to the right place. When it comes to horror, we get it; The kid sees dead people, a priest waterboards a possessed girl to get rid of a demon, Ghostface likes to make anonymous phone calls when you're home alone, and a hot serial killer is on the loose (hi, Christian Bale!). The possibilities are endless when it comes to scary movies. Sometimes it takes a disturbing franchise to really allow us to let go and enjoy a good scare, and there are few more successful examples of this than the Saw movie franchise.

It has been almost 20 years since the first Saw movie debuted, and it's been a long road of blood, twists, and "games." Recently, Saw X hit the theaters, despite John Kramer "dying" over the past two decades. In this new Saw movie, he travels to Mexico on the hunt for a cure for his brain cancer and undergoes a risky procedure, only to discover everyone who "helped" him is a fraud. It's a bad thing to scam anyone, but to scam a serial killer? Bless their hearts.

Before you buy Saw X tickets, check out the previous movies so you can see Jigsaw's horrible history. There is an intense build-up to this film, and it's important for you to dive into his story.

Here's where you can watch all of the Saw movies in order.

Saw (2004)
