I only saw SAW 1 when I decided to see this fanedit. I enjoyed the original but I am not a fan of gore movies like I used to be when I was a teen. So I decided to skip the sequels and jump into this directly.
Very well made, I didn’t feel lost at all; it seems to me that the editor cut down on the death traps to concentrate on the character of Jigsaw and his story. Which was a wise choice because a series of death traps would have felt very redundant very fast. In that sense it reminded me of Dexter where once the killer motif is established, we can move on to the story.
Sunarep did a great job at keeping the different visual styles of the different movies into a coherant whole. It’s not a perfect blend but thankfully the story is engrossing enough that any problems there are quickly forgotten.
This is a great achievement considering the monumental task of sewing 6 movies together. For the entertainment value and the achievement in editing, I give this fanedit a 8/10.
