Ep. 121: Slasher Series Round 4: Saw: Revisiting a Classic, & The Torture Film Genre

On the final round of Slasher Series, we do the classic
slasher/torture porn film; Saw. One of the first mainstream films
that exhibited such gruesome and visceral scenes of pain. We deep
dive into how this movie is a combination of a slasher and pain
film with the idea of torture set pieces and how that connects
with most slasher blueprints. We also talk about James Wan and
what he’s accomplished after this film.


Thank you all for participating in the Slasher Series! We had a
lot of fun seeing the results of everything and seeing what
people wanted to see. There’s still lightning round voting to see
who this the GRAND WINNER, stay tuned in out stories to vote!
