Welcome to the Kill Count where we tally up the victims in all of our favourite horror movies! I'm James A. Janisse and today we are looking at Saw, a low-budget film with a big impact released in 2004. Directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, Saw is one of the most influential horror films ever made. Injecting life and brutality into a genre that had grown stagnant with Scream knockoffs aimed at teenagers. It was so successful, it would go on to spawn six sequels on an annual basis throughout the rest of the decade with an eighth film, Jigsaw, hitting theatres last year and a ninth movie all but confirmed at this point.
