The Saw movies are unusual as far as horror franchises go in that the storyline continues directly from one movie to another — like seasons in a serial TV show — rather than repeating the same plot over and over (horny teens go to camp and get killed; next year, the same thing happens). As such, the Saw plot can be a little difficult to follow. Make that a LOT difficult. If you don’t mind some spoilers, here’s a recap of the story up ’til now in five short paragraphs. Take notes.
