10 ways Saw V might end

Matt Edwards


Matt had no intention of ever seeing a Saw movie again. Until the Saw 5 slogan 'You Won't Believe How It Ends' set him thinking...

Published on Oct 15, 2008

Those guys that make the Saw movies; they’re cheeky fuckers. Just when you think you’re passed having to see another Saw movie, they find a way to hook you back in.

Five films in, I can safely say that the Saw movies aren’t for me. I was all set to ignore Saw V up until I saw that bastard poster with its advertising slogan of doom.

‘You Won’t Believe How It Ends’

‘Pfft’ I scoffed ‘I think I probably will believe how it ends. I think I already believe that it ends exactly the fucking same as the last pissing one did. Right? I mean probably. The chances of them doing something a bit different that’s actually interesting… there’s no way. Is there? It would just be… well they might. Almost definitely not, but it is…’

Shit. So I’m apparently seeing Saw V now. Lucky me. This did get me thinking about what the ending could possibly be. Here’s what I think are the 10 most likely possibilities.

1. Umm, you remember how in the first Saw it seemed like it was that one guy but then it turned out that it wasn’t and that he was being made to do it by the actual Jigsaw? Well, the ‘actual’ Jigsaw was actually working for someone else too (you remember all that stuff that happened with him in Saw 3? Well that was actually a dream). At the end of Saw V, we get to meet the REAL Jigsaw… or do we?

2. It turns out that Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time.

3. The killer, whoever it turns out to be, kills everyone, steals a painting and a bag of diamonds before jumping on a plane to London, where he’ll banter with, and torture, the criminal underworld, setting the scene for ‘Guy Richie’s Saw 6’

4. It turns out that Bruce Willis wasn’t a ghost the whole time.

5. It turns out to be an alien/cult conspiracy like it did in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 and Halloween 6.

6. The killer, whoever it turns out to be, kills everyone, loads up their cases with shoes and designer outfits and heads for New York to shop and gossip with obnoxious rich women, setting the scene for ‘Saw 6: Saw and the City’

7. Jigsaw gets shut down when his traps don’t meet health and safety standards (it’s a PC world gone mad!)

8. It’s revealed that Jigsaw is actually a computer program and that we could have stopped all of these Saw-quels if only someone had pressed the escape key, or held down the power button for 5 seconds, at the end of the first one.

9. The killer, whoever it turns out to be, is busted by the police and locked up with a wise old man who tells him to start up a prison library and to try to escape from prison to live on a nice beach somewhere, setting the scene for ‘The SawShank Redemption’

10. It turns out that there is another Jigsaw/Jigsaw isn’t dead/Jigsaw has a twin brother/Jigsaw has a malicious talking pet and that we’re all nicely set up for a sequel with as little fuss as possible.

Add your suggestions below... plus, tell us: are you going to see Saw 5?

Im not going to see saw V. I think it'll end with jigsaw in space aiming large nuclear rockets at critical points on the earth, then asking world leaders if they'd like to "Play a game". Actually how i hope it ends is with large letters on the screen saying "NO ONE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, BUT IT IS THE FUCKING END."

Hasn't Saw 6 already got a release date for next year? That ending is years away yet...

It's depressing how in Saw 1, you could genuninly say "oOOoo...didn't see that coming, how clever" to saw 5 "that certainly was gory, pass the popcorn"

Saw VI does indeed have a release date. They're also doing a reality show with James Gunn and Shawnee Smith to cast the next Final Girl/Jigsaw Jiggly Assistant for the Saw series.

I think a bigger question is: Does anyone care anymore?

It should end with an apology...as the very least.

"End", I love how they taunt us with that distant and unlikely possibility...

I'm a little bit annoyed on two counts. The first is that no one has pointed out how hilarious 'The SawShank Redemption' is. The second is that after SawFan's 'If you want to say something to my face, do it online', I'm not even sure 'Sawshank' is the funniest thing on this page anymore.

Saw 6: Saw and the City was so very close to Saw: 6 and the city :-) Nice list Matt, I especially like the Guy Ritchie effort. Not a huge Saw fan..the first two were good, but then I lost interest..

"I could careless what the reports and saw haters think its my kind of movie so just shut the fuck you stupid asshole pricks of satan's bitches" Who let the writer of Saw 6 in here?

If you want to say something to my FACE ... contact me on YAHOO? Haha. I think it's clear what the effect of too many Saw films can do; afer a while you start to believe your face is a laptop screen.

If you put aside the "trap" scenes (which invariably is all the critics of "Saw" focus on), the "Saw" movies are actually one of the best plotted movie series around. Each movie has scenes that are given a new meaning when we see future/past events in another movie and plot lines are setup sometimes 2 or 3 movies in advance. I'm not pretending this was all planned from the beginning, but they fit together better than "Lost", and for that reason alone I'll be there for Saw 5 and beyond.

Jigsaw had to start somewhere, im sure that there are a number of botched 'early years' experiments with loads of people walking around with the odd scar and are just a little peeved with him. what if these people grouped togeather to form a small rebellion that then lead to an out an out war. So begins the latest Trilogy 'Saw Wars'!!

Saw started out with a good thing but, like all good horror films, they've beaten it into the fucking ground. I'll see the sixth one because I wanna know what's in the box.

Saw V. Sigh. Will you believe how it ends? Or, more to the point, will you believe it ends?
