Don't bother. They didn't make any after the third one in my opinion. They've sucked and been pointless since. Considering the first three were three of my favourite horrors ever, that's saying something.
^ This man speaks the truth tbh. I like the Saw series and Tobin Bell etc but it just have been repetitive and stale since Saw 4 and all it does is circle around to how Jigsaw became the way he did in every movie.

No the 4th is good dammit.
I can't really defend the 5th though. I mean it was a decent watch but it really wasn't that great, and I'm as big a Saw fan as you'll meet.

I'll introduce you to my friend Andy. He's the world's biggest Saw fan. Write Saw on a piece of paper and he'll cry with joy.

The concept was decent, but I felt the execution lacked something. It was a clever idea, and could've been very very good indeed, but once it was done it didn't need another sequel at all really. But it wasn't very good, and they kept making them. I don't like it.
This is a series that needs to die quickly if they want to salvage any sort of good reputation. The original was scary, creative, raw, fresh and most important unpredictable. However, starting with the second film, it quickly lost all of the good qualities. While it hasn't been a complete downward spiral (I feel as if 3 was better than 2, 4 was horrible and 5 was better than 4, but not as good as 2), every one is just an excuse for a surprise ending (Which none have captured the shock of the first) and creative kills. When the only selling point to your movies is how the kills are done, you're not doing something right.
Had Saw 2 never been made, Saw would be regarded as one of the more clever hidden gems ever in horror cinema. True, the Saw name wouldn't have been as well known, but I feel it's better than being known for pointless film only to appeal to gore hounds. Saw became everything it was supposed to not be about. It's just yet another mainstream series that lacks anything original.
At least Cube remains what it was back in the 90's.
