☆ 20 Years of Impossible Choices in ‘Saw’
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Annie Aguiar | Joyce Ho | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +9 min

It can be hard to remember two decades later that the original “Saw” was less interested in gore than morality. In “Saw,” Cary Elwes’s character verbalizes the tension and appeal of the franchise: “He doesn’t want us to cut through our chains. “I’m going to try something else you haven’t seen before.”The classic tropes within “Saw” — serial killers, haunted detectives, creepy puppets — are mashed together and inverted around the undeniable binary of its core choice. In “Cube” (1997), an offbeat Canadian science fiction horror film, prisoners in a mysterious jail travel through rooms rigged with traps. Wan never directed another “Saw” movie, while Whannell contributed to “Saw II” and wrote the screenplay for “Saw III.”In the decades since “Saw” was released, Wan has directed tentpole franchise entries like “Aquaman” (2018) and “Furious 7” (2015).

Considering that the average annual cost of homeowners insurance for a $300,000 mortgage has increased 23% to $2,230 in the last year, it makes sense why some homeowners are foregoing insurance or letting their policies lapse to save money. "The question isn't, 'Can I afford homeowners insurance?'

But the club failed to qualify for this season's Champions League, Europe's premier competition, and currently sits 14th in the Premier League table after making its worst start to a season in 35 years. Ten Hag was informed of the decision less than 24 hours after a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United.
