The horror genre has always been a playground for filmmakers to explore the darkest corners of human psychology, and the Saw franchise has been at the forefront of this exploration. With its intricate traps and moral dilemmas, the series has left audiences both horrified and intrigued. The latest installment, Saw X, promises to take this legacy even further, as evidenced by a newly released clip that has left fans both excited and disturbed.
In a scene that’s sure to become iconic, Saw X introduces us to a new terrifying trap: the Eye Vacuum Trap. The clip below paints a nightmarish scenario. A hospital custodian finds himself in a dire situation, strapped to a chair in a dimly lit room. Attached to his eyes are two elongated plastic tubes, and his fingers are ensnared by mechanical devices. The ever-menacing Jigsaw, or John Kramer, presents the custodian with a chilling challenge: he has a mere 60 seconds to turn a dial five times. Each turn results in the agonizing breakage of a finger. The stakes? Failure to complete the task will lead to the loss of his vision, thanks to the tubes connected to his eyes.
