Top 10 SAW traps - Part 2 (Spoilers)

If you missed the first part, click here.

Well, the first part of this blog series received mixed reactions from you guys, you either found it intriguing, or you were disgusted. Fair enough, but it won't stop me from writing more gruesome descriptions about the last 5 traps :P

SPOILERS AHEAD!

------------------------------------------------

#5 - The Blade Table (Saw 5)

Upon realising all 5 people in the 'game' should have reached this stage, and it was a test of co-operation, not survival of the fitest, Brit and Malick are the only people remaining up to this point in Jigsaw's game, and what they have to do to get out, will certainly make you cringe. They have to insert there hands into the hole where the saw blade is, with the objective of filling the 10 pint glass beaker to the top with blood. If they worked together from the beginning (do the maths) they would have survived easily. Jigsaw obviously anticipates human error, and claims that 2 people can survive because the body can survive with only half the amount in you. They eventually insert there arm into the hole where the saw blade starts slicing down the centre of their hand. Their arms are now stuck in this hole now, and very slowly their arms are moved further into the saw blade, until eventually the jar is filled, and the result is their forearm being sawed in half. This is probably the most visceral of the saw traps, extremely bloodthirsty and difficult to watch. How much blood would you shed to stay alive...?

#4 - The Pendulum Trap (Saw 5)

Tied down to a metal table with two vices next to his hands, this victim is a killer, and to escape the trap he must destroy the 2 things he's killed with - his hands. This was one of Mark Hoffman's inescapable traps, since the victim in the trap killed his sister and didn't get the death sentence he deserved. Well, in this trap, justice was served. Above the victim is a giant, sharp pendulum that is swinging (just like a normal clock) side to side. Its slowly getting lower and lower, until it eventually cuts him in half.

#3 - The Garage Trap (Saw 7)

This trap is the most controversial Saw trap. The producers called it "Too disgusting, Too violent, and just wrong". They didn't put it in previous Saw movies for that reason. Its also the one trap in the Saw movies that includes 4 deaths at once. Here's how it works:

A man named Evan wakes up, glued to the driver's seat of a car that is propped up on its hind wheels. Evan is told by a tape placed in the tape deck of the car that his friends are in the garage with him and are also a part of his game, and that in order to prevent them from dying through a chain of events, he must reach a lever located in front of him on the outer side of the windshield within 30 seconds. One of his friends Dan is located behind the car, with his arms and jaw chained to the rear end of the car, and his body to a pole behind it. His girlfriend Kara is strapped down underneath one of the propped-up wheels, and his third friend Jake is chained to the garage door directly in front of the car.

In order to pull the lever, Evan has to reach forward and tear a massive portion of his skin off to disconnect from the carseat. The stationary car is also slowly accelerating as the timer counts down. Evan eventually fails to reach far enough in time and the car's hind wheels are released, causing one of the wheels to fall onto Kara's face, crushing it. The accelerating car then speeds in the direction of the garage door and rips Dan chained to the car's arms and jaw off, while speeding through and ultimately killing Jake chained to the garage door. The trap ends with the car having a head on collision with another empty car outside of the garage and Evan being thrown through the window by the impact.

The deaths are really gruesome and brutal, and this is by far the most violent Saw trap to date.

-------------------------------------------------------

#2 - The Blade Train (Saw 7)

This isn't an official Jigsaw trap, but only a dream Jill Tuck has after the realisation that Hoffman may be after her.

She is suspended by chains between to rails, unable to move. Hoffman then taunts Jill, before starting the pointed cart-like vehicle up, it then gathers speed along the rails before the blade quadrecepts Jill and sliced directly through her body with plenty of splattering blood.

-------------------------------------------------------------

#1 - The Reverse Bear Trap (Saw 1, Saw 6, Saw 7)

By far my favourite Saw trap, that was used in 3 Saw movies. It was first used in Saw on Amanda Young, but she escaped, and a modified version was then used on Hoffman in Saw 6, but he also somehow escaped. But then, confirming my thoughts, it made a final return in Saw 7, and Hoffman used the orginal Reverse Bear Trap to kill Jill.

Basically, it works exactly how it sounds. The trap is placed on the victim's head, with 2 parts being connected to the upper and lower jaw. if they failed to escape in time, the trap would snap open, permanently ripping the jaw open.

Well, I expect similar reactions as before, possibly less comments too, but I enjoyed writing up the descriptions, so all I can hope is you enjoyed my vivid descriptions. :) :P

Later everyone!
