10 Most Disturbing Saw Movie Traps

10. Reverse Beartrap (Various)

The Reverse Beartrap is undoubtedly the most iconic trap in the franchise. It's both one of the first traps introduced and one of the last shown before the reboot, and it's almost a shock to newcomers that we don't see it actually kill anyone until the end.

So how does it work? It's placed on the victims head, with steel plates in the victims mouth, and if it hasn't been removed in time, it snaps open, tearing the victim's jaw open and killing them instantly.

So why is this iconic trap so low in the list? Well, it kills its victims a lot faster than most traps, and by the time we actually see it work, although undoubtedly gruesome, we've seen seven movies of gore by then. It also loses points because it's more often used as a murder weapon, as opposed to giving victims a chance to escape.
