The End: Bobby fails to save his wife, Hoffman kills Jill, and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, a secret Jigsaw apprentice, kills Hoffman as punishment.

Here's an ending where everything about it sucks, and yes, that means everything.

Bobby's (Sean Patrick Flannery) entire game felt like an unsatisfying waste of time since he failed to save anyone. The death of Jill (Betsy Russell), one of the franchise's best characters, felt empty and unearned. And the Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) twist was both painfully obvious and astonishingly stupid. Why would he gladly join forces with a man who tried to murder his wife and daughter?

It's nothing more than a series of gory, meaningless death scenes in Saw 3D, with the death of Bobby's wife feeling particularly cruel, while none of the franchise's characters get a satisfying end. As a result, this doesn't feel like the ending to a franchise at all and there's a sense that no-one has really gained any closure.

Make no mistake, this is one of the most infuriatingly awful horror endings in recent memory.

In this case, a reboot was justified. Imagine how depressing it would've been had this really been the end of Saw.
