There are a total of 7 films making up the Saw franchise with another in production, each revolving around a sadistic killer called Jigsaw, who sets his victims torturous challenges, which require them to mutilate themselves in order to escape death.

In 2009, two teenagers, aged 14 and 15 were charged as juveniles with three counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping after one of the boy's mothers overheard them planning to kidnap, torture and murder several people.

The two boys had detailed plans to set up Saw-style games to teach lessons to people they claimed were harming others, including a police officer and two young girls. The boys had even procured cameras in order to document the murders just as Jigsaw does in the Saw movies.
