Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

27. Saw II - The Needle Pit

Trap: During the Nerve Gas House game, Amanda had to look for the key to a door in a pit of syringes. This trap was actually meant for Xavier (Franky G), but he made Amanda do it instead.

This is a good Saw trap overall, since it's very stressful and disturbing to watch without ever feeling gratuitous, which is a trap (sorry) so many other Saw set-pieces have fallen into over the years.

Unfortunately, it's also too rushed to be a truly great set-piece, since it's over in less than a minute.
