Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Saw 3D - The Public Execution Trap

Trap: Brad (Sebastian Pigott) and Ryan (Jon Cor) were at two ends of the table, with a circular saw next to each, while Dina (Anna Greene), a mutual lover who'd manipulated them into breaking the law for her, was dangling above another saw. In order to save her, one of the men had to push the saw away from her, which would kill the other one.

This film's first and best trap was a superbly-executed scene that was both brilliantly entertaining to watch and gloriously brutal. It was so good that not even some pretty awful acting could bring it down.

The ending to the scene, in which Brad and Ryan turn on Dina and let her die is is also darkly hilarious, especially this exchange:

Dina: "What are you doing, you f**king assholes?!"

Ryan: "I think we're breaking up with you, Dina!"

If nothing else, this trap strongly suggests this franchise should've dabbled in dark comedy a bit more than it ultimately did.
