Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

1. Saw - The Bathroom Trap

Trap: Dr Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes), an arrogant and unfaithful oncologist and Adam (Leigh Whannell), a voyeuristic photographer, wake up chained in a bathroom. Gordon is told that he must kill Adam by 6 PM, or his wife and daughter will be murdered. Adam's test is simply to escape.

All these years later, the Bathroom Trap remains the great game Jigsaw has ever played.

It's a brilliantly suspenseful and unpredictable death game that piles on the shocks and twists - right up until its jaw-dropping ending - but better still, it's also intensely thought-provoking.

This entire game, with its pain, gore, horrifying moral choices and brutally disturbing twists, is a devastatingly effective depiction of people's mistakes coming back to haunt them, and even the thought of that ending is enough to give one the shivers.

Twisted, gripping, haunting, thrilling and messed-up as all hell, this is the unquestionable gold standard of Saw traps and it's hard to imagine it ever being topped.
