On coming to Mexico, John was driven to a clinic and was introduced to Cecilia together with her team—Dr. Cortez, Mateo, and Valentina, and also to patients Parker and Gabriela and Carlos, the caretaker’s younger son, with whom he bonded. John went under for a surgery and awakened to Cecilia and telling him that he’s now cancer-free. Discovering the new lease on his life, he purchases the gift for Gabriela.

Writer’s Observation

At this point in time, it would be hard to say that ‘Saw’ had been the most reliable horror series that has ever made. To become 10 movies in and still placing out masterpieces is really a thing that must not be taken for granted. And this movie is one masterpiece. This movie is everything that an audience will ever wish and more.

The drives of Kramer and whether they’re justified or not had been a good discussion among the horror lovers and this ‘Saw’ fans alike. The movie is aware of that for sure. It makes numerous references to this argue and they’re done in a manner that is mutually slightly tongue in the cheek and deadly serious also of what’s coming out in Kramer’s mouth. This movie is a bit different with the others in the sequence however. At this time, there is a revenge plot, also no matter where the audience stand on Kramer, he’s likely going to become the undisputed protagonist here. The revenge element had been a brilliant addition in the series. It added one more layer to the wickedness that the audience are witnessing and then makes everything more layered.
