Is Saw 1 or 2 scarier?
Saw 2 is just as scary and suspenseful as the original. The death traps are very creative and some of the twists are unpredictable. The original Saw was a very suspenseful film that actually terrified its audience. The sequel is more or less the same except its much bloodier. So the idea of anything in the Saw franchise being even remotely rooted in reality is, to put it simply, horrifying. But writers Leigh Whannell and James Wan revealed that the first film in the franchise has a lot of real-world inspiration, and shared the true stories that formed the gorey franchise.
