Movies that feel likeSaw X (2023)

Between the events of 'Saw' and 'Saw II', a sick and desperate John Kramer travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer, only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.

If you loved Saw X, the closest films we have are Final Destination Bloodlines (2025), The Medium (2021) and Paranormal Activity 3 (2011). All three share Saw X's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018).
