Description: The pungent aroma of decay, both literal and metaphorical, hangs heavy in the air throughout *Saw X*. This isn't just another gruesome spectacle; it's a surprisingly poignant exploration of John Kramer's fractured psyche, delving into the motivations behind his twisted methods with a raw, unsettling honesty. While the traps remain inventively horrifying, the film transcends the gore, focusing on the agonizing human cost of desperation and the complex moral grey areas of redemption. *Saw X* is a brutal, yet surprisingly introspective chapter in the franchise, leaving you pondering the true nature of justice long after the credits roll.
