In 2023, A24 made Oscar history with “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” winning the most awards for a single film since “Dune (2021)” with seven awards.

With the tenth film in the franchise, “Saw X,” being released on Sept. 29, here is my personal ranking of the nine “Saw” films from worst to best.
