It’s probably about time we got a few more amateur Saw parodies. The franchise is indeed rife with possibilities, and today, we tackle Saw XIV, or, The One Where Saw Constantly Screws Up.
The title basically gives away the premise and the plot–Jigsaw’s death traps (now Hoffman’s death traps) have always been mechanically complex wonders of amateur engineering. But what would happen if those darn death traps just wouldn’t work right?
They’ve got a really good point, actually. All this stuff is incredibly complex–I mean, just one slipped gear or misfired sparkplug and the next thing you know, blammo! No death trap.
And the best part is, this is actually really funny. Though as it turns out, it’s not alone. Just because I hadn’t heard of them before, apparently there are a LOT of Saw parodies out there.
The downside here is that the movie was made clearly by people who either didn’t see the Saw series or didn’t watch much of it, as they’re continually referring to Jigsaw as “Saw”, not to mention dressing him up like Little Billy, when we really should be seeing either Jigsaw himself or the “replacement” Jigsaw that is Detective Hoffman.
Anyway, the Screenhead Ten Scale just wiped away a tear of hilarious laughter and hands Saw XIV a seven out of ten. Admittedly, it’s low budget, and they clearly only have a loose idea of what they’re parodying, but the comedy more than makes up for the lack of effects work.

Hey Dude Who Reviewed This! Thanks for spreading the word about our video! We really appreciate it! I know our incongruities made you sad, but we did know that he’s not really called Saw (he in fact doesn’t even like being called Jigsaw) and that he doesn’t wear the Billy mask. We just got such a kick out of calling him Saw that we couldn’t stop ourselves! And we figured the Billy mask, while incorrect, was more identifiable to the general public than the pig mask, which would have been more accurate. Thanks again for taking the time to check out our stuff!
