Saw Cocktail

Welcome to this new spooky series, where we choose a film and create a fitting Cocktail to go alongside, I’ll give you a little history into each film and the know-how to create a delicious Cocktail.

SAW

The American Horror series was created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, there are currently 8 films in the Saw series, with a ninth on its way in 2021 called Spiral.

  • Saw (2004)
  • Saw II (2005)
  • Saw III (2006)
  • Saw IV (2007)
  • Saw V (2008)
  • Saw VI (2009)
  • Saw VII (2010)
  • Jigsaw (2017)
  • Spiral (2021) Chris Rock & Samuel L. Jackson

The Saw movie franchise saw a release each year from 2004 to 2010 with the eighth releasing 7 years later in 2017.

The Saw films are full of surprising twists and turns along with a load of truly gruesome traps, the story is planned out to take you on a journey, sometimes just a single line said by one character can be the thing to tie in the entire story, the films have very satisfying endings, cringe-worthy traps and a constant wonder on whether your favourite character will survive.

Do You Want To Play A Game

To combine with the film franchise, two video games have been released, including Saw: The Video Game and Saw II: Flesh & Blood with both games released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
