WAS — A Saw Parody | Next Film Summer 2026

"Hello Richard. Let's play a game." WAS is a horror-parody (much more parody than horror) of the SAW franchise that examines what exactly happens when an elaborate death trap of Jigsaw's (Thomas Costa) usual variety takes... longer than expected... to work on his victim of choice, Richard (Caroline Liu).
