After Hours: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (plot comparison): After Hours → Saw. Fiorentino's Kiki is jigsaw-like and the sculpture is set up from the start like Saw's traps.
    “And it is like saw in that it's like the sculpture's there from the beginning.”

Rocky (franchise): 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Rocky (franchise) → Saw. Rocky is at home in meat lockers, a Saw staple, but not a puzzle solver.
    “he does spend a lot of time in meat lockers”

The Strangers: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): The Strangers → Saw. The Strangers arrived amid the torture-porn wave (Saw, Hostel) but works by randomness and withholding rather than gore.
    “there was also a kind of torture porn, uh, saw hostile, you know, those films were also very popular in the horror mainstream.”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Saw: Billy the puppet would beat Rocky because he is too small to reach.
    “I just imagined like the puppet's bicycling around him.”
