Saw X has been described as the perfect film for 'horror freaks'

The tenth instalment has already become the highest rated film in the Saw franchise.

Saw X premieres in cinemas around the world today (September 29) and it's been dubbed the perfect film for 'horror freaks'.

The tenth instalment to the franchise has already racked up some pretty impressive reviews from those lucky enough to see it before it was released.

So much so that it's now the best rated Saw film in the saga.

Discussing Film's Andrew J. Salazar said in his assessment: "This is for the horror freaks, for those who have stood by this franchise’s side through thick and thin.

"Imperfect sure, but Saw X is still a great film on its own merits, not just because of its violence or gore.

"Though the traps are extremely memorable as they go back into the realm of possibility, resulting in gruesome visuals will scar viewers’ minds."

To be honest, the games and traps featured in the later Saw films were a little over the top.

While you have to suspend belief in these types of movies, it was pretty difficult to believe that an ordinary person was able to bring these killer designs to life largely on their own.

However, it seems like they're going back to basics for the tenth film.

It currently has an 83 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which sits very comfortably clear of second, which is Saw on 50 per cent.

We get to see Tobin Bell back as the legendary John Kramer/Jigsaw and things get very personal this time round.

It is set between the events of Saw and Saw II and sees Kramer travel to Mexico to get an experimental cancer treatment.

However, he discovers it was all just a scam to get his money.

"Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps," the synopsis says.

The film has been rated R because it contains drug use, language, grisly bloody violence, and torture.

So, pretty much everything you have come to expect from a Saw film.

Critics have described it as a 'well-told tale' that has 'a heavy emphasis on his mentor/protégé connection with Amanda that strikes the ideal balance between standing on its own two feet and enhancing franchise mythology'.

It's available to watch in cinemas from today so go and see what all the fuss is about.
