Which is the first Saw movie?

Saw is a 2004 American horror film directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell based on a narrative by Wan and Whannell. It stars Whannell, Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Michael Emerson, Ken Leung, and Tobin Bell, and is the first episode in the Saw film series.

The movie follows a nonlinear story that revolves around the mystery of the Jigsaw Killer, who puts his victims through lethal ‘games’ in which they must inflict immense physical suffering on themselves to survive. The frame story follows Jigsaw’s most recent victims, who awaken in a vast rundown bathroom with one of them being told to kill the other to save his own family.

Whannell, who co-created the story with Wan in their respective screenwriting debuts, wrote the screenplay. It was written in 2001, but after several fruitless attempts to get the script produced in Wan and Whannell’s native Australia, they were advised to fly to Los Angeles. They made a low-budget short movie of the same name based on a sequence from the script to help attract producers. In 2003, this proved to be a success, as Evolution Entertainment producers were instantly attached, and Twisted Pictures, a horror genre production label, was founded. The film was made on a shoestring budget of $1.2 million in 18 days.

On October 31, 2014, the film was re-released in select theatres to commemorate its tenth anniversary. Saw II, the first sequel, was published in 2005.
