The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Saw X is a 2023 American horror film directed and edited by Kevin Greutert, and written by Peter Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg. It is the tenth installment in the Saw film series, following Spiral (2021) and stars Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, who reprise their roles from the previous films, alongside Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Renata Vaca, and Michael Beach. Set between the events of Saw (2004) and Saw II (2005), the film sees John Kramer (Bell) travelling to Mexico in hopes that an experimental procedure may cure his terminal cancer. John later discovers that the operation is a scam, prompting him to kidnap those responsible and subject them to his trademark death traps as retribution, with Amanda Young (Smith) acting as his accomplice. A tenth installment was reported to be in development with Twisted Pictures in April 2021, when Stolberg and Goldfinger, writers for the previous two entries of the series, announced that they had completed the script in December 2021. Greutert, who had directed two other installments of the series and edited six, was also confirmed as the film's director. Filming took place between October 2022 and February 2023 in Mexico City. Saw X was theatrically released by Lionsgate Films on September 29, 2023. It grossed $125 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews from critics, making it the best-reviewed Saw film. Following a tumultuous pre-production regarding a follow-up to Saw X, Blumhouse Productions bought out Twisted Pictures' stake in the franchise in June 2025, with Lionsgate retaining substantial ownership, making this film the last Saw film to be produced by Twisted Pictures.
