Saw (franchise)
''Saw'' is a horror franchise created by Australian film makers James Wan and Leigh Whannell, consisting of nine feature films and additional media.

Kramer was killed off in ''Saw III'', but the films continued to focus on his posthumous influence, particularly by his apprentices, and explore his character via flashbacks.
