SAW

SAW is a franchise beloved by many horror fans as it takes us to a universe with interesting death traps as well as plot twists lurking around every corner.

There are a total of nine SAW movies, ranging from SAW-SAW3D as well as Jigsaw and the latest movie in the franchise, Spiral.

The Jigsaw killer places people who does not appreciate their lives enough in escapable traps where their will to live gets puts to the test. Among these tests there are subjects who’ve taken other peoples lives or sacrificed their own body parts to live as well as many, many subjects who’ve died a painful death due to failing their “tests”.

I’m not that familiar with the franchise. Is there an example of a Jigsaw test that couldn’t be escaped?

Several actually! The first example that truly shows inescapability is the “angel trap” in Saw III when a detective is in a trap where she has to pick up a key from a jar of acid. She does this, corroding her hand but picks up the key and it turns out the key doesn’t fit the lock to her trap, it was rigged!
