Perhaps it's the one of the most creepy and sickening shots in the Saw.

* The Rack (pictured). Imagine being placed on a crucifix which will break your arms, legs, and neck SEPARATELY by slowly twisting them. How does the victim escape this fate? Well, their survival isn't up to them. Their only hope is a second person who has to grab a key to stop the device. Said key is attached to a chain that if pulled on too much will cause a shotgun to shoot them in the face. Oh, and the contraption is triggered to start a few seconds after the tape that explains the rules finishes. And to further screw the victim over: the person who has to grab the key to release him just happens to be ''the father of the child the victim accidentally killed''.

* Jigsaw's brain surgery. Regardless of whether you like the character or not, it's unbelievably nerve-wracking to watch a doctor cutting through someone's skull with a ''circular saw'', with the patient not having any anaesthetics.
* The Freezing Room, in which the victim is hung [[FanDisservice naked]] in a walk-in freezer and sprayed with cold water, causing them to freeze to death. This was probably one of the more forgettable traps, however if you've ever taken a shower when the water starts too cold and you remember the trap, it does make one a little ''[[FridgeHorror uncomfortable.]]'' In context, this trap also seems ''[[DisproportionateRetribution harsher]]'' to the victim, who was only there because she fled the crime scene of the death of Jeff's son, in which she was the only witness. Of course it was cowardly and a pretty jerky move, but did she ''really'' deserve to die? Even scarier is that this death trap doesn't involve any bloodshed, a rarity in this franchise.

** At the beginning, a track that [[{{Sample}} samples]] Music/{{Slayer}}'s "Eyes of the Insane" (a song disturbing on its own) plays in the background, which can add a bonus factor if you recognize it (as unlikely as it may be).

* The Pig Vat. The victim is placed in a neck shackle on the bottom of a vat connected to a shredder. On the ceiling above is a hook conveyor that begins dropping [[NauseaFuel rotten, maggot-infested pig carcasses]] into the shredder, gradually filling the vat with liquefied pig guts. It's not a subtle rise either; each time a pig is dropped in the victim is absolutely ''splattered'' with thick brown viscera. It's easily the most disgusting trap in the franchise, and once again a trap that relies on the charity of another person to rescue you. This time the victim is fortunate enough to escape, but not before being submerged ''up to his eyes.'' All this happens while a remix of Slayer's "Eyes of the Insane" plays in the background.

* Jigsaw's brain surgery. Regardless of whether you like the character or not, it's unbelievably nerve-wracking to watch a doctor cutting through someone's skull with a ''circular saw''. And he didn't even have general anesthetic! Oh yeah, and she also used a ''[[ThisIsADrill drill]]'' on him, as if the saw wasn't creepy enough.
** TruthInTelevision, actually. General anesthesia is a big no-no during brain surgery, since the seconds lost if something were to go horribly wrong are precious ones. You'd want the patient to be conscious so you could know immediately when things start to go downhill.

* Detective Matthews smashing his foot with a toilet tank lid and snapping it downwards to remove the chain from his leg. And then fighting with Amanda, who kicks in his ankle on her way out, causing it to break in another spot. The sound effects and screaming don't help much.
