Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released in 2009 at peak healthcare reform debate; the William storyline was explicitly inspired by real insurance horror stories. Bell and screenwriters consulted medical ethicists.
Director Kevin Greutert was editing The Final Destination when forced to direct this instead — his revenge was making it the best-reviewed Saw since the original.
