A horror film is like diner food: rarely good, easy to avoid, and nobody expects to be amazed. 10 scary goodies which probably won't make it on any 'best of the decade' lists, but really deserve some notice. They're all interesting, well conceived ideas that influenced many copycats. I won't watch slasher films, so there's none of that
Saw business or helpless victims wandering alone in dark, deserted terrain where phones never work. Each of the ten has a ghost/vampire/zombie/monster or psychopath, but their victims wage a respectable defense.

You forgot about Saw VI.
I haven't seen the franchise, but from what I've read, the SAW protagonist/killer is hoping for the survival instinct to manifest in his victims. Shooting fish in a barrel (or in his case, torturing) just isn't interesting.
