Jason Concepcion from Grantland.com wants you to think so. He certainly has some very compelling arguments. Kevin was able to contrive these elaborate traps for Harry and Marv not unlike the traps that Jigsaw set for his victims. The internet is full of conspiracy theories, (what The Rugrats is really about, the connections between the entire Pixar universe) but I must say, this one makes a lot of sense.
It’s notable, I think, that most of Kevin’s home-defense devices are triggered by the victim, just as Jigsaw’s traps are. And from the very beginning, Kevin/Jigsaw has been using fire to dispatch victims. Kevin caused Harry’s hand to be burned when the older man grabbed a white-hot doorknob, and he rigged a blowtorch trap that triggers when Harry opens a door, resulting in the thief’s head being burned down to the skull.
Home Alone or Saw? You be the judge .
He goes on to list several comparisons between the two and after reading it he certainly has me convinced, but click the picture below and give it a read yourself to draw your own conclusions.
