Although, “Saw VI” is being released this coming October, the latest Saw film of the franchise, Lionsgate has decided to greenlight “Saw VII” early. The same producers and the same writers are back with the next installment.

David Hackl, who directed “Saw V” is in talks to direct “Saw VII”.

While I’m a huge fan of most horror franchises, I love Friday the 13th, I love Nightmare on Elm St., I love Halloween, I love Hellraiser…but I can’t stand the Saw series. I don’t like ’em for some reason.

It’s not that I find the gross out scenes offensive, I’m never offended at gross out scenes in movies.

I guess I just don’t like this whole idea of Jigsaw John, this villain, forcing these kids to find their way out of the house alive by solving all these games and puzzles. It’s all pretty fucking stupid in my opinion. Saw, overrated, boring and ridiculous. I don’t see how people can get into it.
