While the series has taken a beating over the past few years, it showed some promise with its last installment, but even that excitement was curtailed by the franchise showing its age. For whatever reason, the creative forces behind the Saw films have never upped the ante or expanded the world in any way. That might be something fans complain about as forced with other sequels, but heading back into the same dank squalor to hear the old familiar voice on the tape recorder is a little faulty and repetitive. Fortunately, the new teaser trailer for the seventh installment in the horror series shows some promise that the producers are thinking outside the box by putting someone in it.

That is, if you’ve kept up with the series well enough to even recognize the names involved.

Is it finally time to kill off Jigsaw? Three films after killing off Jigsaw?

Absolute shocker of the day, deals are in place and Saw VII is greenlit. In other shocking news, bears shit in the woods.
