    @newkill3000 dont get your hopes up. The directors already said its up to the fans what they think happened to gordon and that they arent going to dwell on in and just move forward.

    Bring it on! I love the series. and a big FY to those who hate the franchise, but still are reading the news about it!
    But you know Saw V was not all that great, if they continue to do them, please they need to be at a certain level of quality otherwise is not worth, just like the 10 extra Friday the 13th movies, or the 7 extra Halloween movies

    If you break it down, the story for saw have more depth than Halloween and 13th, it has a human side to it, something no other horror franchise has...horror is the word I use loosly here.

    The last thing we need is for them to make another one and believe the thought that this is an actual worthwhile franchise which will lead to them remaking it all over again in about 5 years!

    Oh ffs lol just stop already, i like SAW series just as much as anyone else but theyve got to start thinking better stuff. it's as if a generation of wannabe's somehow got in the industry and infected everyone else and made them make stupid ridiulous crap! everything is a sequel or a f*cking remake these days, i'll still see this regardless cause i like the saw series but i just f*cking hope they finish it off already.
