    I’m kind of surprised at Saw X tbh. I’ve seen a lot more excitement for it in my online circles than any of the previous installments.

      I guess I’m finally in a place where advertising can’t get to me because I didn’t even know it was a thing until just now. It’s the kind of thing I’d go watch in theaters if I had time.

        I had no idea either but it’s crazy that they’re still going. They’re picking back up the main storyline? Who is even left to continue it?

          I don’t watch the saw movies but from what I understand this one takes place between the first and second ones.

            Ah so we’re just going to keep flashbacking to when

            Jigsaw was alive. They really wrote themselves into a corner by killing him so early.

              I don’t think they expected it to keep going like this. There are something like 7 original Nightmare on Elm Street movies and Freddy is a horror icon. There are 11 original Friday 13th movies and Jason wasn’t really a part of a couple of them.

              I think they just didn’t plan for him to still be going. If they keep doing this they’ll need to have him meet Freddy and get dream powers.
