10 Best & 10 Worst Horror Movies Coming In 2017
7. Saw: Legacy
Back when Saw 3D was released in 2010, Lionsgate Films assured horror fans it would be the final instalment in the increasingly nonsensical franchise. But guess what? They lied and despite the premise being stretched to breaking point, the eight film in the series is scheduled for a Halloween weekend release next year.
The plot is as yet unknown, but it’s probably safe to say several people will die at the hands of some ridiculously complex traps and though The Spierig Brothers are set to direct, the script comes courtesy of Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger – the same minds behind the screenplays of Sorority Row and Piranha 3D – which doesn’t bode too well.
Whether Saw: Legacy will finally be the straw that breaks the franchise’s back or we can expect future editions – Saw: Heirloom or Saw: The Next Generation perhaps – remains to be seen.
