10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

5. Saw: Legacy

Release Date: 27 October (US)

Hot on the heels on The Bourne Legacy and 24: Legacy comes Saw: Legacy, another attempt to keep an ailing franchise alive with an infusion of fresh faces. There’s also a new creative team, although directors Michael & Peter Spierig (Daybreakers, Predestination) have a better track record than writers Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger (Sorority Row, Piranha 3D).

One of the few returning series regulars is composer Charlie Clouser (because what’s a Saw movie without him?) who when production commenced in October 2016 promised The Hollywood Reporter “a more stark, stripped down approach that will be more in line with the strong vision that the Spierig brothers are bringing to the table.”

Also returning for more flashbacks is Jigsaw himself, John Kramer (Tobin Bell), whose methods may have spawned a copycat killer. All will be revealed at Halloween, though don’t expect the movie to be screened for critics – none of the other sequels were.
