15 Upcoming Movies That Might Be Surprisingly Awesome
6. Saw: Legacy
Release Date: Oct 27, 2017
Why It Should Suck: It's the eighth movie in a horror movie franchise: how good could it possibly be, especially considering that Saw 3D was touted as the final entry into the series? It's also being co-written by one of the guys behind Good Luck Chuck, which is pretty much tantamount to a crime against humanity.
Why It Might Be Awesome: If Legacy acts as a soft reboot for the series, then it could make good use of the pre-existing iconography while telling a brand new story with original characters. The real ace in the movie's hole is that it's being directed by The Spierig Brothers, whose two previous movies, Daybreakers and Predestination, scored solid acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
Considering that Saw is one of the more reliably entertaining horror franchises of recent years, critics be damned, it's got a solid shot at giving the series a much-needed reinvigoration.
