    The writers had returned for Saw 4. I'm sure it took them a cool 2 weeks to write the script like the other three movies. Not that it's bad. I enjoyed all of these films.

    Same director as Saw III, but James Wan and Leigh Whannell are not on board this time.

    Oh you're right, new writers, my bad. But at least they're still exec producers according to Wiki and IMDB.

    I buy tickets, they're entertaining. All horror movies have a rediculous amount of sequels, this is nothing new. I mean, how many Friday the 13ths are there?

    Funny, but about 90 seconds longer than it needed to be.

    Saw cost 1.2 to make, made 18 million opening weekend, 55 in the US over 100 million when you add foreign sales. That's some serious return.

    Saw II cost 4 million, made 31 million opening weekend, 87 million in the US and 147 million total worldwide.

    Saw III cost 10 million, made 33 million opening weedend, 80 million domestic, 164 million total.

    I don't know what the marketing costs have been, but that's 15.2 million to make 3 movies that have brought in $414 million. I've never watched any of them, these torture p*rn movies like Saw and Hostel aren't my thing, but the Saw movies keep making good money.

    If people keep buying tickets, there is nothing to stop them from making more movies. Especially if they get that much return on them.

    when watching the trailer, it reminded me of Raid's Yao mix in which he told me he got the song from Saw :)
