Horror fans rejoice, as one of the most popular movie franchises of all time has confirmed a released date for a TENTH movie.

Since the original horror hit the big screen in 2004, Saw built a massive following due to its combination of psychological horror meets all out gore, and remains one of the most popular modern horror franchises to date.

Directed by James Wan (Insidious) and Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man), the series has branched out into nine feature films, including the 2021 Spiral, starring comedien Chris Rock.

And while some much loved horror hits can go on a little too long, fans should be excited by Lionsgate’s confirmation that Kevin Greutert will be returning in the director’s chair.

"We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love. And part of that is giving the reins to Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, which is still one of the fans’ favorites in the entire series” said franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules.

While a title is yet to be confirmed, the 10th film in the Saw series appears to have been given the unofficial title of ‘Saw X’ by Production Weekly.
