A new entry in the franchise is set for release this year
Despite their commercial success, the films in the franchise have all received mixed to negative reviews, with some critics slamming their excessive violence and branding them as"torture porn".
"Leigh and I didn’t just write a shocking movie for the sake of being an exploitation, schlocky movie," said the Australian director on the franchise's criticisms."There was a lot of thought and craft put into the screenplay, and so it felt like a derogatory term to describe it. "But now, in hindsight, I look back at that time period with a little bit more of a rose-tinted view. Saw was very much a reflection of the era in which it was made, post-9/11. We felt that the movie, in some strange way, was kind of relevant to that sociopolitical period of time."There was a lot of torture going on in the world. So, from a historical standpoint, I’m OK with it, but it also helps that Leigh and I have gone on to do many other things.
After his initial success with Saw, Wan went on to create The Conjuring franchise and co-create the Insidious franchise alongside Whannell. All three franchises are expecting a release this year, with Insidious: The Red Door, Saw X and The Nun 2.
