‘Saw XI’ is a reality, will release in theaters next year

The macabre game that never ends. The sharp knives that cut through the flesh, the deadly traps that lurk in the darkness and the killer that crouches in search of his next victim. No, the ‘Saw’ saga has not yet moved its last piece on the board, as Lionsgate has announced on Instagram. Through a post on said site, the production company has confirmed that ‘Saw XI’ is the next main film in the series. What’s more, they even revealed when it will be released in theaters: September 27, 2024.

“The game continues,” says the poster, which reveals the release date in Roman numerals. Beyond that, they haven’t provided any details about the characters or plot, so we will have to wait to find out the first information about this new installment of the horror saga. The arrival of this new sequel will take place practically a year after the previous chapter, although in previous statements they already made it clear that ‘Saw X’ would not be the end.

‘Saw X’, a film that got the franchise’s groove back

In the review of ‘Saw X’ on MeriStation we emphasize that it was not a particularly innovative film, but that it uses tricky narrative tricks to justify its existence. “It gives us what we expected, no more and no less. Focusing their shot on Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw”, while managing to maintain its seedy and bloody tone. “Sometimes it is not necessary to transcend or take the seventh art to a new level,” we reflected in our criticism. All it takes is “a little ingenuity, a few viscera and a doll on a tricycle.” The conclusion? “As long as they are like this, as if they make another ten.” Now we know that there will be at least one more.

In addition to ‘Saw XI’, Lionsgate prepares for the return of ‘John Wick’. The studio has revealed that they had started working on the fifth film before the Hollywood strikes, but that they are back at it again now that the labor dispute has been closed following the agreements reached.
