Planning sequels ahead of time always gets me nervous, especially projects like this that could go either way. I think "Saw" was fine for awhile, but that series is a perfect example of something setting itself up with a high standard and having to stretch itself to follow through. I mean, after the second film was released Lionsgate announced they were signing into a six picture deal. I mean, damn, SIX movies. Part 4 proved that they're having to drag themselves through their commitment since a good portion of what occurred in it was unnecessary jargon. However, I could be wrong about the next two films and the series could redeem itself and launch right back on top. I don't know, sequels planned before the success of its predecessor is even determined always sounds "iffy" to me, especially for the horror genre.
