'Saw VI' Director Having a 'Mind-Numbingly Complex' Experience

After five Saw films, are you one of the people who still can't get enough of Jigsaw (and his pawns?) If so, Saw VI director Kevin Greutert updates his official blog with a pretty lengthy update about his post-production experience. In short, "it’s mind-numbingly complex." You can read all about it inside and check out Saw VI in theaters everywhere October 23rd.

"I made Andrew take today off. He looks fine, but he can’t be; the guy has been continually focused on editing this movie for months now, and it’s mind-numbingly complex, and it’s not easy being face to face all day and night with people as unhappy as the folks who live in Jigsaw’s World. Andrew has focused on the last ten minutes of the film for over a week now, and to put it subtly, it’s noisy. Strangers from other companies along the hallway have been coming up to me and asking, “What the hell is going on in there?” By the end of the night my mind is screaming, and I’m sure Andrew’s is as well.

Yesterday we passed a major turning point, and that’s the real reason we’re taking the day off. My confidence went through the roof when we sat and watched our latest work last night, and I couldn’t sleep for a new reason: I can’t wait for people to see the movie. I think it stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of the SAWs, and while I’m the least objective person imaginable when it comes to this, I think we’ve all done something really special.

The next step is showing it to the producers. This is a process that strikes terror in the heart of many directors, and I’m no exception. But if I’m correct, they’re going to be very pleased indeed…

Unlike many other “SAW” fans out there I have not yet grown tired of this series. I imagine I’m going to stay loyal to this franchise until the Halloween comes where there isn’t one. I think part six is going to be solid and as nerdy as it may sound I’m already counting down the days until it’s released. I can’t wait to see how the story is resolved. Who knows maybe Jigsaw’s garbage man will be the next apprentice.

I can't get enough of Saw - I just love the series . Can't wait for part 6 then after that part 7 & possibly the last one part 8 in 2011 .

I appreciate the hard work. This makes me even more excited to see the next one!

I loved the first 3 movies in the series. Liked 4 and 5. This sixth installment sounds like it will be a classic. Looking forward to it, somewhat cautiously...

It's "Mind-Numbing" because the movie sucks so badly and he cannot take looking at it for another second.

Saw died after 3 im sorry, 4 sucked, 5 i didnt even watch, and Im definitely not looking forward to this one

SnuFFy, i agree w/ you. the franchise died at part 3. part 5 was AMAZINGLY "MIND NUMBINGLY" AWFUL. but i DO want to see part 6 since SHAWNEE is returning to some degree AND i want to see VH1's "SCREAM QUEENS" winner Tenedra's performance. so, i'm in.

Pascow89 I agree COMPLETELY with you. SAW has become a big part of October for me and as I frequently read the forums at HOJ(House of Jigsaw) I truly believe that Kevin Greutert is legit. He has stayed with the franchise longer than James Wan, Darren Lynn Bousman, or David Hackl. DJblack I'm glad you're keeping an open mind to this one and we both know Shawnee will be great. As for the future of the franchise I will be loyal to the end whenever that may be.

after the final saw which is what 8 or 9? in about a year or 2 after its all done they will announce the first saw remake of the first movie. LMFAO!

hor666 - It wouldn't surprise me one bit. I'm sure somewhere, some 18 year old film school student is already casting people in his head and re-writing the franchise. Just remember, most people aren't that smart... which is why familiarity trumps ingenuity almost all the time in North American cinema. People seem to want slight variations on what they already know and have been exposed to. Not something genuine and original and truly terrifying. I'm just going to watch foreign films for the next 20 years or so until they start remaking their own stuff. Maybe by then Hollywood will have an original idea or remake something I haven't seen 100 times before.

Haven't seen Saw 5 yet, guess I should before this comes out.. Though I'm not particularly fond of the series as a whole, I do find it pretty fun.

I have to admit, I like that I walk out of each Saw sequel wondering what the fuck I've just seen. Then 3 months later the DVD clarifies it a little, and 9 months later the next installment cleans up the previous one but confuses me all anew. Whichever number ends the series should be as simple as connect the dots so retards like me won't be left hanging forever. All that being said, I really like the Saw series.

Well, there's been a lot of negative comments on this article, so to help even the score a bit, I'd like to say that I've loved 'em all and am really looking forward to 6!

You should stay with the franchise as long as you enjoy it I suppose. But its stupid to say you know you'll enjoy it forever. You can't say. Stick with it as long as you enjoy it. Their biggest hurtle is the screenplays, which have become pointlessly redundant, part 4 being basically an homage of part 1 and part 5 being largely a flashback that negates part 1. I won't say I hate the franchise at this point but they've placed all of the emphasis when talking about the 'making of' on the gore, which relegates the film to what naysayers have been calling it all along, torture porn. When they start promising a good story or even a thrilling movie I might rush to the box office, but only bragging about how much more blood you've shoehorned into the franchise does nothing for me.

This franchise needs to be put to bed....badly. Hopefully this sequel finally runs the series into the ground and becomes DTV, it's only a matter of time with these shitty, rushed sequels.

I actually think after part 8 or 9 what they will do is re-boot it cause that's what they like to do theese days is re-boot franchises .lol. .

I hope for the best. I thought that 5 was better than the seriously lagging Third and Fourth installments which completely negated Jigsaw's goal. To get people to value their lives. In those segments the people had little to none chance of surviving because it was all in the hands of another person. Six better go back to its roots like 5 tried. (But pretty much failed)

I hope this movie is nothing but a two hour montage of Paris Hilton getting killed over and over again.

Agreed, It will be a heartbroken holloween when we don't see tv spots around that time of year. This is one of the best horror series that doesn't get old.

Here's something mny best friend and I did together in a hour or two. I think it reflects the SAW movies nicely and is dedicated to SAW VI hope you enjoy it. We enjoyed SAW since the beginning. By Robin Byrd and Will Zettler 7/22/09 dlstorminc AT yahoo.com Who Am I? This is a story of a person of fame his speciality is of torture and pain This huble man has cancer of the brain this is not what drove him insane He watched as they killed his child which is what got him going wild To think of ways to make you wonder Life or death is what you must ponder The uglyiness put forth in your life This will cause you sorrow and strife Can you survive my tests? Or will you end up like the rest Broken bodies and broken minds Keep on running, but you I will find Can you save them, the ones that sinned The ones that are trapped, chained and pinned It always opens with "I want to play a game" Now can you guess my name? On the means, your the source Live or die, make your choice Game Over
