Director Kevin Greutert Hints at a Fitting Conclusion for the ‘Saw’ Franchise in ‘Saw X’

In an interview with The Hollywood Handle, Greutert discussed the plans for how the ‘Saw’ franchise might come to a conclusion. Greutert said, “Well, I made this film (Saw X), you know, knowing that it might be the last, so there were some things, especially at the end of the film, that, to me, if this is the last one, is a send-off to the character in a really great and final way.”

Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps.
