James Wan’s Plan to Make ‘Saw ‘ Scary Again Could Be Everything Fans Have Waited 22 Years For

The original Saw film, created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, was a fresh take on the serial killer and psychological horror genres. It challenged traditional horror storytelling and introduced a villain, John Kramer, who was menacing but not simply a one-dimensional criminal. However, later sequels complicated Kramer’s initial plan, and the franchise lost the qualities that made it so successful.

Now, with Wan returning to direct after Jason Blum took over the series, he’s sharing his plans to revitalize it – and that’s great news for horror fans.
