True. But part of what works for Saw is the shock. How do you shock an audience who watches the walking dead every week, which is damn near saw level gore? I'm not saying it can't I'm just genuinely curious how it will play in the US specifically. That era of Saw/Hostel/Wolf Creek/High Tension, etc also had a country going to war and an economy headed down a bad path. Much like Hooper and Craven and Carpenter took advantage of the Vietnam undercurrent, guys like Wan and Roth did the same for Iraq and Afghanistan where we were seeing horrific shyt on tv or hearing about it or reading about it. Those movies were a release. I think the next wave of horror is going to reflect where we are now socially and politically and for me, that's still zombies (unfortunately)

Movies got to reinvent themselves. People in the late 80's thought slasher films were dead and buried and then along came Scream which turned the genre on it's head, and it became the highest grossing slasher movie of all time (The first 3 are the top 3 I believe).

So for GOATsaw 8 they just got to do something a little different, don't just copy the others ones but mix it up a little bit, add a few new things etc etc. Kinda like how Scream 4 used social media for it's main story, this one could use social media as a main story-line :yeshrug:
