James Wan says he wants to take Saw back to its "psychologically scarring" roots, by moving away from gore in Saw 11

Saw X.

Now that the Saw franchise is back in the hands of original co-creator James Wan, the horror master has plans to take it back to its heyday.

"For me to finally come back to it, I feel I have probably the freshest outlook. I feel I can come back to it with a new perspective, whilst knowing that with this next movie I want to hark back to the spirit of the first movie," said Wan in an interview with Letterboxd. "One of the things I really want to do with this next Saw is make it scary again. I want to make a scary Saw—not just gory, but psychologically scarring, like what Leigh and I did in the first movie."
