Are they serious?

Mnementh:
One was far too many.

I do love the fact that Saw IV is subtitled: "It's a trap."

Thy Dungeonman:
They make so many Saw movies because (from what I've heard) they're cheap to make and most people are idiots that pay money to see them.

TheFuriousWombat:
It's true. All the Saw movies are pretty low budget, using mostly no-name actors in very small, enclosed sets with no special effects other than the ones for gore, which aren't all that expensive to create. Movies like that are like money machines for the studios that make them and I'm not at all surprised they're making as many as possible. All I know is I'm not going to see them (I stopped watching after two).

thepugs:
Wikipedia also says "all the movies in the Saw series have managed to gross over $50 million, putting them in the top 5 all-time highest total gross for Lions Gate."

Essentially they can take whatever old mechanical crap they have lying around, throw in fake blood and the same recycled storyline, and put some cash money in their pockets.  What's their motivation not to do so?

I did actually enjoy the first Saw, but the subsequent movies have been pretty shit.

MusicScribbles:
This works because it's a teen-fed money machine. Grade school boys and girls old enough will see these movies until they stop making them. Fuck Hollywood.
