'Saw VII' Will Venture into the 3-D Realm
Filed under: Horror, Lionsgate Films
By Brad McHargueAm I the only who thinks 3-D horror films are a waste of time and money?
While some films may lend themselves to the technology (such as Burst, which is about exploding humans), the effect is usually lost on me. In the end, it almost seems like a distraction to prevent the audience from realizing your story is formulaic and conventional. The effect is lost once the film hits DVD, and although Blu Ray technology can emulate 3-D quite well, the overall impact is diminished considerably.
Given the recent spate of horror films being filmed in 3-D, it comes as no surprise that the Saw franchise will venture into the third dimension with 2010's Saw VII. Shock reports that the seventh installment in the seemingly never-ending franchise will feature a longer production time and be more expensive ... due to the conversion to 3-D.

I enjoy the saw series and would be let down if they were to make the VII in 3D. I can't stand 3D movies since they are, as i agree, a waste of time. You really do loose the point of the story when it becomes a 3D film.
