After the third, with everything coming out, it should have stayed like that. Ah, what can you do, ey? :D That's the thing with sequels, trilogies, and quadrilogies, etc, though, creative juice goes, ideas run dry, and the story lines are always rusty, so un-original and damn right a bore for a large percent of the audience. Look at Saw, after the first, the rest went right down to the gutter. I just about gave a good nod for the second, and it was ideas running out by then, but they still slapped up a lot of tripe. That's just my thought though on it all. :)

It will never change. Remakes of movies usually are rubbish, a lot of sequels to films are like it too. There is only a small margain that are good.

Well Wes Craven didnt write it did he? Didnt Kevin Williamson write it? Not all the blame can fall on him.

As for Saw, i think they get a bad rep. The first one is absolutely amazing but the other's arent really that bad. Sure after awhile parts of it just become "How can we kill people in cool new ways?" but i like how they all connect and tell a grand story. They don't all have to be as good as the first one. Sure they were made to make money but i didnt hate any of them and the way i think about it, every long running horror franchise has some sequels that aren't that good. Maybe the same thing can be said about Scream 4 as well but it just seemed so goofy to me.
