With only a teaser trailer and a poster released for Saw VI, not much has been revealed about the latest sequel in the horror franchise, other than screenwriter Patrick Melton saying the movie will feel “resolved.”
It’s probably safe to assume that death traps are involved, as the first image of Saw VI reveals.
Saw VI opens October 23 and stars Costas Mandylor as Detective Hoffman, who has become the successor to Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) and sets a new game in motion as the FBI closes in on him. Shawnee Smith and Tanedra Howard co-star.

George A. Romero’s latest zombie opus has been shambling about without a title for months now. Today, however, it was announced that his “untitled undead film” is now Survival of the Dead.
The film will premiere at the prestigious 2009 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the celebrated “Midnight Madness” series, spotlighting the ten best new horror movies from around the world.
Survival of the Dead follows a war-weary band of soldiers who are lured to a remote island that promises to be the last paradise on earth, only to discover that even here there is no escape from the appetites of either the living or the dead.
Says Romero, “We’re in the final stages of post-production and it’s great to come up for air and find out the film’s been chosen to appear at the Festival. It’s just a terrific honor.”

George Romero’s new zombie effort, which so far has the ambiguous title …Of the Dead. It was originally going to be a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but now it appears to be at best tangentially related. Regardless of whether or not you like a particular Romero film, you can always count on him to try something new and to explore the humanity within the characters. The story is about an island off the coast of North America, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un-dead relatives back to their human state..We’ll see how it turns out when …Of the Dead opens later this year.
GoreMaster George Romero is the producer/director.
