Now don't get me wrong, I thought Saw VI was an improvement over V, and I would've liked having Kevin Greutert directing 7, but I felt this was a pretty low move on Lionsgate's part.

It's like less than a week till shooting 7 begins, and they just shafted David Hackl completely (Who had already been involved in a lot of the pre-production). Also, Kevin was set to direct Paranormal activity 2 and now was taken off that film (Granted, I never saw the first PA but if Kevin directed 2, I'd might check it out.)

Even though 5 wasn't my absolute favorite Saw, I'd gladly give David another shot at directing, I mean, we can't expect perfection on your first time at directing, right?
