Anyone kind of wish it ended with this one?

It is clear that the writers planned for a 4th with the small scene where Jigsaw was putting the cassette tape in wax.

I'll admit I'm a fan of the Saw franchise, but yeah.it really should have ended at Part III. The ending didn't answer all the questions, but it still works as an end to the franchise. I've read that they have plans for Part 8, which is kind of ridiculous at this point. :I

Total agreement. I thought starting with Saw IV, it was overkill. After a satisfying "triology", they decide to bring in a new character, Hoffman, shoehorn him into the timeline of the earlier films, then throwing in even more out-of-the-woodwork characters in V,VI,VII,VIII, thereby turning the franchise into one big convoluted retcon!

Yeah, this should have been it. Very few franchises can maintain quality for more than 3 films, especially horror. But of course people kept paying to see them and Hollywood is all about the money. Everyone involved should feel shame when a franchise pumps out film after film when they get horrible feedback.

3 is still a step down from 1 and 2, but ending it there would have stopped the further decline of the series. And it would've stopped the writers from finding ways to bring Jigsaw back to life after killing him off for shock value.
They could have came back and made good Saw movies again had they
(A) Taken their time instead of rushing yearly releases
(B) Hire a good writer to write the story -

For me this was like the Nightmare on Elm Street or other horror icons. First one had the story, the rest was to see how people would get killed.

Yes, it should have ended here. Story wrapped up and anything after this just watered down a potent conclusion. I enjoy trilogies, but they are seldom left aloneall about $. For a franchise to form and a 'series' to get to #3 and beyond, it has turned a good profit, so usually after #3 any story integrity is secondary.
