I vehemently disagree with putting Saw on there. All 7 Saw films are solid, they made good box office, and together they tell a coherent, defined story. And we have not gotten a Saw film in several years and despite the claims in the article, there is no serious discussion about any new entries nor a reboot. Final Destination I will disagree with because when they say that it's "become all about the bloodletting," I think they have missed the point. The Final Destination films exist soley as a series of setpieces, and attributing anything more to even the first one is being generous. It's a splatter horror film stripped down to its most base generic elements; "plug and play" is not just the order of the day, it's the entire reason for existance. It's like watching film theory with gore squibs. Ice Age, hey, you can't argue with success... what is it about prehistoric animated series having lots of entries? I'm looking at you, Land Before Time.
