‘Horror franchise with an 11th film planned for 2025’ clue difficulty rating
I’ve never seen a SAW movie, but this franchise is so iconic that I still know a bit about it. I’m also not a huge horror person and only occasionally enjoy these types of films.
Despite this, SAW is certainly one of the most well-known horror franchises, with many films and a longstanding presence in the horror genre. But as iconic as SAW is, this clue is a bit vague and can be tricky to solve if you didn’t already know another film in the franchise was being made.
I don’t think it’s super common knowledge that another film is slated for 2025, so I’m giving this clue a four out of five difficulty rating.
