Saw VI: Unlike its villain Jigsaw, the Saw franchise might never die, as the long-dead killer's cohorts continue his reign of violence, punishing those who don't fully appreciate their lives -- as well as those who are just plain jerks.

The Vampire's Assistant (Cirque du Freak): Perhaps a new "tween" franchise in the making, The Vampire's Assistant is an adaptation of the popular Darren Shan book Cirque du Freak, about a boy who's turned into a vampire and taken in by a traveling freak show -- with the freakiest of freaks.
