Career

Greutert was the film editor for The Strangers (2008), Room 6 (2006), and Journey to the End of the Night (2006).[2] He was also the editor of the Saw series for the first five films, as well as the eighth, Jigsaw.[3] He made his feature directorial debut with Saw VI, which was released on October 23, 2009.[4]

Greutert wrote the original story for and was signed on to direct Paranormal Activity 2, but he was forced off the project and onto Saw 3D after Twisted Pictures (production company behind the Saw films) exercised a "contractual clause" in his contract.[5] Tod Williams replaced him as director for Paranormal Activity 2.[6] Saw 3D was released on October 29, 2010.[7]

Greutert has also published fiction in such magazines as Ambit and Magic Realism, and performed music on several film scores, including the Paul Bowles documentary "Things Gone and Things Still Here".[3]

He also directed the horror film Jessabelle for producer Jason Blum and Lionsgate, which was released on November 7, 2014.[8]

Greutert also directed the 2015 horror film Visions, starring Isla Fisher, Anson Mount, Gilliam Jacobs, Jim Parsons, and Eva Longoria, also for producer Jason Blum.

Greutert later directed a thriller entitled Jackals, starring Stephen Dorff, Johnathon Schaech, and Deborah Kara Unger, which was released in 2017. He also returned to the Saw franchise by editing the 2017 entry Jigsaw.

Due to a scheduling conflict, Greutert was originally slated to not return to the Saw franchise with Spiral in 2021.[9] This would have been the first time he's not had any involvement in a Saw film since the franchise began in 2004. However, he was brought on late in production to help with editing the final product, and was given an executive producer credit for the installment. ^{[citation needed]}

In August 2022, Bloody Disgusting reported that Greutert would return in a directing capacity to the Saw franchise as the director of its tenth film, set for a release on October 27, 2023.[10]
