Life and career

Hackl was the production designer and second unit director for Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV; as well as for Repo! The Genetic Opera. He was in talks to direct Saw IV, but Darren Lynn Bousman returned as the director. Later it was reported that Hackl would direct both Saw V and Saw VII, but eventually he only directed Saw V, while Saw VII was directed by Kevin Greutert, the editor of all of the Saw films to date, who also directed Saw VI.[2] Despite negative critical reviews and mixed fan reviews, his direction in Saw V has been referred to by Digital Spy as "slick direction". Hackl directed Jeff Reher's speculative script Endangered and was set to direct the film adaption of the novel The Butcher Bride.[3]

Filmography
gollark: As in, you think the majority of them don't *ask* for it, or you think the majority don't need degree-related skills?
gollark: The entry-level desk job things will probably get increasingly automated away anyway.
gollark: I didn't say that that produces *good* outcomes for people involved.
gollark: Apparently the (or at least a) reason for this problem is that a degree works as a proxy for some minimum standard at stuff like being able to consistently do sometimes-boring things for 4 years, remember information and do things with it, and manage to go to class on time. So it's useful information regardless of whether the employer actually needs your specialized knowledge at all (in many cases, they apparently do not). And they're increasingly common, so *not* having one is an increasing red flag - you may have some sort of objection to the requirement for them, but that can't be distinguished from you just not being able to get one.
gollark: The solution, clearly, is to ban asking people if they have degrees when hiring, and force them to be tested on other things instead.
