Career
Greutert was the film editor for The Strangers (2008), Room 6 (2006), and Journey to the End of the Night (2006).[3] He was also the editor of the Saw series for the first five films.[4] He made his feature directorial debut with Saw VI, which was released on October 23, 2009.[5]

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".[4]

More recently he released the 2016 horror film Visions, starring Isla Fisher, Anson Mount, Gilliam Jacobs, Jim Parsons, and Eva Longoria, also for producer Jason Blum.
Greutert has also completed a new thriller entitled "Jackals", starring Stephen Dorff, Johnathon Schaech and Deborah Kara Unger, which will be released in 2017.
