Saw IV gets NC-17

I know a lot of you schmoes are over the SAW series, but I’m still so totally there. Still, I don’t really know how to take the news that the impending bloodfest, SAW IV has been given a NC-17 rating by the MPAA. Still, as is speculated the creative team behind the movie may still go back and make the cuts required to earn their hard R-rating.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film for those of you who don’t know (SPOILERS FOR SAW 3 ensue):

Upon the news of Detective Kerry’s murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw’s latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle. However, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.

I don’t know, I’m really looking forward to this flick. The reason I’ve liked the previous ones has been that the endings have been real mind-blowers. Fortunately, producer Mark Burg had the following to say:

“I think it;’s the best ending of any SAW movie we’ve done yet,”

Rock on!
