I think it is hilarious that while at Comic Con Saw IV director Darren Bousman told the audience that Saw IV was awarded an NC-17 for how intense the film is, not necessarily the gore. Then, today we get the official rating as an R.
Why do I think this is hilarious? Well, because it comes out the very same day that Ang Lee’s new thriller Lust, Caution gets its official rating of NC-17 and Focus is going to keep it. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a gorefest like Saw to keep its NC-17 rather than a foreign language thriller? Maybe it’s just me, but it is nice to see at least one film with balls to release their original vision.
