What Parents Need to Know
About Saw IV
Parents need to know that this fourth bloody Saw movie isn't remotely meant for kids (even though horror-loving teens will probably be interested), and it's hardly worth the time of the series' fans, either. The gory, torture-centric formula is familiar: Villain Jigsaw arranges elaborate "games" by which victims either survive by killing someone else or abusing themselves to near-death, or they die. Frequent over-the-top violence includes stabbing, shooting, hanging, fighting, slicing, and more. A pregnant woman suffers a bloody miscarriage. There's some nonsexual male nudity, a shot or two of cleavage, and reference to prostitution. Also expect the usual bad language, including lots of uses of "f--k."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of "torture porn." Why does this cynical subgenre of horror movies continue to succeed with viewers? Do you think it will ever go too far (and who defines what "too far" is, anyway?)? How is the Saw franchise itself now a kind of "game"? Is it different from the games perpetrated by Jigsaw? And does he become a more sympathetic character when you learn his backstory? Why or why not?

WORST MOVIE EVER
if u seen this saw, u seen them all because they are the same thing. it was so gory, disusting, scary, torure, and ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. my dad watched it and it was ...read moreso bad that even in the other room i was scared. u hear scary voices and screams and people getting beat up, raped, diced, and cut or anything torture. this movie is not for anyone if u like to see people beong cut up and see blood everywhere and its not worth the money. people curse too much too. what a waste of brain cells, time, and money.

gross, gross, gross
I'll start with this: James Wan, come back! This movie is disgusting. Even I, the girl who could watch gorefest "Thirteen Ghosts" without feeling sick, could barely sit through this (Spoiler: nobody wants to see a chick get a scalp pulled off or watch a guy hang by his neck from a chain-link noose. Ick.). While the traps are as ingenius and well thought-out (to a point) as ever, they are unnecessarily gory. The best thing that can be said about this movie is that questions in reference to serial killer Jigsaw will finally be answered.

Close to NC-17
penis shots show there was distance but closer and NC-17 you are. He more mild language terms are the A--hole word , the B word,. the Strong language which is unacceptitle parents NEED to know: is the F word, the S word and c--k Violence is included
