If it’s Halloween… it must be SAW. Those words definitely ring true this Halloween Season. Unlike Halloween, Saw IV has allowed Jigsaw to rise from the dead and grace us with his delightfully deranged tests and traps during Halloween.

Well, it’s about time that we had a big weekend at the box office. Saw IV cleaned up this weekend with a big take of $32 million.

Ever since the first Saw cut into the American mainstream in 2004, it has been often imitated but rarely matched. The fourth installment of the series hits the theaters in time for Halloween, making a visit to the theater for more of Jigsaw’s antics a seasonal tradition for me.

Yes, it’s another week of torture porn in the movie theaters. We’ll see if the Saw franchise can do better than the Hostel or Hills Have Eyes franchises did earlier in the year. But just because some people like to watch torture and murder doesn’t mean everyone’s cool with it.

Welcome to what is shaping up to be a fairly grizzly weekend at THE REJECT REPORT. This week we have two new movies going wide across America — the return of SAW IV, and the return of Steve Carell in Dan in Real Life. And Owen Wilson comes back from the almost-dead.
