This Halloween, Lionsgate will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the theatrical release of

Saw, the film that kicked off the most successful horror franchise in history, by bringing it back to theaters nationwide for one week only. The film will open on Friday, October 31st, with select screenings beginning Thursday night, October 30th. The seven Saw films grossed $874 million at the box office worldwide and were hailed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Successful Horror Franchise" of all time.

Said Lionsgate President of Acquisitions & Co-Productions Jason Constantine:

"The launch of Saw was a signature event in Lionsgate\'s history, establishing our first franchise and paving the way for our growth into a global studio. We are excited for our fans to revisit the twisted magic that first blew their minds on Halloween 2004."

Added Saw\'s producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg.

"As part of Saw\'s 10th anniversary, we\'re thrilled to give new fans and audiences the opportunity to experience this film on the big screen for the very first time."

Saw was the first collaboration for co-creators James Wan, who directed the film, and Leigh Whannell, who wrote the screenplay. Together, they also created the successful Insidious franchise, and Wan has gone on to direct such high-profile films as The Conjuring and the upcoming Fast & Furious 7.

Directed by James Wan from a script penned by Leigh Whannell, Saw is a psychological thriller focusing on two men who wake up in a secure lair of a serial killer, with a dead body lying between them. The killer, nicknamed "Jigsaw," leaves them tape recorded messages with details of how to make it out alive. The only way for one man to make it out alive is to do the unthinkable. The two men desperately try to find a way out, while also trying to figure out who\'s behind their kidnapping. The film, which was released over Halloween weekend on October 29, 2004, was produced by Gregg Hoffman, Oren Koules, and Mark Burg.

Saw was released October 29th, 2004 and stars Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Ken Leung, Dina Meyer, Mike Butters, Paul Gutrecht, Michael Emerson. The film is directed by James Wan.

@thedude1 the blood yes was really pink kinda like Tim Burton\'s films and they should of stayed away from 3D as well

@darkdream He never made that film though. He was going to leave, Lionsgate exercised his contract for the 7th film, and he did the work. My only complaint on the film was the blood. It looked pink the entire movie.

@thedude1 actually he did a sh*t job with that film since he was too wrapped up making paranormal activity 4 which I can\'t believe they made it that far cause those films are f*cking awful

Yes never got the chance to see it when it was originally in theaters can wait to watch this one in the theater!!!!!

Phew, for a moment I thought they were gonna make another one. This is a relief. The franchise pretty much got worse with each movie (though VI was better than V and probably also IV). The first one is actually a quite good flick

I stopped at one, I enjoy horror films but this beats the cake.

@darkdream It was the 7th in a franchise that was suppose to end. He did a fine job for what he was suppose to do.

If they do make another saw film do not get Kevin greuturt to direct since he f*cked up saw 7

@jonspidey07 Same here about not watching the first film in theaters! I actually went to see Seed of Chucky instead, lol.
