If you liked saw, you may like it but you're better of waiting for saw 3

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2006)

At first I wasn't that sure if I thought the film looked good or dreadful. My brother saw it and almost left halfway through, i didn't see it in the cinemas but i would have done the same thing. Though at first for different reasons. I did hear quite the opposite from other people i know and though i wasn't that sure I just went for it to basically make my own mind up.
My brother would have left halfway through cause it wasn't liking it while I was loosing interest. Which during the second half though there were some plot twists that i didn't see coming (which was the only thing that kept the rating above 1) wasn't enough yet there was something that i can't explain that kept me glued to it.
On some level I was expecting it to be like Saw and though it was gorier than both films put together it lacked a lot I did like about Saw.
While like saw it was a sick, twisted gore fest it there wasn't anything about the characters that where stuck in the middle of it that i found intriguing which as weired as it sounds was something i liked about both of the Saw movies. Plus the fact that some of my favourite directors (Tartantino/ P. Jackson) where backing it wasn't enough.
On a positive side the film was well made for a obviously low budget and wouldn't disappoint blood and guts fanatics. Would entertain the younger saw fans but this is a 100% teen movie and but some of the older fans may not like it.
At the end of the day if you liked Saw (depending on your age group) you may like it but then again you're better of waiting for Saw 3.
Awful but with some decent & unpredictable plot twists 2/10
