Hello Again.

Rating: 6/10 (30 April 2008)

Saw II is a decent enough sequel to the original movie with enough plot twists to keep non-gore fans guessing until the end. Horror fans, like me, can lap up the dark as hell direction, inventive death scenes and overall sadistic tone of this meandering sequel even if the whole thing seems pretty uninspired. Technicality wise, the Saw films are top-notch even if repetitive and scraping the barrel for justification of means. The editing is dizzying and the direction is pretty much hands on to keep the narrative rolling and the sadism coming. What makes it even more entertaining is that you wont give one about any of the characters and will be more interested to see how inventive their death scene will be!
