Fine sequel.

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2005)

I'll simply say that if you enjoyed the first one, then Saw II will not disappoint you. After reading many reviews and comments on this and other sites, the majority of which were condemning of this film, I'd advise one to just go out and see it, ignoring the bandwagon mentality that this film unjustly faces. Horror that has been processed down to a PG-13 and made for the sake of a test audience is not something I even remotely entertain. As a matter of opinion, I have no problem with sequels if they can be a continuance of a good cinematic idea. In that regard, Saw II is right up my alley. The shots are composed for maximum tension, the lighting is on par with the first-an effective tool used to shade your mood as a viewer. I could give spoilers, but that is something I can not stand about many of today's reviews. Bottom line- if you are a fan of independent horror, if you enjoyed the first Saw, the works of Bava, Cube, or Haute Tension you will do well with this.
