You saw it too ? ;-)

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2006)

A good year ago my friend made me watch the first one on DVD and I was pinned to the bed during the whole movie, especially with the surprising end ! That only to mention that expectations were high...
The second one we had to see in the movie theatre. Why ? To be even more scared... To watch terrified friends sitting next to you, buried in there "protecting coats"... To really have the SAW Experience !
Did it disappoint ? No. The film started off with an EYE-catching opening scene, revealing that "no, I'm not a serial killer, they do it to themselves" evil plans master Jigsaw is still alive and kicking !
Thanks to a hint left in the video message of Jigsaw's first new victim, police are able to track him down. And surprise surprise... Cancer is floating all around, but his brains don't seem to be affected. Are Jigsaw's murdering days over ? Not yet, shockingly our cancer man was expecting the police and oh yeah, he's got something planned for them. To sum up : the life of several people, stuck in a mystery house, depends on the good behaviour of Officer Tough Guy, starting off a series of actions leading to a yet again shocking end.
Saw II was as scaring as the first one, at times disgustingly grosse, over the top, but that's how we like it. Ow yeah, very handy to have seen the first one, otherwise you miss a lot of hints.
