Great sequel!

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2019)

This is a great follow up to the first saw. This time we have 8 people stuck in a house, filling with nerve gas , they have to get to an antidote within 2 hours or succumb to the nerve gas.
I love the idea of a group of characters trapped instead of one person in a trap, it makes it more realistic to see all of these characters personalities and how they work together to find a solution to why they are there and how they're going to get out. And unlike many other horror movies, there's characters that you care about here, and they are not just there to be killed , they have back story and personalities.
The acting in this sequel is even better than the first, the entire cast, I can't complain about a single actor/ actress, Tobin belk is an amazing actor , he olays this role like he was born for it, so eerie yet quiet philosoohical character, I loved Emmanulle Vaugier's character Addison, Erik Knudsen's Daniel, and Beverly Mitchell was this sort of sweet child-like girl. Unfortunately our characters are killed as they move throughout the house, the traps here are great!! There's 2 that are the best in the film, the needle pit( a giant hole in the floor in one of the rooms filled with thousands of used syringes, yuck!!!) and the Razor box( a box hanging from the ceiling with arm holes that are lined with hidden blades preventing you from pulling them out and cuts deeper the more you try ouch!!. A long drawn out death, bleeding to death) the others are just as brutal and innovative.
Great twist!! Once again just like the first film the twist comes out of nowhere!! You will not guess it! Trust me.
The story is excellent and the films focus is not the brutality or the gore it focuses more on the story although the film is obviously bloodier than the first one.
In the end we are left with only 2 characters that survive, but won't spoil it here.
Check it out if you're a fan of the first one, if you're a newcomer watch the first one first
Enjoy
