Laugh Riot of the Year!

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2005)

I thought the first film was just a big sick joke, an over the top gory horror-comedy, but it has nothing on this sequel. It's a better film than the first, but it's also probably the funniest film I've seen all year.
This is the kind of horror movie you have to go into with a sick sense of humor to really, truly enjoy. I have a sick sense of humor, and my friend joining me has a twisted sense of humor. I don't get why people would be so offended that people would find this kind of movie to be funny. It's so entirely over-the-top, from the acting to the over-stylized directing, to the saw-it-from-a-mile-away twist ending. You can't help but enjoy "Saw II" as a bloody, campy good time. And I don't write this because I think it's a bad movie. I just think I'm in on the joke the rest of you seem to missing out on.
From the opening scene (EYE won't give it away) to the final revelation, "Saw II" is hilarious, gory fun.
