Useless!

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2006)

SAW from 2004 is one of the scariest films to come along in quite a while. It isn't surprising that since it was a small film and was such a hit, a sequel would be inevitable. Unfortunately Saw 2 is awful: this film is so bad I almost wish Saw 1 had never been made. The story follows the further exploits of Jigsaw, a terminal cancer patient turned serial killer. Jigsaw's existence and motives were part of the reason that Saw 1 was kind of hokey, but at least that film had characters I cared about and it was scary. There is absolutely no one in this film that I cared for, and this film is merely disgusting and cruel AND NOT SCARY IN ONE SCENE. There could have been scares later on, but I turned this film off at the 50 minute mark, taking cue from the late Redd Foxx. (If something offends you, and you sit through the whole thing...then, *#@! it, 'cause you a dummy!) BOO! again to Lion's Gate who already have a nasty mark from me for High Tension (another horror movie for morons!)
