The games get better.

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2005)

Jigsaw returns for another series of mind-blowing torture and relentless head games.
This time headed and co-written by Darren Lynn Bousman, as opposed to James Wan from the original who this time has turned to executive producer. Leigh Whannel also returns to script this instalment alongside Bousman.
Given the incredibly high standard that the original set, i think its safe to say that there wasn't many people who were expecting this to be as good as its hugely acclaimed predecessor despite the creators of the original on the production.
However...
Saw 2 is able to stand up to the original and then some. It goes much deeper than the before, its amazingly inventive and it answers the questions you may have had about the original.
It is a lot more graphic and has more intense deadly games that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I found so many things to cringe at in this film and i really could feel my heart pounding throughout the film.
Saw 2 is better than the original even though the ending didn't have the impact that the original did (at least in my opinion) its what happens throughout that makes it one of the best sequels in the history of cinema.
The script is ingenious and the overall result is so much more surprising than you could ever imagine. It will trap you in its twisted plot and send shivers down your spine. There will be shorter fingernails when you leave the cinema, more scared people and oh yes, there will be blood.
