Psychologically Thrilling Saw II

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2005)

If you liked the first Saw movie, then the sequel is right up your alley! I think it's safe to say that you can watch this movie and try to guess what happens next but never really get it right on the button. You all know the famous saying "A sequel always ruins a good movie." But this does not apply to Saw II.
The first movie was mediocre, but very well done even if there was a little bit of over or under acting on Adam and Doctor Gordan's part, but Saw II definitely blows the first movie right out of the water. Questions are answered and there's enough blood and gore in it to please and delight. This is not a movie for the faint of heart though; if you couldn't make it through Saw 1 without squirming or feeling a bit nauseous, Saw II may not be a movie for you.
This movie has more surprises than most expect, leaving theatres of people gasping or jumping in surprise and constantly on the edge of their seat. Yes, the Jigsaw killer has really outdone himself this time with a house full of booby traps where if you make a wrong move or get too eager to "escape", you pay the consequences with your life. The first five minutes though, I must say, are definitely something to sit back and enjoy. So if you want more blood, more pain and more edge of your seat action, Saw II is definitely worth the price of admission... more than once!
