hollow sequel

Rating: 3/10 (19 October 2006)

I first watched this film when it came onto D.V.D. it was 3.30 in the morning and i was waiting all day to watch it. I stuck it in the player and after about an hour I thought "Oh this film is rubbish!" the lighting is as dark and moody as ever this is the best thing because the story is more hollow than a eggshell.
There are a lot more characters this time However, Jigsaw turns up and so does his malevolent wooden doll. The film is NOT scary and it cannot compare to "SAW" because the film features more on the action than the shock and suspense of classics such as "HALLOWEEN" and "THE Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE" Erik Knudsen provides a decent portrayal as an innocent caught up in the brutality of Jigsaw's games. Donnie Wahlberg however, plays Detective Eric Matthews With a realism that is a reflection of the British Police (Well Meaning and willing to do anything to get their man or woman for that matter) Shawnee smith is great as the female protagonist because you know she isn't like the others due to the fact that she tries to protect Daniel Matthews (Eric Knudsen) One of the best things about this film is the creativity in the death traps. They are a lot more creative than the original however,the way the traps are laid out within the film give me an impression that the director wanted to create an action flick instead of a horror.
In conclusion, "SAW 2" is a sequel not to be taken seriously because if you are expecting a horror film you will be disappointed
