Good Horror Flick

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2005)

If you were expecting a sequel that was just as good as the original than you will not be disappointed. A cop struggling with his relationship with his son is dragged into a truly horrifying situation by the infamous Jigsaw. The lives of several people are at stake including the life of his son that he had taken for granted. He must play Jigsaws game in order to save them all, meanwhile, the helpless captives have macabre situations of their own to survive. When it comes to genuine psychological terror, Saw II some what pulls off what it was meant to. There are some weak moments but for the most part it works. The gore is fantastic for those of you who are into that kind of horror. It has enough of a plot to not be silly. The climax of the story was by far one of my favorite aspects of this film. It will surprise you. My review for this one is 7 out of 10 and ***1/2 out of ****.
