Enough mistakes for two bad movies

Rating: 3/10 (9 March 2006)

After reading much praise on this website and having sort of liked the first part i went to see "Saw II" yesterday. And man, were those praises wrong. The idea that there are people out there who actually think that this is a good horror movie is more scary than anything in this ineptly made crap. The acting is bad enough but who really has outdone himself is the editor of this movie who puzzles together the wildly hand-shaken parts without any feeling for rhythm or atmosphere at all. It's really a pain to watch bad movies like this, because their makers do real annoying pseudo-hip stuff to hide the fact that they have no talent for this sort of thing ( making horror work). It's good to see that the "new wave" of horror movies is trying to keep a straight face like in the good old days but while watching "Saw II" you can learn why there were so many "comic" slashers and monsterflics through the 90ies. Because with a crew like this and a director like Bousman it's gonna be a pretty ridiculous time no matter how hard they try to make this trash work. In opposite to the first part, there is no love in this, just ignorance. Believe me.
