A savage and gruesome thriller

Rating: 4/10 (25 October 2007)

SAW II (2005)
In its simplest terms, SAW II is entertaining, it flows and it has got some storyline.
Unlike other films like 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'Hostel' (2 horrendously bad horror films), SAW II is violent and gory but also achieves a major goal: it is entertaining and at times thrilling.
A collection of brutal traps are set to test a new set of people in a gruelling and perverse manner.
Considering SAW II is meant to be a horror film in the 21st Century, I think it has done quite well. Okay it is violent and gory, but it uses that to make the film sickly entertaining.
Not a great, cinematic achievement, but an achievement for what its meant to be.
4/10
