Hot, Sticky and very Claustrophobic!!

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2006)

Without a shadow of a doubt the horror genre is my favourite, having said that the amount of "trashy, teens with fake tits, getting cut up whilst still pouting" horrors I have witnessed over the past 3 years or so, is vile!! Without trying to cause offence to any of the actors, they are not your stereotypical starlets, they seem to all have "interesting" looks as opposed to Paris Hilton lookalikes! This was different, having seem many a horror, i am used to plot turns and twists and can usually spot the killer a mile off.With Saw II you already know who he is. It opens up the film for many more twists. Donnie Wahlberg plays the caring father, recently divorced, who has to play along with the sick Jigsaw. He has to listen to him spill out his vicious story whilst his son is slowly dying from a gas leak in a very spooky house. With horrors I always put myself in the victims shoes, It made me feel uncomfortable to think "How would it feel to watch your child die as the killer sits opposite you?" The answer is Id probably faint, or chew his face off!! Overall Id give this film 8/10 it creates a chilling and extremely claustrophobic atmosphere only matched with the likes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.
