A Killer Horror Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2005)

After a bloody aftermath in the original, Tobin Bell returns as the sick and twisted Jigsaw serial killer. This time, the number of unlucky victims is now four times as many. The Jigsaw wants to teach them the value of life. When the game begins and the traps are set, that's when they realize how badly they want to survive the horror.
The story revolves around with this cop, Eric Matthews, who is in pursuit of the killer alongside with Detective Kerry who reprises her role from the first one. With the hint given from the teaser scene, Eric catches a break and finds a lead to Jigsaw's whereabout. Everyone rushes to his hideout and there, they find the video feed of the booby trapped shelter. Eric Matthews gets filled with anger when he sees his son included in the game of hunt for survival. Meanwhile, the victims are locked in a room while slowly dying from a lethal nerve gas. The victims are able to walk around freely in the house unlike the players in the first one who were chained and almost had zero mobility. The unlucky ones must find the hidden antidotes before they weakens and die. Following the rules, solving clues and riddles is an essential factor to their survival.
Leigh Whannell returns as co-writer of the franchise. James Wan(director and co-writer of the original didn't get involve because he's working on a different project)This is definitely one of the best movies of 2005. An instant classic in its genre.I can't decide if this is better or worst than the original but of course, a must see film nonetheless. The acting here is much better than the original. The only one thing I didn't like much is the twist. They obviously didn't want it to end here but the twist, even though surprising, it was just an act of desperation for another sequel. But hey, I'm not complaining much. The movie was worth every penny. The booby traps were ingeniously thought-out. I didn't even bother to buy popcorn or any food while watching it because I knew it was gonna be a bloodbath. Oh yes, there's a lot of blood.
