I'm usually not a big fan of sequels, but...

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2006)

After seeing the original "Saw," I couldn't wait for a sequel (It was quite obvious by the ending of the first one that there would be a sequel). In "Saw II," before it was revealed, I had already figured out that Amanda was in on the whole thing, but I was thrown for a loop when Amanda and Daniel went through the trap door in the house and ended up in the bathroom featured in the original. Excellent twist to an already twisted movie. The special effects in the movie were nice a gory and realistic looking. Once I bought the DVD and watched all of the behind the scenes and special effects stuff, I was really impressed with the creativity of the special effects crew and how excellent of a job was done. I was involved in theatre all through high school, and some of the special effects stuff that was used in this film even surprised me. I wouldn't say that this one beat the original, but it came very close.
