Not Frightful as the first, but still the same thrills.

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2005)

After scaring myself half to death with the original SAW, I almost cried when I heard that they were going to bring out a sequel which wasn't going to hold a candle to the original. When the film finally came out I decided to see for myself how terrible this was going to be. The acting was alright, not adrenaline rushing like the last one but pretty decent and the scenes that were supposed to make the audience scream with fright were just dead and cheap. I was waiting for that one scene that was going to make me scream and throw my popcorn up in the air like the last one, but no. There was no scene like that, just a bunch of scenes that were trying to be scary like a Sci-Fi Channel original movie. The film did as I predicted, it did leave me disappointed but I was impressed with the work they put into the script. It may not be a walk through the carnival spook house but it did have the twists and turns of that roller coaster that looks like it is touching the sky. I would only suggest this movie to people who saw the first SAW but only after the movie has been in theaters two weeks so they could use their free pass tickets.
