the short list of sequels better than originals just got longer

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2005)

Saw II is a wonderfully wicked continuation of the saw story. This is a throwback film to the days when horror really meant something it hits you with a general feeling of unease and does an excellent job of creating empathy with the characters. The climax of the film builds on the story of this film as well as its predecessor as strongly if not stronger than any other sequel I've ever seen truly inventive and as close to anything original we have seen in ages.Without saying too much let me just say that this is one nasty queasy cringe inducing flick that accomplishes everything it sets out to do, it is right up there with my all time favorite horror flick THE Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE 1974 do yourself a favor and go see it with a crowd for maximium enjoyment.
