Review of Saw II (2005) by Mikeb — 28 Oct 2005
Despite what some people missed, this was easily the most gripping, nerve shredding, edge -of-seat horror/thriller to appear this year. Admittedly, after liking the first one so much I thought this was just going to be a cash in, but Leigh Wannell and his new co writer/director have managed to surpass the twists ans shocks of the first installment.
To those who argue it's not clever or shocking - a) did you guess how, where, and why? I er.... doubt it. And b)could you come up with a smarter twist. Yes, it's a little implausible, but not impossible, and there are many more sillier movies around.
If you like raw and fresh horror movies, this is for you, no doubt about it. At the end of the day, it's entertaining in the way it promises to be. Rather this than Open Water 2... there's a scary thought.
