Amazon.co.uk Review

Given the haste in which this sequel followed the original, hopes may not have been particularly high for Saw 2. Yet the film itself proves to be a welcome surprise. For while it has moments where it needlessly attempts to out-gore the original, and while it’s not as clever, there’s plenty here to lift it above the status of lazy cash-in.

The premise, once again, contrives to put a series of apparent strangers into one location, surrounded by various traps and clues to get out. That location, a dilapidated house in this instance, is locked up, and slowly filling with nerve gas. In short, thanks to the work of deadly serial killer Jigsaw, the collection of people inside have two hours to live. This time though, their plight is being watched remotely via a video link by police officers, specifically Detective Eric Matthews, who quickly discovers his son is one of those caught in Jigsaw’s deadly trap.

With a tempered running time that allows little time for waste, where Saw 2 scores is in simply getting on with the job. It’s a slightly bumpier ride than first time round, but again, it’s hard not to get drawn into the fun.

One notable word of warning though: Saw liked its gore, and so does this sequel. No doubt the imminent third entry in the series will be fond of it too. Still, if you’re wary of the need for a strong stomach, there’s a lot to enjoy in this surprisingly strong second instalment.--Simon Brew

4.0 out of 5 stars Seen Saw? ...See Saw 2!, 2 April 2006
By DVD Fan (london, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This sequel came out very soon after the soon to be cult original? The first really delivered something new to the horror/thriller genre. With a lot of hype but well justified, very gory but a great film with good actors. I was worried Saw 2 would be no where near as good, but thankfully it is almost as good as the first!.......I prefer the original just ahead of this sequel, maybe due to the first being so good and original. This time you half know what to expect this time round. I suggest seeing the first before this as it does continue slightly.
A group of people wake up in a deserted house full of traps set up by the notorious Jigsaw, they must work together to find out what they have in common in order to make it out alive!
A good thriller which continues in the same manner as the first with some scary traps and neat twists. If you liked the first you'll enjoy this to! 8/10

4.0 out of 5 stars Similar to the first but still watchable., 14 May 2006
By Blue hunter (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The first film was a fantastic piece of work and i wasn't sure how a sequel would work out,i'd say the outcome was so-so.

Similer to the first film for it's disturbing scenes and great twists and turns along the way.This time around the evil
genius Jigsaw has come up with a game that has a time limit and the fate of several people trapped by him are hanging in the balance,this time the lead cop is played by Donnie Wahlberg who gives an excellent performance in this film.
An excellent sequel to one of the best psychological thrillers i've ever seen,and just to point out you probably best
not see this film if you haven't seen the first Saw film because certain things are tied together from the first one and
this.

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite saw, 3 April 2006
By Matthew (Warlingham, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The first film blew my mind, I had never seen anything as scary as Saw and was so happy with it I bought it as soon as I'd seen it. When the second came out, I was so excited to see it. On seeing Saw 2, the different way jigsaw was torturing his victims with more people in the room than before was a pleasent variation, but I thought the original, with only two in the room, worked better. Saw 2 isnt as scary as its predecessor, which was disspointing, but it makes up for this at the end with one of the best twists I have ever seen. Saw 2 is a very clever film, I thought it out did Saw in this respect, but I still thought the original was much better because of its scare factor and the way it was shot. You never saw any of the horrific things that happened to the victims, only the aftermath and the reactions of the other characters; the end reaction of Andy at the climax of the film, I thought was oscar winning. This way, the audience could imagine what was happening, which made the image so much more realistic than any film can do. This was lost in the second film, we never got the chance to imagine what was happening, so the effect dissapeared. In all, I enjoyed Saw 2 because of its variety and its brilliant ending, but it didnt touch the first.

A general rule about horror movie sequels is that the director makes the movie far bloodier, with more deaths, to keep the audience interested in a tired plot. Read more
