Leave your thoughts about Saw II.
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...the premise of the second is hackneyed, its acting weak, its score thudding and its direction and production values low rent |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt lacks the sick imagination of the first film, the demented audacity of its twisted scenarios. |
| About.comRebecca MurrayDo you want to hear something really scary? Saw 2 is one of the best horror movies of 2005. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairIn spite of the film's few flaws, Saw II remains a worthy sequel - if only for Bell's wonderfully entertaining performance and the jaw-dropping finale. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfIn the long run, Saw II is a better film than the original, but that's like saying being kicked in the groin is better than being punched in the face. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergI've absolutely no problem recommending this sequel to those who adored the first entry, or anyone just looking for a cold blast of unfiltered horror nastiness. |
| New York PostKyle SmithJigsaw is a wickedly fun villain, if you can put aside the implausibility of a guy who likes to saunter away from his deathbed to kidnap younger, stronger people and devise medieval torture chambers. |
| Reel.comTimothy KnightThe film's one-note dialogue, insufferable characters and lack of scares make Saw II just a tedious exercise in explicit violence. |
| KWQC-TV (Iowa)Linda CookIf you saw the first "Saw," you'll want to see "Saw II," too. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsSaw II is pure schlock, which was clearly the intention: grimy grainy photography, flashbacks that strike like lightning bolts, plot holes galore and no jokes to speak of. |
