What to Expect

Saw 2 opens up with a guy wearing a "death mask" that's basically a portable Iron Maiden. The only way to unlock it and get out is to dig out the key that was surgically implanted behind his right eyeball. This was a big ask and the guy ended up hesitating for a bit too long and wound up with a couple dozen spikes through his head. Cops show up and one in particular, Detective Matthews, is called out directly by Jigsaw. He taunts Matthews to catch him, which he does the very next day. But trust me, this is no spoiler. Catching Jigsaw didn't take power or control away from him, it's just another game.

The movie follows a group of people, including Matthews' son, all trapped in the same room with a number of clues to help them escape. But they only have a couple of hours before they're all gassed.

Saw 2 is one of the better horror sequels out there. It's not only a seamless continuation of the first but is actually woven together with it, similarly to Halloween 2. I put Saw 2 up there with Psycho 2, Child's Play 2, Candyman 2 and Tremors 2. Like all of these, Saw just isn't complete without Saw 2.

Critic Reviews:

All in all, this is one film that has heart, brains and guts behind it… as well as spewing blood all over.

Upping the ante in almost every way, Saw II is a much more vicious and brutal encounter. Gone is the simplicity of the original movie and in its place is a full-on torture-porn horror where the pain suffered to victims has no meaning no matter how many recordings Jigsaw leaves to explain his torture devices.

This is a great sequel, and a great entry in the series. Check it out.
