Jigsaw is back and this time he let the police catch him only to reveal that he has locked a large group of people in a house and that they only have 2 hours to find a way out before they'll inhale too much lethal nerve gas and die. The house is of course full of traps and the people in there has to try and work together to be able to make it out alive.
I guess Saw 2 has been a kinda anticipated sequel to last years hit Saw and for a sequel it's a pretty good one.
It doesn't beat the first movie but is still a very good follow-up. It's very similar to the first one as it deals with the same theme only that they made it a little different this time around.
I was afraid that Saw 2 would be a let-down and I'm happy to say that it was not. It's actually a lot gorier than Saw and some scenes will probably make you cringe.
There are a lot of detailed gore so people into that will definitely be pleased. The actual horror is there, one could say in your face, the whole time but never so it gets really scary, more towards sick and disgusting.
Saw 2 is fast paced and stuff happen all the time the whole movie throughout so don't expect any dull moments here.
The actors are good and they all do a fine job and I guess some are more likable than others. It of course has a twist to it but I liked the ending in the first movie a lot better, not saying that this one was bad though, but nothing that made you go wow.
If you've seen Saw and if you liked it, then you should definitely see this one too while waiting for the third movie to come out.
