If violence is going to be your calling card, you have to make a choice: big gore or horrific exploitation. You don't get to do both. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 07/23/2008

Torture, you may recall, used to be an unparsable, unpardonable sin. Now it's porn. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Jan 19
8/10
Undoubtedly one of the best and most effective sequels ever produced. It takes a well-developed and familiar formula, and innovates wildly. It plays unexpected technical and narrative tricks. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/06/2023

At least in previous entries, we could follow the conflict. Here, we’re lost in a garbled display of over-editing and flashy direction. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth 05/20/2021

Saw IV marks the point at which the franchise began feeling like every other major horror movie IP, straining itself to chug along until the box office dries up. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Matt M. @MattMcC 4d A step up from Saw 3 but still nowhere near comes close to the heights of the first two See more Muhammad A Nov 29 En general las películas de terror resultan desagradables, inapropiadas y son un tipo de contenido que debería ser prohibido y eliminado en las películas y bastantes series de televisión, y las de Saw resultan en exceso sangrientas, con escenas que deberían ser prohibidas en todo el mundo (por lo fuertes y desagradables que son), recomiendo nunca ver ni una cosa ni la otra, vean cosas buenas y agradables porque para entretenimiento hay videojuegos, competiciones, deportes, ánime, y caricaturas, de lo bueno hay mucho para elegir así que eviten basuras, nada de Saw, Chucky, etc. See more Craig H @DownWeGo Oct 17 The weakest of the 4 movies definitely, but still love this franchise despite how farfetched it gets and stretching the John Kramer story out, but they made good use of his return in flashbacks and the 2nd half of the film was great, the 1st half was abit slow. The twists at the ending where very good! See more John W Sep 29 The last 10 minutes and the twists at the end are really good. This gives you the feeling that you've just seen a really good movie, but it isn't. It was too boring and too little happened in the story. There weren't any big highlights in the traps either. Even several flashbacks couldn't help. So I think the movie is rather average and one of the worse in the franchise. But it's still a Saw film and in conjunction with the other films, this one also works well. See more Nexus Sep 4 THIS REVIEW CONTAIN SPOILERS This is probably the most underrated film in the series, after the death of John Kramer in Saw III, the series knows how to reinvent itself, giving us one of the best installments in the series, great characters, we are introduced to the best detective in the series, Peter Strahm, There are a large number of interesting traps, great prominence of Officer Rigg, and finally we are introduced to a new successor to John Kramer, the best in the series, Mark Hoffman and the final script twist is one of the best in the series. See more James B @James_B Jul 20 Saw IV was a very compelling and gory film that does not disappoint. See more Read all reviews
