Jordan Crucchiola New York Magazine/Vulture 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. Oct 27, 2017 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review At least in previous entries, we could follow the conflict. Here, we’re lost in a garbled display of over-editing and flashy direction. Rated: 0.5/4 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth 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. Rated: 2.5/5 May 20, 2021 Full Review Matthew Rozsa matthewrozsa.com It was a bad movie overall, but it perfectly captured the zeitgeist of a terrible year through its awfulness. If the essence of 2007 is captured by any one film... it's "Saw IV. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

A worthy watch for sure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Hailee B One of the reasons I love this movie series is that they are all connected into one and no movie is like that.
