During the autopsy of serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), a cassette tape is discovered in his stomach in which he warns that his gory games will continue. Sure enough, SWAT Lt. Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is forced to follow a blood-drenched trail of torture, dismemberment and death in order to find two missing colleagues.

Critics Consensus

Saw IV is more disturbing than compelling, with material already seen in the prior installments.

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.

This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear.

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

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

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

Just because Jigsaw is dead doesnt mean the game ends as we get a reveal of Jigsaw secret apprentice that actually fits into the story. A worthy watch for sure.

One of the reasons I love this movie series is that they are all connected into one and no movie is like that. I will never really understand why the detective decided to join the dark SPOILER ALERT...John once again out smarted everyone lol
