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. A pair of FBI profilers follow Riggs, suspecting he might be Jigsaw's accomplice, even as they unlock the puzzle of the killer's origins, seen in gruesome flashbacks.

Thomas K

a more decent sequel to the previous film. The horror atmosphere didn't improve the situation much, but this time the acting atmosphere improved from my character point of view. The plot is bearable, but above all I really liked the ending, where Hoffman pretended to be a policeman from the beginning of the film with a character hidden in the shadows. The traps didn't excite me, but the fact remains that the new puzzler managed to get away with respecting his normal and police character, until he shows his true cruel character.

It's the best after The Saw lll new story, new characters and a very very gruesome gory bloody content, Saw IV is counting bodies to the right catalogue.

Saw IV isn't as good as the previous entries - but still provides an interesting storyline and good twists at the end.

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.
