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.

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.

Torture, you may recall, used to be an unparsable, unpardonable sin. Now it's porn.

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.

At least in previous entries, we could follow the conflict. Here, we’re lost in a garbled display of over-editing and flashy direction.

I found this to be my 2nd favorite of the franchise and it’s amazing, the beginning autopsy scene is my favorite saw scene ever, it is so well made and shot, great action gore and twists along with the rest of the movies

É aqui que a coisa desanda de vez. As paletas de cores, as transições de cena bizarras, Strahm gritando o tempo todo sem realmente resolver nada? Mesmo assim, vale a pena assistir, principalmente porque eles não deixam um certo personagem ter um minuto de paz.

The autopsy is horrible and basically only serves to be gory. The way the series is overcut and has such wild camerawork is starting to become annoying. I don’t like the new cast members and the story is uninspired at best. The detective stuff is dull. We didn’t need the origin story stuff but I guess it means we get more of John Kramer so okay. The traps are fun but not as memorable as the previous films. Pretty disappointing overall offering nothing new.

It had solid traps but I didn't find the storyline very compelling. Wasn't a fan of the frenetic editing. Other films had it but this was just overkill. It also jumps around a lot without smooth continuity and wasn't the easiest to follow. I'm not saying it wasn't necessary, but it's not very rewatchable or memorable in my opinion. It just gets too convoluted to me at this point, and you can tell this is where the original writers dropped off.
