Juno J Saw 2 is one of the best horror movies of all time. It takes a drastic departure from the first movie. Instead, going for this more fast paced and entertaining approach, sprinkled in with some excellent acting from Tobin Bell. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/24/25 Full Review William W Don’t listen to the haters. It’s second best in the saw franchise because the plot and twists are so damn good. A saw movie true fans shouldn’t miss! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/25 Full Review kish b ☆☆☆☆☆ Saw II is the moment the franchise took a hard left turn into gratuitous gore-fest territory and never looked back, abandoning every ounce of tension, intelligence, and storytelling craft that made the original work. Where the first film was a claustrophobic, twisty psychological thriller with one room and one brilliant idea, Saw II throws eight people into a house full of ridiculous death traps, gives them poison gas for a timer, and just… watches them scream and bleed for 93 minutes. The traps are no longer clever or personal; they’re just sadistic carnival rides (the needle pit and the hand-trap furnace are pure "look how nasty we can be" shock value). The big reveals feel cheap and contrived, the acting outside of Tobin Bell is bargain-basement, and Donnie Wahlberg spends the entire movie yelling like he’s auditioning for a different, worse film. The only saving grace is Jigsaw himself: Tobin Bell is still magnetic, and his scenes on the monitors are the only moments that remind you this series once had a brain. Everything else is the birth of torture porn as we know it: loud, ugly, and proud of it. Zero stars because this is the exact point where Saw stopped being horror and started being a gross-out contest. 0/10. The original was a game. This one’s just punishment. 🪤🩸🗑️ Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/25 Full Review Khaliel P Released in 2004, Saw became an unexpected phenomenon, earning $100 million on a $1 million budget, prompting Lionsgate to quickly greenlight a sequel. Saw 2 was created by rewriting Darren Lynn Bousman’s original script, The Desperate, to include Jigsaw, resulting in a coherent continuation of the story. The film features Amanda, a survivor from the first movie, and a new group trapped in a house filled with deadly puzzles, while Detective Eric Matthews negotiates with Jigsaw to save his son. Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw is more developed, showing a disturbed yet principled character, establishing the killer’s philosophy as a central theme. With more inventive and gory traps, fast pacing, and a shocking twist revealing Jigsaw’s accomplice, Saw 2 elevates the original film and lays the foundation for the franchise’s legacy.
