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. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Jul 23, 2008

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. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sep 6, 2023
0.5/4

Stephen C @dogfood23111 Oct 22, 2026 Success in 01 hour, 32 minutes, and 00 seconds. See more Catielly C @catiellyachaves Oct 18, 2026 It's more violent than the first three, loved by fans but enemy of critics — Famous Torture Porn of Terror — I'm bothered by some traps and some characters too. It's not the best, nor the worst... Those who will come next will be able to be worse, I like this one a little bit that bothers me in some parts. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 10, 2026 All Saw Movies are torture porn See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 1, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Sri K @RT78004441 Aug 15, 2026 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 See more Jone L @mraura Aug 5, 2026 Actually enjoyable plot and huge plot twists See more Read all reviews
