Saw II (2005)
Saw II is the admirable sequel to 2004’s Saw (also available to view right here at Best Slasher Movies) and picks up the gore right where it’s predecessor left off.
Saw II opens with one of the best opening scenes I’ve ever seen in a slasher movie as a man has the option of gouging out his own eye to save his life or face death by the Venus fly-trap like device around his neck. From there the blood continues to rain.
Perhaps more suspenseful than the first, Saw II continues with Jigsaw’s creative and brutal booby traps that intend to show their victim’s they are doing things in life they need to be punished for. As always, the salvation is always within reach if they look for it. No one ever does – well, expect that one girl. Watch the movie. You’ll know who I mean.
Quick Review: This is what a sequel is meant to be. It outdoes the first in the blood and guts department and doesn’t lose the intriguing story that made us love the first one so much. The first movie – its characters and plot lines – twist expertly through the second enough to thrill fans of the first movie, but not so much that it can’t stand on its own.
