Saw II
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
The chilling and relentless Jigsaw killer returns to terrorize the city once again. When a gruesome murder victim emerges with unmistakable traces of Jigsaw's sinister methods, Detective Eric Matthews is thrust into a high-stakes investigation. To his surprise, apprehending Jigsaw seems almost too easy, but what he doesn't realize is that being caught is merely another piece of Jigsaw's intricate puzzle. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw II I don’t think is that bad of a movie either, but it’s definitely very flawed
neutral · AI labelView post →I meant to write this last Tuesday, for the 20th anniversary. Alas, my younger kids were (non-perilously) sick. That’s ironic or appropriate, considering the opening night of SAW II was the date-night movie of choice (her choice, natch) for the first date with my eventual wife.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Moviesky Oh my God. Saw II is such a genius movie, like the first.
positive · AI labelView post →On to Saw II. Not the same director as the first movie but the writer from the first one is also writing for this one alongside this new director. I THINK I remember it still being good, but I might be wrong.
positive · AI labelView post →#DendensHalloweenDen Day 25: Saw II. The dreaded sequel of any succesful horror movie often forgets what made the original so good. Fortunately, Saw II expands on the same formula with a bigger scope and another killer twist. #31DaysOfHorror #CountdownToHalloween #DendensMovieDen #HorrorSky
positive · AI labelView post →Movie: Saw II (DVD) I did NOT expect to love this movie as much as I did. The traps were creatively disgusting, the twist was fantastic, and Tobin Bell and Donnie Wahlberg had amazing chemistry. This movie just may end up being my favorite from the franchise! #filmsky #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →So detective/murder mysteries are almost all trope, but one of my favorite trope that's legit a trope is Death Games. Squid Game, Alice in Borderland, and especially Danganronpa (and if you want to be strictly film, Saw II). I love all sorts of games, so taking that and twisting it always works.

We ended up settling on Saw, and she fukken loved it and is coming by on Saturday to watch Saw II. so. mission accomplished it would be ridiculous of me to even try and do the whole series with her. and yet

positive · AI labelView post →#DendensMovieDen. No. 68. Saw II. I haven’t a clue how many sequels Saw has by now. I can’t imagine them keeping the quality high, as it goes with just about every horror franchise. But I know Saw II still impresses with a bigger scope, and they did the smart thing to not (1/4)

positive · AI labelView post →Finishing up “Saw II” and this is honestly a pretty good sequel to the first film. The needle pit scene is still difficult to sit through and so is the razor blade trap the lady sticks her arms up into. Although that one seemed to miss the point that you could technically beat these traps.
positive · AI labelView post →THE COLLECTION still fucking rips. Features one of the greatest horror movie openings, followed by a tremendously violent cat and mouse game that evokes ALIENS, SAW II, and HOME ALONE. One hell of a villain lair. Someone’s gotta get that 3rd movie out of limbo.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Saw II I actually liked this one a lot. This is where the traps become more spread out. I like the idea of a group of people trying to escape from the house of traps, and I feel this does it well. Really good twist too. Also, I love Amanda's look in this movie.

To this day, I still regard Saw as a great trilogy, afraid to venture further into inevitable sequelitis of diminishing returns. I’ll probably check out the rest sometime, especially with this movie (1/7)

An awesome step in a long music career. It’s an unabashed b-slasher from the director SAW II and Spiral. Check it out! youtu.be/fAkM20N5YV0?... #movies #stout

neutral · AI labelView post →SAW II is a superior movie to the original SAW if only because it retains the cleverness but gains stakes by not allowing every trap to feel like a foregone conclusion by embedding them in obvious flashbacks. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →—Conjuring movies because I haven't seen them in forever, Christine, Maximum Overdrive, basically any car movie I can find really. I doubt I will get around to watching ALL of these but I'm gonna try. 🫡 Starting out with Saw tonight though and maybe Saw II and Saw III too.
neutral · AI labelView post →It could be worse, you could have thought Saw II was a good date movie because of media-informed assumptions that horror movie = scared date = hiding face in my shoulder = aw yiss. .....young me was a *fool*, my spouse who would stomp Jigsaw from here to Sunday is best
negative · AI labelView post →i remember watching Saw II there and it showed a road traffic PSA which always made me laugh - there was something about the dialogue that was very Jam-esque. the person in front turned around to tell me “that’s not very funny” and like, if you think that’s bad you ARE NOT going to enjoy this film.
