PROS:
CONS:
- Saw completely changed the horror genre, it is a very unique movie which includes many things which you see in movies nowadays.
- When riddles/games are involved with horror movies it is always fun, but when it's executed well to this point, it's very enjoyable.
- there is a lot of elements in this movie which just feel so shocking, whether that is choices characters are forced to make or just the violence and hire itself.
- The tension is high throughout this whole movie, and it cleverly makes the two characters trying to escape hold information from each other, so there isn't that trust between them.
CONS:
- some of the editing feels quite over the top and I don't feel like that part of this movie has aged too well.
PROS:
CONS:
- A solid follow up to Saw.
- We get some great new traps and scenarios which allow for some real gory and hard to watch scenes.
- Tobin Ball as Jigsaw is more present than in Saw and we really get to see how psychotic he truly is.
- There are a few clever little twists which make this movie entertaining.
CONS:
- The acting is pretty poor, so it makes it hard to care about them or any consequences they may face.
- There isn't as much of a mystery surrounding this sequel compared to the original which makes the tone very different.
- Just like Saw, I hated the editing where it would have so many cuts in between intense scenes.
PROS:
CONS:
- It is a fun watch knowing that is the directorial debut of Edgar Wright.
- You could really see their was passion behind this and it is very self-aware. Overall it's a fun, low budget parody from Edgar Wright.
- I did find myself laughing at how over the top it was quite a bit.
- Given a minuscule budget the set, costume, etc. Look quite good.
CONS:
- Understandably it lacks much professionalism and the acting isn't fantastic as it pretty much is a student made film.
