A groundbreaking and innovative horror movie was released in 2004. It featured a fun setup and iconic imagery. The ending was something wild. And in 2005, a sequel was released and an annual event was created. "If it's Halloween, it's Saw." This is Saw II.
BREAKDOWN:
From Rebekah Swain on IMDb...
Detective Eric Matthews, along with fellow police officers and a SWAT Team, locate Jigsaw's lair and go to arrest him, but discover that his arrest is only a part of Jigsaw's plan. Matthews soon learns that eight people are trapped in an old house and are playing one of Jigsaw's games. One of them is his own son, Daniel Matthews. Eric learns that if he wants to see his son again, he must play one of Jigsaw's games as well.
MY THOUGHTS:
Oh, man...where to begin. The release of Saw II was an EVENT! I loved (and still love!) the first Saw, but this sequel knew how to amp things up and take the game to the next level and kept the intricate storytelling going. By far my favorite sequel in the franchise.
