Customer Reviews

"My work will continue"....
I could always sympathize with John Kramer(jigsaw) on some level because i watched my mother die from cancer. he has easily become my favorite character in the genre. seeing this installment just shows even more, the man was a genius. twisted as he may have been.

this movie focuses on the events in the aftermath of Saw III and Jigsaw's past. We see more of what drove him to the point he was at, and we get to see his first game.

the main storyline is about Detective Riggs trying to find Detective Matthews from Saw II. its now been 6 months since his disappearance. i dont want to give anymore info away, b/c realization is half the fun with this series. ill just say it goes back and forth between Riggs situation and looks into Jigsaw's past.

The overall story is by far the most interesting in my opinion, even if only for the better look into John's past. not that the rest of the movie falls short, this is possibly the most engaging in the series. the traps are very clever, and in a case or two the pons really seem to deserve their fates.

i dont know how they'll keep the series going after this entry. Tobin Bell(Jigsaw) is the face of this series and a future horror icon. excellent movie.

AS FORTH INSTALLMENTS GO..... SAW IV IS NOT BAD!
OK, I'm a sucker for watching scumbags getting their due and 'Saw IV' delivers a very fast paced crime drama with plenty of blood and gore. The folks cranking out these movies know a couple of things that work.

1)Fast pacing
2)Keep the films short!
3)Hire decent actors

I must admit I wasn't expecting much from a 4th installment in the series, but it did hold my interest and I found the tension pretty high. If I had one problem with the film, it would be the ending. I just wasn't too clear on what I had witnessed. I'm not saying I don't get it, but I would have liked it to be as clear as the rest of the film. I thought it was clever to do a film about events that were happening at the same time as another film in the series. So I'm not really sure if this could be considered a true sequel? If your a fan of the series, 'Saw IV' doesn't really disappoint.

Continued commitment to suspence
I have been a fan of the "Saw" series from the beginning. Although I never paid to see them in a theatre, I have enjoyed them at home. I presumed that the complexities of the genre would diminish the "reality" of the subsequent movies; I have been pleasently and thouroughly surprised by the "believability" of the Jigsaw campaign to teach lessons and influence people. When "Saw VI" is released I, again, will wait and watch it at home. I would like to see Director James Wan in charge of the next movie because I believe the direction in the first movie was the best of the five. I, also, hope that Hoffman, Koules, and Burg produce a film that will continue to stretch the limits of the audience's pulse by making the plot continually more complex without making the gruesomeness predictable, i.e. "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Friday the 13th", and "Halloween".
