 Jigsaw's work continues... Feb 07, 2010
The gore factor has increased somewhat, but I'm still enjoying them. This one is a little hard to follow unless you watch the 3rd one just before this one. The reason is this one covers the past and present of the series. The twist at the end was pretty good too. The test storyline is pretty good too-but I won't tell it right now. More of Jsaws past is revealed as well, but the twist you'll have to figure out on your own.
(3.5 Stars) "Don't expect to be left untested" Jan 27, 2010
At the end of Saw III both John Kramer "Jigsaw" and Amanda Young were dead and there didn't seem to be anything else to say and the Saw story seemed to have reached a conclusion. The fact that Saw IV was released proves otherwise. After an autopsy on Jigsaw's body a tape is found in his stomach. The micro-cassette is then given to Detective Mark Hoffman in which Jigsaw told him not to think he will be left untested and that the games are not over just because he's dead. This movie's game tests Lieutenant Riggs who remains convinced that Eric Matthews (Saw II) is not dead (in this Saw we watch his fate as well). Saw IV provides plenty of flashback to explain past events as we learn how Jigsaw first started the "games", his motivations, the first trap he made and more. Best of all it makes sense and provides logic which is not provided in many horror movies that tend to ignore this. It opens the doors for what's next to come in Saw while at the same it reveals the story's origins.
Some may think of it as not a real Saw but rather a 3.5 but I disagree, it has its own story and they probably say this because of the flashbacks. I felt this Saw was a transition from the first three movies to the future of the series. I think the transition was well made and that despite not being one of the best Saw movies it's still a very good one that is surely worth it. The traps were once again terrific and it had an excellent story. 3 1/2 Stars for Saw IV.
Should have been Saw 3.5 Nov 30, 2009
This movie really shouldn't have been a stand alone installment. It's short and really connects to Saw III. They should have made Saw III longer and added these plot lines. It's similar to Saw III in that a character watches others make decisions, and Jigsaw tries to recruit them, as you try to figure out who is helping Jigsaw. Jigsaw is not as centric as in the other films. He is in flashbacks not real time in the movie. The flashbacks show what made Jigsaw who he is, but it cuts down on the suspense. I wish that Detective Hoffman was more explained his back story is foggy at best. I swear that some of the victims that have been killed in the opening of these films have more lines then he does. Other than that a decent film with nice flash backs but they hurt the overall suspense.
 this movie is good Nov 25, 2009
This movie is great. Almost all saw movies are good. The twist in this one is one of the best in any movie.
