During the autopsy of serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), a cassette tape is discovered in his stomach in which he warns that his gory games will continue. Sure enough, SWAT Lt. Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is forced to follow a blood-drenched trail of torture, dismemberment and death in order to find two missing colleagues. A pair of FBI profilers follow Riggs, suspecting he might be Jigsaw's accomplice, even as they unlock the puzzle of the killer's origins, seen in gruesome flashbacks.

If violence is going to be your calling card, you have to make a choice: big gore or horrific exploitation. You don't get to do both. Go to Full Review

8/10
Undoubtedly one of the best and most effective sequels ever produced. It takes a well-developed and familiar formula, and innovates wildly. It plays unexpected technical and narrative tricks. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sep 6, 2023
0.5/4
At least in previous entries, we could follow the conflict. Here, we’re lost in a garbled display of over-editing and flashy direction. Go to Full Review

George W Apr 13, 2019 "Saw IV" provides an interesting story, if not convoluted at times. However it doesn't deliver anything original and the performances aren't up to par. See more
Finn W Feb 1, 2019 now the only thing that you go to the cinema to watch the movie ''saw'' is for the traps...
Ron S Jan 26, 2019 If you enjoy squirming and closing your eyes for half the movie, this is it.
Finn R Nov 21, 2018 Saw continues, it run as a horror and suspenseful movie!
Leia L Oct 18, 2018 Saw IV is an improvement over the irritating Saw III with plenty of great traps for fans and a surprise ending that caught me off gaurd. See more
Hagrid S Jun 25, 2018 Is this Saw 3 or 4? Overall, Saw 4 is a treat for the die hard Saw fans out there, and delivers on its purpose.
