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 Tim Grierson Screen International Jul 23, 2008
This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Nov 17, 2007

Torture, you may recall, used to be an unparsable, unpardonable sin. Now it's porn. Go to Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy May 29, 2026

The worst part? It actually gets worse from here. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Jan 19, 2026
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 Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Sep 10, 2026 All Saw Movies are torture porn See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 1, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Sri K @RT78004441 Aug 15, 2026 I found this to be my 2nd favorite of the franchise and it’s amazing, the beginning autopsy scene is my favorite saw scene ever, it is so well made and shot, great action gore and twists along with the rest of the movies See more Jone L @mraura Aug 5, 2026 Actually enjoyable plot and huge plot twists See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 É aqui que a coisa desanda de vez. As paletas de cores, as transições de cena bizarras, Strahm gritando o tempo todo sem realmente resolver nada? Mesmo assim, vale a pena assistir, principalmente porque eles não deixam um certo personagem ter um minuto de paz. See more Justin T @RT08580778 Jul 2, 2026 The autopsy is horrible and basically only serves to be gory. The way the series is overcut and has such wild camerawork is starting to become annoying. I don’t like the new cast members and the story is uninspired at best. The detective stuff is dull. We didn’t need the origin story stuff but I guess it means we get more of John Kramer so okay. The traps are fun but not as memorable as the previous films. Pretty disappointing overall offering nothing new. See more Read all reviews
