Saw 2 (II): Directors Cut

This is essentially Saw 2 with a second disc packed with new special features different from those on the previous released DVD. As for the film, it's not a 'Director's Cut' as the box makes out, but instead - 'a newly remastered alternate cut'. Which I think means that certain scenes have been re-jigged around a bit, as to be honest I failed to notice anything new in the film. And unless you played the two versions along side one another I doubt you would either.
If you haven't seen Saw 2, then definitely get this version. It's better all round, with some cool special features and incites into the Saw franchise.
Don't get me wrong, Saw 2 isn't a patch on the first film. But never the less it's still an enjoyable horror film with another clever twist at the end. And to my mind it is still the best of the Saw sequels with some truly horrific and well thought out traps. Problem is that if you already own the original Saw 2 DVD release then it's not really worth getting again, unless of course you are an absolute Saw fanatic and must own everything.
Typically this is one of those re-releases that always seem to get conveniently released when a sequel is doing well at the cinema in an attempt to rekindle interest in the franchise with sneak peaks of the new film on the special features disc. This DVD is certainly no exception. The thing is that any self-respecting Saw fan will have probably seen both Saw 3 and 4 by now, rendering these features pointless and obsolete. Never the less this is the definitive Saw 2 DVD, so if you don't already own it then get this and enjoy. No doubt a 'Director's Cut' of Saw 4 will come out when Saw 5 is released at cinemas. Mark my words!

This is a very good sequel to the original.
It is a continuation from the original story, so if you have not seen the first, the film will leave you confused.
This film is almost as clever as part 1, but is let down by one dimentional characters, and there are more deaths and more gore, But the first film was clever enough not to rely on blood and guts, for shock value, the first movie got under your skin by it's mind games.
But apart from this the traps are very clever in set up. Just look at the opening sequence with the victim looking for the key. It's these life or death situation that do really affect, as you tend to start thinking what would you do in that situation. Like the original the ending is a clever twist, with a great uncompromising shock.
This is a very good thriller, and a very worthy sequel.

Personally as a horror fanatic I loved this movie, just when you think there couldnt be another twist
Bang there is and its great, the story is good and very clever and makes you think about what your seeing, the cast is great and we see the return of the wonderful Shawnee Smith, if your into horror then these movies are a must they are full of blood and gore and cringe worthy moments. Make sure you see them all.

I was forced to watch the 1st which I found more of a comedy than a horror and to be honest I found this to be exactly the same. There are much better films out there than this.
