It's releasing this Halloween! Excellent movie to watch then.

I liked the first one much better (but that may be partly to do with the fact that I loved Cary Elwes ever since the Princess Bride). And it had Not-Henry from Lost! I had some problems with the second one, like they never explained the backstories of all the people in the house. There was that one pretty blonde girl who didn't look like she could do anything bad, so I was dying to see what she had done to get in there, and they never showed it! But Jigsaw was great, and I liked the bit with Amanda too. Didn't realize it until right before they explained it all.

I preferred the first one. It was more realistic (if you could call it that), the twists and turns were less predictable and frankly, some of the stupidity levels of the characters in the second one had me hoping they'd take their screen exit really quickly.

Strangely though, I didn't react the same way to "the scenes" as a lot of people apparently did. Supposedly there's one significant scene in each that's supposed to be more horrific than the rest, the first has the reverse bear trap, the second had the pit for the drug dealer. I actually found other scenes more horrific than those, the wire cage in the first and the opening scene in the second movie both had my stomache churning.



I thought one of the points made was that the cop had been framing people in order to get them landed in jail? Yeah, he'd got a few people who had actually been doing things (the drug dealer, etc) but even so he'd been planting evidence (?).

I watched Wolf Creek expecting it to be similar - major disappointment. Still need to get around to seeing Hostel.

They still could have explained what he framed her for.
