Saw IV on DVD (2007)

PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/10/2007

Despite the demise of Jigsaw, there are still pieces missing for our detectives to puzzle over, and Rigg (Lyriq Bent) in particular has to face his worst nightmares to try and solve the latest slayings, this time the particular brand of dispatching people has been arranged to involve him directly. Despite being the 4th outing, and with what could potentially have been the knock out punch when Jigsaw passed away in Saw III, this is still intelligent well put together horror, no simple slasher bloodfest here, just a well crafted excellent film in a series that has not dulled or worn with time. I'm no real horror fan, but for my money you can keep these coming, would I say see saw.. you bet I would !

Absolute codswallop...Not scary,not particularly gory and a plot of utter nonsense to boot..What more can I say it's God Damn awful!

In retrospect only Saw the original was any good,in fact it was very good.

The subsequent sequels were all vastly inferior but nothing to match the putrefied stinking nonsense that is SawIV..

Ye I have forewarned thee.

Another fantastic saw film. i was worried that it cam out a bit soon after the last one, and surely it would run dry a little by now, but i was so wrong!

saw 4 is just as clever, well written, fantastically directed and genious as the rest. the film grabs you from the start and keeps your attention with beautiful gore scenes and the twists and turns keeps coming.

if you loved the other saw films you'll love this to, its definatly a must see.

and of course it ends very openly, i spy a saw 5 on the horizon!!

I loved this!

It's not as stomach-churningly gory as the other Saw movies, despite there being a realistic autopsy (maybe that's because I studied nursing though), but it gave you some background story on Jigsaw and I'm amazed at all of the unique methods of torture/murder - especially when Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) had his head crushed between two huge blocks of ice - that was completely unexpected for me and I don't think I looked away from the screen throughout the movie!

The only bit that ruined it was when Eric suddenly began talking with force and clearly, despite the chain tightening around his neck and him being exhausted from starvation and neglect, whereas before he'd been barely able to speak coherently because of the chain against his larynx.

A brilliant movie though and I'm seriously considering buying all of the Saw movies now.

Maybe it's just me but the time line doesn't seem to work. They've tried to be 'clever' but have only managed to achieve 'confusing'.

The film starts by a tape being retrieved from Jigsaws stomach and ends after the detective has followed the clues to end up at the end of Saw 3. Therefore, prior to the tape being discovered????.

Maybe I missed something but it left me disappointed, confused and irritated.
