Amazon.co.uk Review
Now we've arrived at Saw 4, it's fair to suggest that most will be familiar with the conventions of the franchise. The dastardly, and really quite sick, Jigsaw (played, as usual, by Tobin Bell) has once again been devising a series of testing, intricate traps to test his human subjects, and naturally when these go off, there's a fair slice of the film's budget set aside for the requisite blood and gore. If you weren't already aware, Saw films are absolutely not for the squeamish. The twist with Saw 4 is that it digs into the backstory of Jigsaw, although it's fair to say that it soon becomes a platform to layer on some more deadly traps. Mixing in flashbacks and present day events, the formula is ultimately well worn and well obeyed. Surprises are in short supply, even if there is the odd jump from time to time. There is a law of diminishing returns with Saw 4, however, and as the franchise matures the tricks because less impressive and the blood and guts quotient increases to compensate. Furthermore, director Darren Lynn Bousman occasionally goes overboard with his flash cuts, proving a distraction from the carefully constructed scenarios that were the trademark of the original. Still, criticisms aside, Saw 4 is here to do a job, and it has little qualms about getting on with it. Firmly made in the `more of the same' mould of sequels, it's compact, grisly and absolutely not the last film in the series. It might not be ambitious, but you can't deny it's not good at its job. --Jon Foster

 The horror continues. March 8, 2008

Being a fan of horror films and this series of films I looked forward to it's release and I wasn't disappointed.Tobin Bell as jigsaw is just fantastic and he has the perfect voice for horror,really fantastic.The ending of the 3rd instalment got me worried that Tobin Bell would not be as prominent in this film,but I was wrong.This is a brilliant carry-on from the others and the tie-ins from the other films is excellent.More gore more traps and more to come?.I won't give too much away but you must see this if you a fan of gore movies and the good thing about this series of films is that the story line is excellent in it's self,that included with the gore make's great viewing.Highly recommended.

Big Saw fan this was alot better than 2&3 but not in the same league as the first masterpiece. This film explained alot this time around to what has been going on during the other films which it needed to do there were some very clever twists and brillant death scenes. The death scenes are what you expect and it didn't fall short Im am glad they can think of new ways otherwise this might start to get boring. Bottom line there will be a another film the door has been shut on the next victims the question I ask myself does it need to carry on from where this finished again. Personally I would of liked the first Saw to have been the one and only because it was a outstanding film from the word go I really can't see any film that is made today ever coming close to it. I know as soon as the next Saw is out I will be watching it it's one of those things you have to do otherwise it might be game over!!!

SAW IV takes the franchise back to its best and for me is almost as good as the original.
Lets get the negative out of the way, yes for some its just another gore fest with an ever increasing loss of a plot and the series should have been finished way back.
I can't but help enjoy the gore fest, sick ? No, of course I enjoy the more serious fact based drama type stuff but watching films is also about fantasy and losing yourself in the on screen entertainment. Its a no brainer of a film, switch off, we know it ain't gonna win any awards for innovative film making, this is all about fun.
Back to the film, SAW IV again cranks up the gore with another set of genius traps for Jigsaw's victims to escape from - REALLY are gory ! What I liked about this installment was that it explained the reason that Jigsaw became who he is and why.
Stay locked though as towards the end many pieces are brought together and I did have to concentrate to understand what was going on, maybe I am just slow. The tension is increased with the usual fast, MTV style editing and visual effects.
Even as a die hard SAW fan I was concerned after SAW 3 but normal service has been resumed I am pleased to say. I believe that SAW IV is being handled by a different team from the previous 3 and on this effort I look forward to possible future installments. Does that mean the ending offers another in the series ? Come on, aren't you just loving this stuff too much ?!

This is an amazing film with everything an horror can ever ask for!!!
Ive always been a saw fan and after the third one, i said to myslef, that has to be it. But its not and im happy to say this one, a fith one and maybe a six one will soon be on DVD too.
I actually dreaded watching this due to the gore factor it had in the last one and i was right to dread. This film is best for the people of the strong stomaches!! If you havent got a strong stomache then keep this for a sleepover or a party!!
WARNING: i dont reccomend it to people who havent seen the first 3, eitherwise you'll be awfully confused!

After enjoying Saw when it was first released it was the fact that you didn't know it would spawn so many sequels that made it enjoyable, just like other great horror films. The Original Saw film still remains the best, due to it's sheer orignal idea and shocking conclusion. Saw 2 then followed and was good once more, but not quite on par with the first. then came Saw 3 and i was a bit dissapointed as it seemed like there was very little intrigue, just lots of gore and sick traps. Finally came Saw 4 and this sequel made up for the last one by keeping the traps sick but also exploring the themes of the Jigsaw and having a character to root for. The twist may never be as shocking as the first but it's always good to hear that famous Saw line. "You lose, Game Over".
Saw- 9/10
Saw 2- 8/10
Saw 3- 6/10
Saw 4- 8/10
