Thoughts Before Viewing: It takes a lot of balls for a very successful horror franchise to kill off their main bad guy. Normally when this happens, he comes back as some supernatural bad guy. Thankfully, SAW IV did not do this. Instead they went with telling a story that was happening as the events of part three were happening. This is one of the big reveals, along with finding out Detective Hoffman has been helping Jigsaw. Other than that, I had kind of forgotten the traps and the story. Unlike the last movie, I remember not liking this one very much so that explains me not remembering much else.
Thoughts After Viewing: When I saw the black officer from the previous films was the focal point in this one, I instantly remembered everything about the movie. The movie wasn’t as bad as I remembered but that doesn’t mean it's that good (because it is not). It was interesting to see the story unfold, especially getting to see the Detective Matthews story wrap, but the traps weren’t very good. I only liked the hair in the gears traps. Very disappointing to have a SAW movie with lame traps. So why did I like the movie a little better this viewing? Probably because I now know how bad part five is.
Movie Total : 434
