Saw IV (Blu-ray Disc, 2008, Widescreen - Unrated Director's Cut)

Just got back from a grueling bloodbath by name Saw IV. Of course, all of us know what to expect from the Saw series. Typically Saw series does not have a light moment. But at Regal Cinemas, Knoxville we had a comical couple of minutes when Rambo trailer showed right before the movie. Everyone in the theater had a chuckle or two when we heard "Do you know what he is capable of ?" in the Rambo teaser. Ok, back to the movie review ...

The fourth one in the series begins where the third one ended. Jigsaw and his accomplice are dead. Jigsaw's body is post-mortemed and the first few minutes go into intricate details. Many might find it unpalatable. The doctors find a tape in Jigsaw's stomach. Detective Hoffman gets to hear the contents of the tape. Couple of men find themselves chained through a mechanism. One of them has his eyes sewn shut and the other his mouth. The one with his eyes sewn has a key on his neck and the other guy succeeds in getting the key to unchain himself. Several scenes play concurrently and it floats through time line and flashbacks. A certain detective Rigg who is very obsessive about doing the right thing gets drawn into Jigsaw's game. He has to save the detective Donnie from the 2nd part who has an injured leg.

This detective Donnie is suspended on a block on ice which slowly melts and Rigg has 90 minutes to rescue him. Another scene is Jigsaw's ex wife being interrogated. The third scene is the flashbacks involving Jigsaw and the birth of all "games". What follows is a tricky and mind-blowing game of life, saving some, and letting go of some. The climax as usual will take you by surprise.

This movie has more blood, cries, and tortures than first three franchises of Saw put together. This movie is brilliant in its narration and twists. The movie shuffles between the present and past so frequently, that at times you might get confused. The director has limited lighting on the movie and at times it's very tough to figure out who is on the screen. But after watching the movie, you will know why. If you liked the previous franchises of Saw, I definitely recommend Saw IV (4). DO NOT watch Saw IV if you've not seen earlier ones. This movie brings a lot of characters and stories from Saw II, and Saw III.Recommend ONLY for non-weak hearted !!

A MUST BUY IF YOU HAVE THE OTHER 3!

OVERALL
8/10

Excellent movie if you like psychological thrillers. If you have a weak stomach, I would not recommend this movie, however.

Tremenda pelicula.. Tengo las otras partes y esperando a la quinta que salga en blu-ray. Se la recomiendo esta fina.

This is a great movie can't wait to see SAW V....These volumes are so intriguing one to another...it sure keeps you you on your feet...never know whose oh Jigsaw....it could be you next....

Great film, in a great format.
Thank you......................................................................................................................................................

i bought saw 4 in blu ray. even though used still cheap then in stores. also fast shipping!

Another great movie from the Saw creators...plot is deeper than the others and almost hard to keep up with. Anyone who enjoys a grisly horror film with a good plot will love this one.

Graphics are awesome! The story is a little all over the place at least to me, but it's the usual tale, and great movie, I'd watch it over again. SAW's are #1 crazii insane movies. HOTTNESS.

Not the best saw movie in my opinion but it was much better than the third!! all of the saw movies are fun horror movies to watch but not really scary. I think twisted would be a better word. PQ is really clean and the sound quality is really good to. If you have the other saw movies like i do it is a must buy just to finish the collection. Not a bad movie though, it keeps you guessing throughout.

Good show worth the watch... Good price and I wanted to test the bluray player on the PS3. Picture quality was great got the full effects of the movie and the HD TV.

THE BLOOD, THE PSYCHOTICNESS, THE TRAPS, IT ALL MAKES FOR THE GREATEST HORROR MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!! ITS A MUST BUT FOR ANYONE THAT LOVES HORROR!!!!!!

Another very strong outing for this franchise. The Saw movies really are not what they are commonly referred to: gore fests, horror films, slasher movies, etc.. They are really very complex and complicated screen plays that play with the time line of the film to keep you on your toes and always trying to guess the next move. They are very strong on continuity as each film uses all of the Saw movies that came before it to add to the mix of what is going on to keep you confused just enough... and then the pieces will all fall into place for you. Not for the lover of the slow paced film this time around for sure. With so much going on and you are not sure until the end when it was going on and what really was happening that you will love the wrap up ending that still leaves the door open of course for Saw V! If you enjoyed any of the previous Saw movies you will need to see this one!

This movie is well good full of good traps and wot but you should not watch it if ur feelings is well sensitive

If you thought the Saw movies were not going to get worse, you are wrong. It wasn't a horrible movie, but it wasn't good. The makers of this movie must have thought Saw III wasn't good because it didn't have enough blood. More blood and less story didn't make it any better. Definitely not a must see, even if you've seen the other three and think you need to finish them.

The iteam was in a great price and the communication with seller good I own the first 3 movies and I was looking for this fourth installment and in Blu ray . The price was way bettar than retail stores.

I like the movie. The movie had a lot of back story in it and the movie keep you looking at it from start to finish. But the reason I got the movie is for my boyfriend that loves Blu-ray dvd.

great movie, it being on blue ray made it just that better. great quality and the whole idea or plot of the movie answered any if any questions left from the other 3. i loved it.

This movie has some well thought out twisted plots from Jig-Saw. He has come up with some of the most twisted scenes and there are plenty throughout this entire movie. From the beginning to the end, there is blood and twisted jig-saw plots. I would recommend this to anyone who liked previous Saw movies or anything with lots of blood.

Great Movie!
I admire the concepts used in creating this movie. Nice torture methods. A bit sick and twisted but its something new. Never seen anything like this before.

Highly recommended.

Should buy all the 4 parts to understand it properly.
