Watch Saw IV For Free

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Moving the franchise into a trilogy, the third brutal torture horror film explains a bit more how Jigsaw pulls off the sick games while showing even more gore. The film begins with Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) breaking his leg in an attempt to escape captivity. Detective Kerry (Dina Meyer) searches for Eric but she also falls victim to Jigsaw's awful torture. The main story consists of John Kramer (Tobin Bell) and his pupil Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) kidnapping a surgeon Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) in order to keep John alive. Jigsaw wants to oversee one last game before he finally passes away so attaches a deadly necklace to Lynn's neck that has shotgun cartridges all around it and will go off if John's heart rate stops.The test revolves around Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) who must go through a series of awful tortures. He lost his son in a drunk driving accident and has never recovered. His first test is to help the woman who witnessed his son's death, Danica (Debra McCabe), from freezing to death. She is hung up naked in a frozen locker and has water sprayed on her periodically unless Jeff grabs a key. He burns his cheek grabbing the key but doesn't save her in time. The next round is the judge who let the killer go, Judge Halden (Barry Flatman). The Judge will be drowned in rotten pig guts if Jeff doesn't burn his son's possessions to get the key.

Saw IV is the best Saw by far! The story was a lot more interesting and more exiting! This movie also features my favorite Saw trap, which is the Scalping Seat. And similar to the surgery scene in Saw III, this film starts off with Jigsaw's autopsy scene, the effects and details were amazing, it looked so accurate to a real autopsy! The ending was probably the best ending out of all the Saw films, it even gives Saw III a bigger conclusion! This film is very underrated, sad to say, and I think it deserves way more attention than it has.

Saw IV (2007) does not waste ANY time at all with getting to the extreme gore. The very first scene in this fourth installment features the autopsy of John Kramer's dead body. I had to overt my eyes through about 75% of that first scene, I am not a fan of that kind of EXTREME violent content. This movie dives straight into the traps and continuing the jigsaw, Hoffman and Jill Tuck storyline. The acting is so-so, nothing to rave about at all, but I wouldn't say it's Razzie level. I liked Tobin Bell and Betsy Russel's performances, their storyline is interesting, it deals with exactly what drives John Kramer/Jigsaw into lunacy and into a serial killer. The traps are of course extremely gruesome and to be honest, not all that interesting. The characters other than Tuck and Kramer aren't interesting or well developed. This film has moments where it's interesting to see people's motivations behind what they do, but those moments come far and few inbetween and it certainly doesn't save it from being mediocre and mostly uninspired. Gotta give Saw IV (2007) a 5/10 due to the sense of unoriginality that runs rampant throughout the whole movie.

This is going to be the shortest review I've written for a Saw film, as this is the one with the least merit on every level...until 3-D. Not only does this fail utterly as a stand alone movie, but it also fails to advance the Saw series as a whole. The only meaningful thing to happen in this movie, apart from some Jigsaw flashbacks and the introduction of his ex-wife Jill (Betsy Russell) that could frankly have been used in any of the next three films, is that we learn Detective Mark Hoffman was in cahoots with Jigsaw and is actually going to take over his work as the Jigsaw killer and, as we're told at the end of the film by a tape retrieved from Jigsaw's stomach "his test will come.". We also see Jeff from the previous film get shot. Matthews finally dies (one of the best deaths of the series) and Jeff's daughter is saved by Hoffman. What to say about this film? It happens simultaneously with the third film, a cop out in and of itself as one of the main reasons I saw this movie was to find out what direction they would take the series in after Jigsaw's death. There's a new character, Rigg, who is being tested to be put in situations and not intervene. The film kind of hints that Jigsaw is trying to convert Rigg to his cause, leaving messages like "See what I see" and "Hear what I hear. Either that or simply make it look like Rigg is in cahoots with Jigsaw. There's an FBI Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson), who was the late detective Kerry's contact, who buys into the possibility that Rigg is either being tested or in on it. He's accompanied by Agent Perez (Athena Karkanis), who would go on to become important in later films in the series. And did I mention Rigg has been obsessed with saving people since Matthews disappeared, kind of like Kerry suffering from depression in part III? So basically, the Rigg story would have worked better if they hadn't killed off Kerry in Part 3 and just put her in the role in this film. A character we had seen in multiple movies in the series and was just thrown away in the opening 20 minutes of Part 3 with no build-up. This certainly would have made the film more satisfying, but I'm not convinced it would have saved it. More successful are the flashbacks of Jigsaw's origins, but like I said, these could have come in any of the films of the series, and this will be a continuing problem as the series progresses. Trying to add interest by introducing new background information on Jigsaw. Ultimately, the characters we're seeing caught in his traps and acting out the story in front of us is where the interest should come from, not in adding increasingly convoluted information to the backstory of characters whose story has already been told.Saw 4 is a lazy retread of a bunch of stuff we've already seen in the series, It puts off the inevitable problem of explaining what happens after jigsaw dies by happening while he's still alive. Worst of all, it fails to be a satisfying experience in its own right. The worst in the series so far, but it wouldn't take long for company to arrive.
