During the autopsy of serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), a cassette tape is discovered in his stomach in which he warns that his gory games will continue. Sure enough, SWAT Lt. Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is forced to follow a blood-drenched trail of torture, dismemberment and death in order to find two missing colleagues. A pair of FBI profilers follow Riggs, suspecting he might be Jigsaw's accomplice, even as they unlock the puzzle of the killer's origins, seen in gruesome flashbacks.

Critics Consensus

Saw IV is more disturbing than compelling, with material already seen in the prior installments.

If violence is going to be your calling card, you have to make a choice: big gore or horrific exploitation. You don't get to do both.

This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear.

Torture, you may recall, used to be an unparsable, unpardonable sin. Now it's porn.

8/10

Undoubtedly one of the best and most effective sequels ever produced. It takes a well-developed and familiar formula, and innovates wildly. It plays unexpected technical and narrative tricks.

0.5/4

At least in previous entries, we could follow the conflict. Here, we’re lost in a garbled display of over-editing and flashy direction.

2.5/5

Saw IV marks the point at which the franchise began feeling like every other major horror movie IP, straining itself to chug along until the box office dries up.

it ok but kinda loses the saw vibe because they introduce completely new characters and then kill them off, but it builds up to saw 5 well. also the twist was a little predictable, hoffman is the most suspicious man ever but i still appreciate it

Saw IV is more of the same but less engaging. They should have stopped at three. The story is weak and ridiculous even for a Saw movie. Acting not very good. The only positive outside of the traps/gore was seeing flashbacks to Jigsaws past. Hopefully the back half of this franchise gets better. By The Numbers breakdown: Cast-5 Acting-4 Trailer-6 Ending-4 Story-4 Visuals-7 Direction-5 Sound-5 Genre-8 Sub Genre-8 The Faces For Radio score - 56

A step up from Saw 3 but still nowhere near comes close to the heights of the first two

En general las películas de terror resultan desagradables, inapropiadas y son un tipo de contenido que debería ser prohibido y eliminado en las películas y bastantes series de televisión, y las de Saw resultan en exceso sangrientas, con escenas que deberían ser prohibidas en todo el mundo (por lo fuertes y desagradables que son), recomiendo nunca ver ni una cosa ni la otra, vean cosas buenas y agradables porque para entretenimiento hay videojuegos, competiciones, deportes, ánime, y caricaturas, de lo bueno hay mucho para elegir así que eviten basuras, nada de Saw, Chucky, etc.

The weakest of the 4 movies definitely, but still love this franchise despite how farfetched it gets and stretching the John Kramer story out, but they made good use of his return in flashbacks and the 2nd half of the film was great, the 1st half was abit slow. The twists at the ending where very good!

The last 10 minutes and the twists at the end are really good. This gives you the feeling that you've just seen a really good movie, but it isn't. It was too boring and too little happened in the story. There weren't any big highlights in the traps either. Even several flashbacks couldn't help. So I think the movie is rather average and one of the worse in the franchise. But it's still a Saw film and in conjunction with the other films, this one also works well.
