Synopsis
Jigsaw,
the diabolical criminal who captured the imagination of horror fans in
the 2004 hit Saw, returns in this equally bloody sequel. Eric Matthews
(Donnie Wahlberg) is a police detective who, after discovering the
aftermath of a particularly gruesome murder, is convinced that Jigsaw
(Tobin Bell) is up to his ugly tricks again. Matthews's hunch turns out
to be correct, but the master criminal proves to be disconcertingly
easy to capture. As it happens, Jigsaw is eager to be put behind bars
in order to throw the authorities off his trail as he once again
punishes people who in his eyes have transgressed the boundaries of
acceptable moral behavior. But instead of trapping two people in a
filthy dungeon where they must engage in a terrible contest in order to
win their freedom, eight people have been locked away by Jigsaw, and
they must torture their bodies and minds to achieve the terrible
justice Jigsaw seeks. Saw II was written by Leigh Whannell, who also
scripted the first film.
