Jigsaw is back. The brilliant, disturbed mastermind who wreaked havoc on his victims in last year’s SAW is back for another round of horrifying life-or-death games. When a new murder victim is discovered with all the signs of Jigsaw’s hand, Detective Eric Mason (Donnie Wahlberg) begins a full investigation and apprehends Jigsaw with little effort. But for Jigsaw, getting caught is just another part of his nefarious plan. Eight more of his victims are already fighting for their lives – and now it’s time for Mason to join the game...

While investigating the bloody aftermath of a grizzly murder, Detective Eric Mason (Donnie Wahlberg) has the feeling that it is the work of Jigsaw, the notorious killer who disappeared leaving a trail of bodies - and parts - behind.

And Mason is right.

Jigsaw is at work again. But instead of two people locked in a room with only one unthinkable way out, there are eight. Eight strangers – unaware of their connection to each other -- forced to play out a game that challenges their wits and puts their lives in jeopardy.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"While I don't normally need a movie to persuade me to have a drink, I need a few after this one, not to wallow in the experience of seeing a terrible movie, but to dull my senses after the horrific and spectacular onslaught of incredible filmmaking and mind-twisting terror."

- Brian Gallagher

"Looking for a fun, demented, gruesome, shocking fix this Halloween season? Then you need a prescription for Saw II. It may be ultraviolent, but damn it’s a rush!"

- Dodd Alley
