	Horrorfest Administrator Review
	A lot of viewers enjoyed this film and a lot did not. This one was fairly tough to rate because some areas of this film are okay while some try so hard and fail. This may be the only film that I have watched De Niro in and thought that he was completely wrong for the role. As for Dakota Fanning, she delivers a good performance throughout.

	Horrorfest Administrator Review
	Following in the original’s footsteps in more ways than one, Saw II delivers a pretty good sequel to an excellent original film. The acting is still not great by any means, but the story can certainly hold a viewer’s attention for 93 minutes. The ending does not contain as great of a twist as the first Saw, but it does tie together the first two movies in a satisfying enough way that many fans will appreciate. Of all the Saw sequels, this is the best to date.
