As the only surviving person from the first film waits in a mental institution certain that death will get her, a new woman starts to have premonitions of death. She is driving along a highway and witnesses a terrible accident where several fatalities occur. Moments later, the vision is gone and the scene starts to unfold before her for real, but she intervenes and saves several of the people she saw perish in her vision. However, death starts to reclaim each survivor one by one. The woman decides to contact the only survivor from the first film to see if they can come up with a way to stop this deadly cycle.
Being a sequel, some of the originality was gone as I knew what to expect. It seemed just like a remake of the first film with a different beginning, the same middle and a similar end. There was one twist that I liked which was when you found out that all of the characters in this film had an eerie similarity. Other than that, the death sequence in this film were even more over the top than the first and were more comedic than tragic. There is a third film in the sequence that is in theaters now, but I can't image what more needs to be told to necessitate a third film. I'll probably watch it to find out, but it's definitely a rental.

Saw this one in Detroit, then bought it when I got back. This film is as creative as the first and they definitely have found some new and inventive ways to kill off the characters. In the world of suspense/horror/scary movies, this series the "Saw" series are the best out there.
Rating: 3.5 of 5 and I've already watched this one about 3 times.
