This movie made absolutelly no sense whatsoever. I'm a huge gore fan, but this had no purpose. I felt dumber every second I set through this wrached... excuse for a horror film. I can't even begin to express where the movie went wrong. HUGE dissapointment. Full Review

i had high hopes and felt let down when the credits started rolling....by all means it was a good movie but....the first saw was original as was the... second one....the third one didnt have the same feeling the first two did ...but you could understand how it fit in with the motivation behind jigsaws madness...this movie deviates from the point of cherishing life, even though thats the card it plays the whole time.

I watch 31 horror movies the month of October...here's my review of Saw 4The storyline was easy enough for a 3rd grader to figure out. They... y didn't put the time into the story as they had the others...there's no way.2nd- they went for gore on gore. I never thought I'd be the one to say this...it should have received an X rating. It's a human autopsy not a horror flick. I don't get grossed out...again I don't ever get grossed out, but they went for a sick angle that wasn't for horror, but only to show the discovery channel to a higher detail that was WAY over the top.3rd- If this is going to be your 1st Saw film, don't make it this one.My Best Horror Films to date:Hostle 2Devil's Rejects Full Review

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

Austin Chronicle

Director Darren Lynn Bousman, who also helmed the past two installments, doesn't deviate from the stylistic formula, which includes grinding industrial music, frenzied editing and a blue-gray color palette.Full Review

Frank Scheck
The Hollywood Reporter

Even by the standards of the recent "Saws," which have enjoyed considerably larger budgets than the first pic, the new edition is more frenetically cut (by editors Kevin Greutert and Brett Sullivan), more dimly lit (by lenser David A. Armstrong), sweatier in terms of perfs by the grimly serious cast, more madly packed with micro-incidents and action, and more brazen in requiring suspension of disbelief.Full Review

If an hour and a half of so-called "torture porn" sounds like fun, you'll find Saw IV situated somewhere between the first in the cycle (a solid original with plenty of energy in it) and the last (a gasping copycat willing to do anything to stay alive).Full Review

Saw IV is bloody proof that Jigsaw may be dead, but his well of corporeal abuses has yet to run dry.Full Review
