Not horrified

Saw 4

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman

26 October 2007

The original Saw was so curiously terrifying. It reminded me the original Omen. Both haunted me for years.

Until I pumped up myself to see Omen sequels, and, I guess, Saw 4. Both effectively unhaunted me. Thanks. (I skipped Saw 2 and 3.)

Not that it is not a good movie. Serial killer movies are among my favorite genres. The perpetrator masterminded the crimes, the most hideous one of killing for no good reasons, and the good guys raced against time to rescue and catch the bad guy. Most of them come with a surprise at the end.

Among them, Saw 4 is pretty good. I was not disappointed. Just that it did not live up to the horror of the original.

They seldom do.
