Verdict This simple put brilliant horror movie is a must watch for horror fans. The Saw team deliver another original shocker with a great twist ending. The music adds to the atmosphere, which just keeps tension growing and growing all the way to the climax never lagging once it starts. Each ghostly figure has different characteristics, which add to different scares. All the characters genuinely looked scared all the way through all scare sequences.
