Saw IV

Mike and I just finished watching Saw IV a little bit ago, and from what I saw through my fingers, I think it's gorier than any of the other three.

*** SPOILERS ***

The autopsy scene was HORRIBLE. I usually don't feel nauseous from watching things (I just shriek and flap my hands while I look away), but I had to breathe shallowly to make it through this part without throwing up. The washed out look of the autopsy room and the people in it was a nice contrast to the blood and guts as they were performing the autopsy. Seeing that fat guy's eyes get poked out then his limbs ripped apart was awful, as was watching that one chick's scalp get pulled off. Even using my usual method of peeking through my fingers didn't make it any easier to see. Ugh.

The one thing I heard most about this movie was how much it jumped around, but after watching it all the way through, I don't think it jumped around as much as I'd heard it did. Sure there were plenty of flashbacks, but all of those were obviously flashbacks. Once Mike and I figured out where the movie was in the timeline, we were set.

Scott Patterson (Luke from "Gilmore Girls") was one of the main characters, and while I love him to pieces as Luke, he was not cut out for the role of a grouchy hardassed FBI agent.

I liked the way the very end tied in with the end of Saw 3, and I'm looking forward to Saw 5 so I can get some answers to the questions they left unanswered. I'm not looking forward to the gore, though.
