This Thursday evening, ETSU’s Buctainment will be hosting a screening of Saw II in the D.P. Culp Center auditorium.
In October 2004, audiences enjoyed being a part of what one serial killer considered to be “therapy.”
Choosing his victims based upon their own ungratefulness for life, the killer created elaborate death scenes from which his victims were to escape – provided that they were willing to make the effort.
Unfortunately, the “effort” often involved severe self-mutilation or worse in murderous Jigsaw’s stomach-turning game of “Would You Rather .”
Saw II hit theaters this past Halloween, and Jigsaw has raised the stakes. In the original film, the story centered on two men trapped in a single room.
In the sequel, Jigsaw has collected over half a dozen victims and given them leave over an entire house full of puzzles, traps, and hidden clues.
Saw II, like its predecessor, depends on a very simple formula in order to be entertaining: it is bloody, frantic and macabre, and despite the formula still has the ability to surprise you.
Saw II is rated R for generous language and grotesque violence.
ETSU Buctainment generally has one or two movie screenings per week, which are free to students.
Saw II will begin at 7 p.m., although door prizes will be passed out to those students who arrive earlier.
