This feels lazy compared to the original. Rehashed jokes and having the saw theme is already overly done. The first movie's main theme was fun and original because it was in a video store with funny awkward situations with the employees. The movie could've been done in a funeral home, or supermarket, or some other common place, but as long as the comedic chemistry of the actors was there, it wouldn't have mattered the setting. The setting being a Saw trap room for this film felt like the director relied on the environment more than the chemistry, and the chemistry was scare package's true strength. This laziness bleeds into the other segments of the film, as things feel repetitive and trying too hard to make a joke work, compared to the original where things was loose and fun.
