Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (DVD)

In the summer of 2006 Saw 3 reached the news headlines, people were vomiting and passing out in the cinemas because of the extreme nature of the movie. Of the back of this publicity over night all cinemas were given a trimmed down version of the movie from the producers, who obviously did not want the movie to get banned in this country. So after three nights of screenings, it was only an edited version that the UK public got to see. With the release ...
...seeing this movie? I saw Saw and thoroughly enjoyed its graphic nature, but for various reasons Saw 2 just slipped me by; so in a manner I'd never advise I went straight from the original to the third and final outing "allegedly". I can not emphasise the point, don't do this see all the movies and especially don't consider watching this version if you have not seen the original; as a key scene in the third movie may throw you into some serious confusion. ...

Review of Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (DVD)

Saw III [film only] I was drinking cranberry juice while watching Saw III again… yes, I was actually drinking a red juice while hearing bones being crushed, muscles being torn, and blood splashing on people's faces. Yummy, but I wonder where this is going to lead me. When you begin watching Saw III, you will only see a series of terribly gory scenes, and definitely wonder what you have gotten yourself into. But if you give the film a chance, you'll ...
...The good thing about Saw III is that it answers a number of questions that you might have, rather than just posing more questions and leaving unfinished business as the other sequels do. At the end of this film, you are actually fooled into believing that this is the last Saw sequel; by now we know it isn't. It also deals with believable issues; you might agree with Jigsaw that people should learn to let go. I have to say here that I do not condone ...

...illustrate their ethics. Saw Three for those of you who do not know is the third film in a blood saturated trilogy. If you haven't seen the other two- especially the first one, then I would hazard that the film won't make all that much sense in it's conclusion for you, though parts of it can be watched without any preknowledge of the movies. Just in case those of you reading haven't seen either of the previous films, I'll give you a swift rundown ...
...a twist in every film. Saw 2 throws more victims into the mix, a bigger twist and a lot more gore. Now before I start on the movie proper, I just want to get started on one thing that really bugs me about this trilogy, and that is John (the serial killer.) He vehemnantly denies being a murderer, indeed claims to hate murderers, and claims he does not kill his victims, he just tests their dedication to the life. Could someone tell this man that from ...

Review of Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (DVD)

Saw 3 is the last of a trilogy about a man called Jigsaw. He is a sick psychopath who thinks up new ways to completely destroy the unfortunate individuals who he makes his victims. The story is hard to follow if you haven't watched the previous films and in my opinion is better than Saw 2 but still not up to the standard of the original Saw. Story: The evil puppet-master Jigsaw a.k.a. John Kramer is at work again. But there's a twist. He is dying ...
...his evil games that we saw in Saw 1. She has completely transformed and now has even more of a sick mind than Jigsaw himself. Jigsaw tests her but she fails. The games she plays are unwinnable, her "subjects merely victims". Jigsaw claims that he is not a murderer and goes as far to say that he despises them. He says that he doesn't kill his victims, he just helps them to appreciate their life. Amanda kidnaps a doctor who must keep him alive to ...

Review of Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (DVD)

Saw 3 is the second sequel in this brilliant horror series, it was released in late 2006 a year after Saw 2. This is by far the most inventive film & also looks like the end of the film franchise as Jigsaw is on his death bed & eventually dies but of course is sheer Jigsaw fashion the games don't stop there. This film follows on from Amanda's 'friendship' with Jigsaw in her helping him with his sick games & also helping him survive his Cancer. Jigsaw ...
...another great film from the Saw franchise which like the others holds your attention brilliantly & has a lot of little twists throughout the film. The directors of these films love to keep you guessing & unlike some films which can be predictable this is the complete opposite. This film is as shocking as the rest of them. ...

...brutal, bloodthirsty horror of 2006; Saw 3. My first encounter with the movie was after Christmas as I had just been introduced to saw 2 by my sci-fi fanatic sister. I must admit when I first heard I thought ok this sounds cheesy and as the movie continued I was gradually proved right. Many parts of the movie were fantastically filmed and superbly acted but other areas proved the theory that number one in a trilogy is always the best. The movie starts ...

When she awakes she is met with a man who is clearly on his death bed and she later becomes aware that he is the dreaded Jigsaw or as he is addressed in this movie; John. At this time she is also met with 'The Game.' Jigsaw's assistant Amanda cautiously places what seems to be another torture device only ...

Review of Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (DVD)

The second ‘Saw’ sequel develops the mythology of sadistic puppet-master Jigsaw (Bell) in ambitious, gruesome but ultimately self-defeating ways. Despite the twisted imagination he and his protégé Amanda (Shawnee Smith) lavish upon their ingenious engines of pain, there are no scares or suspense to speak of, and the screams are starting to sound thin. Although the perverse master/pupil dynamic is explored to some effect, the complicated flashback structure is more confusing than enlightening, the hyper-kinetic images more agitating than exciting. Debilitated by a brain tumour, Jigsaw abducts depressed brain surgeon Lynn (Bahar Soomekh) and forces her to Black and Decker his skull, while wearing an explosive collar linked to his heart monitor. Fully conscious throughout, Jigsaw amuses himself by monitoring the tests he has devised for Jeff (MacFadyen), an alcoholic consumed by fantasies of vengeance since his son was killed in a car accident. As the overwrought puzzle plot is strained to breaking point, the sole point of interest is the teasing (probably disingenuous) hint that this attenuated instalment might be the last of the series.

...No, really. Look away. Saw 3 kicks off the trilogy's reputation for gore almost instantly, and doesn't let up. There are times when the plotting and twists that made Saw and Saw 2 so ingenious and rewatchable seem to be lost under a haze of squirming and retching, but the film delivers an excellent narrative structure held up the acting talents of Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith who reprise their roles of the sinister Jigsaw and his unhinged apprentice ...
...remake than a sequel. Saw 3 does its best to weave into the plot structure of the first two films, however the flashbacks, revisits, jumpcuts and dizzying visual can at times become confusing and lend weight to the idea that this second sequel is resting heavily on what has come before it. This Extreme Edition DVD offers all the extended bloodying, piercing and squishing that the majority of UK cinema audiences were denied, and a wealth of extra ...

Glory third film out of the four now. The plot is ok but from being a edge of the seat film its all become about gore. Only worth seeing if you've seen the first two. -The Plot- The Jigsaw killer is now dying of terminal cancer, so he gets his helper to kidnap a doctor to keep him alive through his last killing spree. The story line is now abit outlandish. Here we see the jigsaw killer on a hospital bed in his warehouse with a doctor doing everything ...
...does this you ask? She has a contraption around her neck, if he dies, she dies. The contraption will crush her neck, this contraption is linked to the jigsaw killers heart rate. So she goes about relieveing the pressure on his brain by slicing his skull open. As I said it's a gory film. Worth a look, but only if you like horror with loads of blood in it. ...

This is the third outing into the world of Jigsaw, the master of cruelty and an absolute must for any serious gorefest fan. From the very start the torture scenes are dificult to watch without hiding behind your hands. The final torture scene, which involves a contraption that twists human limbs to breaking point, is probably the most gruelling. Probably will not receive any Oscars but is worth a watch!! ...

The more gory of the Saw anthology to date (yet to see Saw IV) if you like blood and guts and sadistic killing machines then this is one to watch. The plot has started to run thin however, nowhere near as gripping as the first film. All in all worth watching. The best thing i think about the film is the fact that it does link in to the other previous installments, tying up loose ends here and there and also offering an explanation as to how the ...

...than no one else, in Saw 3 his dying body does not prevent him from dishing out justice better than ever. It helps if you have watched the previous two films before going to see Saw III, the story can stand alone but the previous two set the stadard and its exciting to see how this one measures up. I went to see this in the cinema the day it came out, an avid Saw fan i was not dissapointed. The day the dvd was released i was down asda (cheapest ...
...that has always made the saw series was the originality of the traps and tortures, and installment 3 has more than both prequals but together. Im not going to spoil the story, thiS is a review after all and will be seen by people who may Eventually buy it, and i urge you BUY IT! All im saying is that jigsaw, coming to the end of his life has handed his legacy over and plans to go out with one final bang, Packed with excellent features, including ...

...I have been following the SAW series from the beginning, and it is starting to falter just like many sequels (scream, terminator, batman) to name a few, here we catch up with Jigsaw who is now ill (or is he) so he gets help, his helper takes on his mantle and carries out his dirty deeds with mechanical effectiveness. Anyone who sinned in the past were prime targets, but now the stakes are upped when seemingly innocent targets are pulled into the ...
