Personally I just don't understand why the Saw franchise has been successful, the first movie was a good concept poorly executed and the second wasn't great apart from a few novel traps. So comes Halloween time, Saw 4 has been knocked out but I still hadn't seen the third instalment. Would there be enough to change me into a jigsaw fan?
This episode sees our main villain Jigsaw consigned to his deathbed, slowly dying from a brain disease. Having garnered a sidekick in previous victim and now jigsaw groupie Amanda, he can still stage elaborate and gruesome traps for people who've got some skeletons in the closet or need an awakening on their life. So they kidnap a female doctor and place her in a collar rigged to explode should she fail to keep Jigsaw from flatlining. Meanwhile they're playing a game with a father torn with grief over the death of his young son. Should the father get through the series of traps then the doctor will be released. But of course nothing is all plain sailing and there are all manner of gruesome pratfalls that ensue as well as the obligatory twist and ending which leaves things open for the new instalment.
Out of all the Saw films I've seen so far, this ranks as the worst. It's main fault is that it's pretty boring for a horror film and lacks the imagination of the traps which gave a little bit of spark to number two.
The thing that has always annoyed me about all the films in the series is that they're sloppily directed and use that annoying methods of making you have a fit with some rapid cuts in the editing. It's not cool, it's not clever it's just lazy and fails to build any tension. Darren Bousman once again takes the reigns and paints the film in garish green colour tones and as many drunken monkey edits as he can.
Performance wise, everything is acceptable. Marky Mark's brother turns up from the second film and probably get's the best scenes. In all honesty I found all the traps in this one devoid of tension and design. The intent seemed to be purely on gore rather than having you on the edge of your seat.
IF you like the franchise then there's some good backstory but in the grand scheme of horror franchises this is nowhere near the top. And by the way I saw the twist coming pretty quickly.
- The DVD -
I have to admit that despite the garish colour scheme of the film, it looks pretty good on dvd with a crisp transfer and great handling of all the action scenes which mainly take place in darkness. The film's soundtrack also creates some great atmospherics within Dolby Digital, making it a great creepy environment to watch the film in.
- Extras -
What I got on this disc was not a great deal.
There are a couple of featurettes that deal with the making of film and the design of the traps. As I didn't find any of the traps interesting in this film I didn't really find a lot to enjoy. The directors diary segment is a behind the scenes look at Bousman working on the film. It's nothing special and ends before it really get's going, the only interesting bit for me was when he was directing an actor and actually explaining the various choppy editing methods he was to employ.
Rounding it out is a few deleted scenes and teasers and trailers for the film.
-Finally-
I found Saw 3 a bit boring, if you like the films then you'll probably go for this but to me they're prime examples of MTV style filmmaking at it's worst.
Advantages: A fantastic, clever film, great acting! Disadvantages: A very sick film, overflowing with gore!!!!
Oh my, Saw 3. What a film. I doubt that no other film has managed to make 3 people faint in different cinemas while it was been screened. It seriously is one of the most sickening things you will ever see! I can stomach most things, but even this was making me flinch and turn away!
Even though it is quite a disgusting film, it is also a brilliant film. It is very clever, and all the actors are simply superb, it is possibly the best acting in a film ... ...film in the Saw series, in case you haven't seen any of the Saw films, here is a short description of the basic idea of the films.
There is a man called John Kramer. He is suffering from cancer, and he feels that people that don't realise how precious life if deserve to find out… the hard way! He creates amazing traps for these people who he thinks don't appreciate the life they've been given, and in order to escape these traps, the person will ...

Advantages: It presents a complete picture? Disadvantages: ? but it's too gory; more than the other sequels
SawIII [film only]
I was drinking cranberry juice while watching SawIII 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 end up having a complete picture of a game that was played on the span of two hours, according to a perfect plan. Let the game begin?
The film presents the story of a man who seems to be filled with anger and vindictive feelings because of the death of his 8-year-old son, three years ago. The child was driving his bicycle and a young man hit him accidentally with his car. The judge ...
Advantages: A beginning as action packed as any ending Disadvantages: Incredibly dark especially during key scenes.
its worth a viewing.
Saw3: ExtremeEdition has no special features but does have a trailer hidden in the audio set up section, just highlight the icon that appears to be there as decoration.
The DVD is released on 26th February priced £12.99 from play.com ...
Advantages: Another great film in the Saw franchise Disadvantages: Can't think of any!
Saw3 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 is on his death bed & will not survive with just the help of Amanda alone & so realise that they need professional help but no doctor in their right mind will want to help Jigsaw & of course if the police find out where he is he will be immediately captured. So that's where another one of jigsaw's games come in. Him & Amanda capture a top surgeon & put a device on her head similar to ...
