Saw III


** Stars


Warning: Saw III is without a doubt one of the goriest films of all time. Yes, of all time.

The third installment of this trilogy is for horror fans and horror fans only. The jigsaw is back for the final test (who knows anymore, there could be two more installments if it wanted too) in this twisted and stunningly brutal slasher flick.


Jigsaw (Tobin Bell in his signature role) is dying from a frontal lobe tumor. His new apprentice, Amanda (Shawnee Smith) is taking over his legacy. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekhis) is the latest victim in his latest game. After finishing a shift at her hospital, Lynn is kidnapped and forced to keep Jigsaw alive until another victim completes his tasks. Jeff (Angus MacFadyen) and Lynn struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, tests that are more disgusting then anything I have ever seen.

Jigsaw must have some sort of magical presentiment skill because he can predict every move that every one makes. The only problem with this installment, like the second one, is this idea to find a way to make the audience gag at every stage of the film. Take into consideration that the gore in this film has reached a new level in horror films. From cracking bones, to drowning in pig remains, to open brain surgeries, Saw III gives gruesome a new name for itself. Enter at your own risk. You may be leaving without your dignity and the will to ever eat again.
