Saw III

Having not seen the second installment to this series, I went into the theater clueless with my poor virgin eyes and found myself actually cringing as I watched a man pulling huge chainlinks from his body parts in order to save himself. This being one of the nastiest intros to a movie I have seen in a long time, I began wondering whether the entire two hours would be a gore-fest… thank god I was wrong.

Saw 3 takes place in the gritty lair of “The Jig-Saw” killer, where he and his sidekick have cooked up more devices for their players to experience. The problem however is that Jig-Saw is dying and in need of surgery, but being that he is who he is, the doctor would have to come to him.

This movie has twist upon twist, upon twist. We are treated to lots of bones snapping (cringe), skin being peeled off and disgusting maggot infested pigs… if that isn’t enough to turn your flesh, then the unstable balance between a well written story and the character portraits will. As usual I will say that this is a niche movie, that is definitely not intended for your average popcorn goobler. I loved how the first installment ended with the ultimate twist and this one came through similarly with surprise after surprise.

Go see Saw III… just don’t walk out on it after the first 15 minutes burns your sanity. It’s a well written gore movie, with an excellent cast.
