A nasty little film.

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2007)

Saw 3 follows the rule of decreasing quality and increasing gore that horror films continually find themselves in when they become sequels.
I felt that the plot was quite implausible, and I found it hard to take the film seriously.
And those messages left by the doll or the mini-tape players.....oh! purlease! Spare me your pathetic lectures on how each victim has wasted their life and 'deserves' their fate, unless they torture themselves to get free.
It seemed clear to me that the target audience was American teenage boys, who find the torture scenarios 'cool' and debate endlessly on whether or not the victims deserved their fate.
This film is not suspenseful, it's not very watchable, it doesn't grip hold of you, and there are moments when you think you're going to be sick by the horrible torture sometimes on display. In other words, it's just not Saw is it? Now that was a much better movie.
I advise fans of this series to watch this movie once, it's all you'll need.
And for those who've never seen any of the Saw movies, avoid this like the plague. You'll think all those people who rave about the Saw movies are sick morons, but really it's just the ones who rave about Saw 3 who are the sick morons! The hype has passed now, and it's time to judge this film properly. It's not very good. You get the picture.
