Saw III (2006)

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2011)

The Saw series continues to surprise me. Since they are churned out so quickly and written even faster, you'd expect these films to become more and more pathetic. However they don't, Saw III holds up along with the last two by keeping the same style and formula but furthering the story in terms of character. It isn't often we see good development of killers in horror movies. Mostly because more development means they lose some of their mystery and menace. However, with Saw, I feel understanding Jigsaw is part of the pleasure. This time a man must set aside his vengeance and forgive those responsible for his son's death. Mainly these films are about gore and this film has plenty of that, even some teeth grittingly painful moments. Brilliant gory entertainment for any night of the week.
