No disappointments!

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2006)

As a HUGE fan of the Saw series I counted down the days until this movie opened up in theaters. I've heard nothing but good things about it since then, and I can see why. A lot of the Saw I people were disappointed with Saw II. I actually liked Saw II better (the acting in Saw I was more gut-wrenching for me than the gore), and this movie proved to tie BOTH together into something everyone could appreciate. They did an excellent job researching what fans liked about these movies, and it truly feels like fans were delivered the best that could be offered.
What can I say without giving away anything? The pace is excellent, opening up with 2 gruesome traps to get the heart pumping, and non-stop suspense switching from situation, to situation. The traps were horrifying, disturbing, intense, and extreme... guaranteed nightmares! I find it incredible that the director can create sequences that provoke tension, anxiety, horror and terror without having to input senseless gore... the Saw series is impressive in this day and age of bad PG-13 horror movies (a-la-grudge), because the horror sequences aren't used to create the bear minimum of entertainment, they are used to dictate a great and CLEVER story. Saw III is carrying along a great series, keep em coming!
