SAW 3 Film Review - 30/11/06

Having seen the first 2 installments of this series I had heard this part of the franchise was extremely gory - Well that's a bit of an understatement! Starting off from the end of the first sequel we get a character hacking off their foot with a ceramic toilet lid then snapping it off and when it got to the bit with the power drill and bone-saw hacking into the lead actor's skull that was the point when I closed my eyes before I puked - It was that graphic. The story is excellent and is a very good sequel to the other two - But I felt that a lot of the violence did not actually enhance the story and was just thrown in for good measure. Not only do we get some clever twists and turns we also get a lot of back plot that ties up a lot of loose ends and adds to the overall picture of the three films as a whole. Having watched "Saw 2" on DVD when it first came out I was amazed that they had already announced filming on "Saw 3" and so nearly a year or so later it has arrived but like a lot of things several surprise revelations keep you guessing to the end - Or is it?
