SAW 3 (DVD Review) - 5/2/07

I won't go into the whys or wherefores for some of the scenes in "Saw 3" which I found gratuitous as it seems unnecessary (Much like the added gore content) to the actual versatility of this film series. This installment jumps back and forth with flashes from the first two films - filling in some much needed detail to the saga as a whole. The American Region 1 (USA) DVD is a marvellous Unrated Edition with a nice tight selection of Special Features. Interesting that already having churned this film out work has begun on "Saw 4" which should feature Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) presumably in flashback status or on video footage having already set off another game at the end of film three. The style of the case covers continues with a plastic printed outer sleeve looking through a blank case onto a saw blade placed on the DVD. The Special Features cover "The Traps Of Saw 3" & "The Props Of Saw 3" with small featurettes on both backstage. We get a further behind-the-scenes look with the Director's on set thoughts in "Darren's Diary". Two Commentaries and Deleted Scenes plus Theatrical Trailers and Coming Soon Adverts.
