Saw III

HorrorThrillerCrime

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman

Jigsaw has disappeared. Along with his new apprentice Amanda, the puppet-master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon and Jeff Reinhart are unaware that they are about to become the latest pawns on his vicious chessboard. From TMDB

    The moderation settings also block "engagement farming" which I define as "doing the Flynn Rider Threatened By Swords" meme or posting things like "without saying Saw III, name a movie" but I'm sure this website defines it as "I'm literally about to be evicted could you please help"

    Saw III. I have a specific thing for the film in the series where the direction team just decided to stop trying to make clever films with a horror twist and decided to cash in on putting absurd contraptions on tape.

    "Saw III" (2006) was an ok entry in the series. The deepening of the lore and the tie ins with Amanda to the first film were fun. Little twist at the end, of course. But, for fuck's sake. How convoluted and confusing can a plot become? Then, again: how about that "rack" scene 😳 5/10 snowballs ⚪️

    I watched Saw III last night. What a perfect movie when you treat it as the finale it was intended to be. It's not just Amanda's final test, it's John's. He bets everything on this final test. If it succeeds, his methods work. But they don't, because they don't, and everyone dies as a result.
