Saw III

[Megamanny]

Well, I'm going to a late night showing and this movie looks like it DOES aim to please.

I freaking loved the first one, really didn't admire the second one. But this one seems like it's pulling out all the stops!!!

Heck, I still don't even know the storyline about the third episode.

Anyone here possibly already seen it?

[Altoid27]

All I know is it revovles around two people this time, Jigsaw's backstory is fleshed out, and there is the practically required twist ending present.

Catching it at 11:30 tomorrow morning over lunch. Can't wait. It has to be better than part II...

[THD5%]

from what ive gathered, this ones really different setup-wise.

theres a main character, whos son died somehow, who is still not over it. he gets kidnapped, and wakes up in like, a farm business something place.

he has the option to save, or kill the people involved in his sons death, apparently.

this is just my guess from what ive seen/read, dont trust me 100% on it.

I can not wait to see this movie. The first two are some of the best suspense films in recent history in my opinion, and I'm sure the third will deliver. The plot you described sounds kinda awesome actually THD, and I'd love to have more of the Jigsaw thing shelled out. I'm guessing this will be the last one, so hopefully they'll tie it all up.

Lynn is told that she must keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff (Angus Macfayden), another of his victims, to complete a game of his own. Racing against the ticking clock of Jigsaw's own heartbeat, Lynn and Jeff struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware that Jigsaw and Amanda have a much bigger plan for both of them...

I am SO gonna see this movie when it comes out.

These movies are nothing more than pathetic attempts at making shock horror mainstream. They aren't good films, or enjoyable films, by any means, but I suppose that judging by their profits they are accomplishing what they have set out to do.

Also, didn't the second one come out last Halloween? They wrote a script, got together a cast and crew, filmed, edited, and were able to widely publicize a movie in less than a year?

:/

I don't really agree with your statement unfortunately. All types of movies have REALLY gone downhill and there are only a few that actually stand out.

Heck, I saw the texas chainsaw massacre prequel and it wasn't even that good. The saw movies have really stood out to me though as the story and action just mixed so well.

But anyway, back to the main point.

I just got back from seeing Saw III and oh my god was it such a great movie. I was in total suspense the entire time awaiting what was going to happen next.

Funny thing, there was a local radio station where I am at that was giving away what I believed was Saw III movie posters DURING the movie. But I didn't get one for some reason =\

One word of advice, don't eat before the movie, this movie is far gruesome then the others in my opinion.

I was eating my usual popcorn/coke/pickle combo during the first scene and I felt all of it almost come out of my mouth during that entire sequence.



How do hell do you add a spoiler tag?













































*Spoilers*

A few quick questions if anyone could possibly answer:

The first victim that Jeff encountered, was that just water and heavily cold air?

During jeff's encounter face to face with the drunk driver who killed his son, how the hell did he die? Was he just being twisted? I was kind of at a loss there because I really didn't understand what the contraption was doing to him.

And during that same part, the judge died so fast I didn't even get to see what happened. Jeff pulled the key from the string, the shotgun went off (even though the barrel was facing him) and it shot the judge instead?

So, at the entire end of the climatic scene, Jeff's daughter basically dies?

Thanks in advance.

See I agree and disagree with both of you. The first movie was really good. Took place nearly entirely in one room, was well made, genuinely original, and actually had a very cool twist ending.

This was the first "horror" movie I’ve seen in a long, long time that I enjoyed (and I like horror). Finally a horror movie where there are not 14 year olds without parents! (I can't stand going to anything besides rated R movies for this reason, the little shits are annoying)

The 2nd movie sucked an incredible amount of ass. It was a complete sell out, boring, illogical, and only meant to shock you through gore and not suspense/story.

I expect nothing more from the 3rd. Wow it only takes 1 year to make a major movie now? They keep coming out on Halloween by some strange coincidence? Hell I bet the 4th and 5th movies are already being filmed.

[Amp Divorax]

Given what happened in the ending I heavily doubt if there will be a 4th Saw film as they did wrap just about everything up.

[Axem Rangers]

I honestly can't remember the last good horror/suspense movie that came out... Maybe Land of the Dead? That was pretty okay. A bit too Hollywood-ish, and the blue colorscheme sucked, but it was pretty good nonetheless. Before that... Uhhh... Shaun of the Dead doesn't really count, so I have to go with 28 Days later. If only for the cinematography.

Also, everyone that just likes the movies because "z0mg good gore and stuff oh god it's sooooooooo realistic" needs to go see Mermaid In A Manhole. Like, right now.

Shaun of the Dead

It counts

That or I’ll show them some crime scene photos along with some autopsy photos? I had a good one of a man who was killed by a train. There was this one suicide in a garage that comes to mind? The burn victims are the worst.

These gore loving people just bug me. Those who actually see gore realize that its not "oh wow cooool!!!11" (Personal rant yay!)

[Megamanny]

Is it just me, or are the people that post on the forums on imdb.com just preteens are total retards?

I was reading on some of the saw 3 threads and most people were like "OMFG I KNEW THE TWIST AT THE END BEFORE THE MOVIE EVEN STARTED" or " SAW 4 GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN"?

Are these people just stupid? Because I would kill them all if given the chance to. Are they actually trying to figure out what is going to happen next and not watch or get into the movie?

Because when I want to watch a movie, I don't think about what is going to happen next. I get into the scene going currently at the moment.

[mappyman]

cant wait to see it! i heard it had to be sent back to the MPAA SEVEN times to achieve an "R" rating. and i guess jigsaw did survive as he's in the imdb credits as Tobin Bell. maybe its just flashbacks?

new SAW every year, perfectly around halloween. i really hope this series doesnt get stale.

[red shoe paul]

Ok, so the movie IMO was amazing. Until the end. Fuck, everything seemed so perfect and ready to release another. They had the Saw 4 domain bought for the longest time and now it's just blank. There might be a new one, who knows, I would like it if it stopped at 3 though.
