“Saw III” cuts to the bone

Andrea Brown

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, “Saw III” picks up with Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) on his deathbed, yet the gruesome deaths have not stopped. We watch as top doctor, Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfayden) play Jigsaw’s dangerous game of life and death. They are fighting for more than their own lives this time.

Much like the two preceding movies, “Saw III” is not for the faint of heart. There are plenty of gruesome scenes of death in which the methods of murder are of the “creative” sort. Advice for those with not so strong stomachs: don’t eat before watching. Even with the strong walls that line my stomach, I was victim to the occasional dry heave.

I was slightly disturbed by the couple of questions that the movie left me asking, but that just adds to the greatness of the movie. Bousman did what any good artist does; he left me begging for more.

I was sad to hear that this may be the final Saw movie to come out. But I was given a little hope with online rumors of there being a Saw IV that will serve as a prequel to the first movie. I can’t wait until the official word is out.

For those that have no yet seen both of the other Saw movies, I say, “Go rent them, have a movie night with your significant other, and make it a date to see “Saw III.” It’s well worth the money.
