SAW III

Saw III was released in October of 2006 and was directed by Darren Bousman.. In my opinion I loved the start of this film. This is where we saw the Angel Trap. Here Kerry wakes up and finds herself  suspended in the air with a device around her ribcage. The key to unlock the device is inside a beaker filled with acid. She does get the key, however the device detonates ripping the flesh away from her ribcage. I loved the angel trap. I think it may be one of my all time favorites. Next Jeff and Lynn are kidnapped and Lynn is brought before Jigsaw. We find out that Amanda is working for Jigsaw and was behind the game in this film. Lynn is ordered to keep John alive until Jeff finishes his game. If, however she doesn't keep John alive or tries to escape, a device around her neck will detonate five shotgun shells that are pointed at her head. Jeff then awakens to find himself in the plant where he is instructed to complete several test. Then he will get to confront the man who is responsible for the death of him and Lynn's child. 

In Jeff's first test, Jeff enters a freezer and finds a lady who refused to testify in court and was the only other witness to Jeff's sons death. The lady was stripped naked and bound between two bars that are spraying ice water on her periodically. She begs Jeff to help her in which he gives in and tries to do so. The special effects in this scene were great. I really liked the part where Jeff tries to retrieve the key and his face touches the metal bar and as he pulls away it slowly tears the flesh from his face. When he returns with the key it is too late and the lady is frozen solid. In the second test he finds a man tied in the bottom of a large vat. He then discovers that this man is the judge who only gave the man responsible for Jeff's sons death six months in prison. As Jeff is faced with the decision to burn all of his sons belongings in order to get the key to release the man from the vat, the vat is filling with dead rotting ground up pigs. After the vat is filling and the judge is covered ,Jeff burns the toys and retrieves the key. He then gets inside the vat and releases the judge.

While Jeff is going through his game Lynn and Amanda are working to operate on John to relieve pressure inside his scull from the result of the frontal lobe tumor.During the surgery, John starts talking about another woman that he loves. Amanda gets upset thinking he is talking about Lynn. Amanda then leaves the room to go check on Jeff's game. While Lynn and John talk alone Lynn tells John how she has a new appreciation for her family. In Jeff''s next test he is faced with Timothy Young. The man who killed Jeff's son. Here Timothy was placed in "The RACK" This device was attached to all of Timothy's limbs and would begin to twist until every bone is broken. In order for Jeff to help him he must retrieve a key that is located n a glass box with a string attaching it to the trigger of a shotgun. Jeff does retrieve the key, however the judge is killed in the process when the shotgun accidentally goes off. When Jeff returns to free Timothy he is to late and the rack had already broken Timothy's neck.


When Jeff returns to the room where they are working on Jigsaw. He sees Amanda shoot and kill Lynn. Jeff then shoots Amanda. John then reveals to Amanda that she was actually being tested and not Lynn. Amanda then dies from her wounds. John then gives Jeff his final game. He tells Jeff, that if he will forgive him for all the pain he has caused his family that he will call for an ambulance for Lynn. This is where Jeff snaps, grabs a circular saw and slashes Johns throat. Then the door seals the room and Jigsaw plays a tape recorder telling Jeff that he failed the game, by killing John who was the only person who knows the whereabouts of Jeff's daughter. Now Jeff will have to play another game to try and find Corbet before she runs out of air. As John dies the collar on Lynn detonates and Jeff is sealed inside the room with the three of them.

I really liked this film in the series. I thought the games were good and that the plot was easy to follow. The effects were some of the best. Reason I say that is due to the Angel Trap and the Freezer woman. The way the ice formed on her it just looked so real. I like the film all the way through. The acting was excellent just like every film in the series. I do think they killed John Kramer to early in the series. It also leaves you wandering where is Corbett. It also made me realize that Hoffman was involved in the first few scenes. Reason being, that the Angel trap as well as the man attached to the chains by the rings were inescapable and this is never Jigsaw's methods.Over all I liked this film. Watch it yourself and please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts, with me here on..The Jigsaw Diaries.
