saw3
While the horror genre has declined rapidly in the past ten years, there has been one particular franchise that still seems to gather my attention - and that is the Saw series. The works have been a massive success - both critically (well, that all depends) and especially commercially. The trilogy has proved to be Lionsgate's centerpiece - three films made on the small buck, which pull out cash cow B.O. returns. But there's more to Saw than its gratuitous exploration of blood and human entrails, and that's makes Saw 3 such a pleasure to watch. There's always the sneaking suspicion the audience gets watching the stories and games unfold, but before you know it, we've had any earlier thoughts erased by an explosive finish. Saw 3 goes beyond the games, and examines relationships between characters - with Jigsaw, his twisted accomplice Amanda, and their subjects. The viewer is brought on a vicious trip that changes the series as we know it, and any horror fan will find something to enjoy about the film.
