First, a disclaimer: My movie reviews are full of spoilers. So read it only if you have already seen the movie!

If you are interested in knowing how brain surgery can be done in your garage, Saw III is the movie for you. Want to test the efficiency of headache pills? Watch this movie!

I am a hardcore fan of horror movies. But I am getting bored by the increased gore and blood in the recent horror movies(Saw, Hostel etc.). Saw III is a perfect example of wasting a good plot line on unnecessary scenes such as the long brain surgery in a workshop.

It was long time since I picked up any movie. So with lot of expectation, I watched Saw III today and I am yet to recover completely from the experience. I give it an average rating. Here is a quick review.

Good : Unexpected plot twists and thank god! Jigsaw is dead

Bad : Too much flash back and the whole thing is getting repetitive.

Ugly : Too much blood, gore and surgery details.

If you plan to watch Saw III or already seen Saw III, I recommend you to see first two movies (Saw I and Saw II). Saw III actually connects everything together and should ideally be the last movie in the series. But it appears that Saw IV is already in production and we may see it in 2007 itself!

Saw III starts where Saw II ended. You see detective Eric making the inevitable decision of cutting his foot off. Then there is another game, but this time victim has no chance of escape. That makes Saw III different from other two films. The games are no longer perfect and it appears after all Jigsaw is only human(sigh!)

There is another interesting thing I noticed. The movie reminds me of rooms in Doom 3! They all look  like the ones rendered by John Carmack. There is a scene in which a judge (with his tie on) is tied to the bottom of a container and he shouts “I am a criminal judge, get me out of here”. Only scene where I laughed.

I enjoyed the main plot which is an “exploration of our desire for revenge”. There are numerous plot twists that takes you by surprise! In the end I think I was more surprised than Amanda

My rating : 5 out of 10, which means watch it if you got a holiday and there is nothing else to do!

PS:- Next movie in my list is Borat.
