Saw 3
Saw 3 was, of course compared to the first two, not actually too bad. When comparing it to classic horror films such as The Fly, Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Shining, I think it will be easy to see that Saw 3 will not go in the record books as being a classic by any means. Although it may never become a classic horror film, I do think that it is important to take it as it is, incredibly creepy.
As it was in the first two Saw movies, everything that happens in this one could possible happen in real life. The reality horror genre movies have never been incredibly popular due to a lack of creativity, but Saw 3 brings a lot of intricately produced scenarios, as well as very realistic ways of making a person die painfully/horribly. By far the most gruesome death in the movie (of course from my perspective) is a scene where our protagonist walks into a freezer, and chained in the middle of the freezer is a young woman clad in the classic horror movie attire, nude. When given his directive, the protagonist must then choose to harm himself to save her, or to let her die, either way he is going to live so the choice is totally up to him. The way that she is going to be killed is by being sprayed at about 10 second intervals with ice cold water. The idea is that the water will start to freeze to her body and she will die. Well, after our protagonist tries his hardest to help her, she becomes completely encased in at least 2 inches thick of ice. He can't unlock the chains because they're frozen, and she is surely dead.
Now to tell you the truth, that is probably the least gruesome part of the movie, but the creepiness of it is off the scales. To give this movie an overall rating would be most divine, but to properly get a feel of this movie, it must be watched at least once. To tell you the truth, Saw 3 will not go into my collection of "Favourite Movies", or even my random DVD collection, but it is definitely worth spending $3 to rent and watch once. Just be sure not to let the graphicness (because it is more bloody than the first two Saw movies combined) melt your soul from the inside out... Overall Rating: 6.5/10

Thank you for participating in my very first movie review ever. Please continue to look for random movie reviews periodically, or at least until I figure out a system (such as weekly, or bi-weekly). Thank you again for your comments and your honesty.
