Saw 3D – Review!

Amazing traps. Amazing gore. Amazing closure.


For a SAW fan everything you want in a saw film is all present in the “final” chapter, yes even a few answers.

With what could be my favourite selection of traps out of all the films, we see more sick and twisted games in play with the gore we want to look away from, but just can’t and also some clever story line twists and great moments that will answer questions from all the previous movies, and provide a great closure to the series.

In particular to the traps, my favourite trap out of all the saw films was in Saw 3D and included Linkin Parks, Chester Bennington being glued to a seat of a car. It sounds simple, but its how himself and 3 other people in the same trap are linked together that makes the trap amazing.

It’s hard to review a film like Saw without ruining anything for those that have not seen it so I will keep details and spoilers to a minimum, but the storyline twists and turns throughout the whole film and the usual saw twist at the end is one that you will definitely remember.

The only thing in this movie that I wasn’t to sure on was the 3D factor? Filmed with 3D cameras instead of it being edited in post-production made me excited to see what the movie creators done with the new technology. However apart from a lot of body parts and blood flying at you and a few of the traps, it wasn’t as much of a WOW factor as I was expecting. The film didn’t really need to be 3D but that didn’t change the fact it was still a great Saw film.


Although I would love them to carry on, I think it’d be only right for the franchise to end it now before it turns from one of the best movie franchises ever, to a silly franchise like Friday 13th which has a total of 12 films. You can see how they may be able to make further films from the end of Saw 3D but for me that was a perfect ending to a great set of movies full of twists, turns and traps.

Saw 3D really does end the franchise on a high and if this is really the end, then what a way to end it.
