“Saw 3D – The Final Chapter,” may be the end game for Jigsaw. Or it may not, but the 3D element takes gore to a new level.This horror film series began with a bang with the release of “Saw” that caused audiences to crave more of this new type of extremely gory yet clever horror.
“Saw II” was released for Halloween 2006, and “Saw III” came a year later. What audiences did not know was that these films would continue year after year for seven years straight. This year it’s “Saw 3D – The Final Chapter.”
Yes, it’s a 3D technology movie with a $15 ticket price. You can also see it in 2D for $10.
The 3D version makes the gore a lot more gruesome. The plot continues the ending scene in “Saw VI” and revolves around a number of Jigsaw survivors from the previous films who seek help and sanctuary from the gruesome life-changing test that they were made to endure.
They encounter a self-help therapist known as Bobby (Sean Patrick Flannery, “The Boondock Saints”). He has become famous by writing a book about his experience winning a Jigsaw game.
However, Bobby may not be who he portrays himself to be.
He is in line to suffer the consequences of Jigsaw’s legacy, which has been passed down to Detective Hoffman in prior films.
The film ends with its usual slap in the face when everything is explained, creating a more satisfying ending to the series than the ending of the sixth film.
The only problem is that there is a lot of empty space between the entertaining commencement of the film and the climatic ending, including some of the worst acting in the series, especially in Chad Donella’s portrayal of Detective Gibson.
Not much can be expected from the seventh installment of a horror film series though, but as long as there are fans and the film is making money, the series may not have an expiration date.
Similar to the sixth film, “Saw 3D” is supposed to be the last Saw.
However, is this true or will the legacy of the famous serial killer Jigsaw, played by Tobin Bell for almost a decade, live on? Or to quote Jigsaw, is it “Game Over”?
