very nice of hoffman to design his traps with 3D photography in mind
Is it just me of this movie feels like a p*rn parody? Maybe it's the acting, or the pink blood, I don't know. Anyway, worst movie of the series.
The only trap that made my stomach turn around was the one were Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery) has to pull on a tiny cord with a fish hook and a key at the end, sticking out of Nina's (Naomi Snieckus) mouth. The key is all the way down in her intestines. Bobby has to pull that key out to safe her. Somehow that trap got to me. Never thought that would happen.
Anyway, in Saw 3D we see that they try to bring everything together and finish of all the loose ends. We see old faces, new faces, brutal traps, a little bit of Tobin Bell, Chester Bennington screaming as he is glued to his car seat, still miss him! A public SAW trap which was awesome. And loads and loads of blood.
It might not be groundbreaking, and every saw is basically about the traps (Except for the first one). But I enjoy this franchise. The first Saw is special, the rest are entertaining. I wonder how the reboot by Chris Rock will be. I wonder what kind of direction it'll take. Well I can only wait to find out!
“Remarkable... if not a little perverse."
I watched all 6 movies just to see what happens in this and I have to say I am disappointed. The flashbacks of the previous movies come around to bite this one in the ass. Jigsaw, how dare you die in the third film and leave us with these weak villains.
The final chapter of the series, Saw 3D is a nonsensical and gratuitous horror film. After failing to kill Hoffman, Jill Tuck seeks police protection; meanwhile Hoffman sets up one final Jigsaw trap for a motivational speaker who’s been lying about being a Jigsaw survivor. Cary Elwes’ much publicized return proves to be underwhelming, and none of the performances are really that good. The traps are also rather unremarkable, and don’t have the same kinds of stakes or challenges that those of the past have had. Additionally, the special effects are really cheesy and the gore is cartoonish. Going for cheap scares, Saw 3D is a disappointing conclusion to a seminal horror series.
Do you like these movies? You should be OK with this one.
Finally finishing out the series for my 31 Days Of Horror - hoping that they stick the landing...
Just after Part VI delivers another strong outing and a potentially solid conclusion to both the second trilogy and the series at large, Part VII comes back in as a clear cash grab and the worst of the whole series so far. It relies almost entirely on the blood and loose story to carry it until its runtime. It’s almost an entirely not needed entry, but here we are. I’ve still seen it 5-10 times and I’ll never skip it. Understand that my review here is the lowest of the franchise but bias is still bringing it way up.
Rating: 2/5 - 65% - Not Recommended to Everyone
The seventh Saw movie is the low point of the series for me so far. This is mainly due to the 3D effect, which has no added value here and, in the end, also ensures that the 2D version is unbelievably ugly. The blood is not red, but rather pink. On top of that, the camera work is really lousy this time. You can't expect much from the actors in "Saw" anyway. Costas Mandylor and Betsy Russell are as bad as they were in the previous film, and Cary Elwes likewise disappoints. This time, even Tobin Bell contributes nothing to the plot. The traps in "Saw 3D" are equally tedious, resulting in a highly unpleasant viewing experience.
Worth it for getting to see Adam and Lawrence again:broken_heart:
Everything looked fake as fuck omg love it
2-bit 3D effects, Dollar Store sets and a dime store storyline make this undeniable money grab look cheap.
The game plotline is pointless, the police storyline devolves into generic slasherism, the twist at the end is silly and fanservicey, and the opening trap is the worst of the series.
A cluttered mess.

Wow, what a difference to the rest of the series. Honestly, what was the point to all this?
If you let Hoffman die in the last film, or maybe even let it be ambiguous, that would've been a perfect ending. You could've even have weaved Dr. Gordon into that one for a twist but honestly...this was drivel.
The only good scenes in this were the opening trap and Chester Bennington's cameo. The rest was the most pointless thing I've seen...There was barely a story. The main game was boring as everyone was insufferable anyway.
Just a poor show.
