Saw III (2006)

Jigsaw, the mad killer from the previous Saw films, is dying so he kidnaps a doctor to keep him alive, all the while continuing to play his sick games.
The first thing that struck me while I was watching this is that perhaps I'm getting too long in the tooth for this type of gore film. The gore here is as realistic as I've seen and very, very gruesome and it had me hiding behind my hands a couple of times, which I realise is what you may want for a horror film, but maybe not for that particular reason. So, anyway, veeeery gory in places. And thats about all it has going for it. The twists are weak and the film plods like a asthmatic, one-legged corpse inbetween set pieces. I'm perhaps being slightly over critical, it was watchable but highly unmemorable - apart from the gore. Can't shake that from my head at the moment.
