Just as good as *Saw II*. This one has the most interesting characters in comparison to the previous two. Amanda was the best part, I like what they did with her and great interactions with Jigsaw. Jeff going through these trials was pure horror on an emotional level, so depressing. Lynn was unlikable in the beginning but she eventually redeemed herself.

Once again the kills and the gore were top notch. Forget what I said about the needles in *Saw II* being the most terrifying scene in the franchise, the drill scene and The Rack are even worse! Holy shit! I looked away a few times.

The third act and twists are good on paper but the execution could have been better, there's just too much back and forth, slow motion, over-explaining and they keep recaping stuff that happened minutes ago. It gets frustrating. It ends on a cliffhanger, seriously?

**Traps Ranked** (worst way to die order):

[spoiler]1. *The Rack* - that's the worst in the franchise yet! Atrocious pain
2. *The Drill Operation* - not really a trap but it's the hardest sequence to watch. At least there was painkillers
3. *Freezer Room* - I hate cold, that looked awful
4. *Classroom Trap* - he had a ring in his jaw! I wouldn't be able to pull that one out
5. *Angel Trap* - hurts like hell but you die almost instantly
6. *Pig Vat* - yuck! Can't imagine drowning in that stuff
7. *Shotgun Collar* - you die instantly[/spoiler]
