Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) becomes a pawn in the Jigsaw Killer's (Tobin Bell) latest gory game. Kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse, she finds Jigsaw bedridden and dying. Her task is to keep the maniac alive long enough for Jeff (Angus Macfadyen), a fellow victim, to complete his own task. Each is unaware that Jigsaw has much bigger -- and deadlier -- plans in store.

Critics Consensus

Saw III does little beyond repeating its predecessor's tropes on a gorier level.

Jordan Crucchiola New York Magazine/Vulture The third movie doesn't go over the edge, but it does start to feel like John is setting his subjects up to fail, and the game shouldn't be rigged quite so hard if he really wants people to walk the path of redemption. Oct 27, 2017 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Staying mostly faithful to the successful blueprint of its two earlier installments, Saw III is an adequate sequel that works well enough on its own terms. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO One of the most sadistic, brutal, grisly films of the current splatter-porn genre. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review How can Jigsaw possibly think he or his undertaking has achieved anything with such a low success rate? He would do better by looking at the numbers, realizing he's doing more harm than good, and trying a new approach. I wish these films would do the same Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth Saw III neatly concludes the original trilogy of films while providing an off-ramp for the ridiculous glut of sequels to follow. Rated: 3.5/5 May 20, 2021 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News I don't have a problem with uncomfortable violence if it comes in a film that's at least remotely entertaining, which this movie is not. This installment is lazy, coasting on everything that made the first two films so popular. Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

James B While It does kill off it's main character it answers all questions of the previous films and raises some more. The traps are better than ever and has extraordinary acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Emil P Definitely not one of the best movies in the franchise. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Dean E Watched this movie so much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Noelle S I love this film. While it's not the greatest Saw film, I've seen it a bunch but it doesn't get worse no matter how frequently you see it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Thomasfilms Productions R A disappointing finale to the John Kramer trilogy Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Amanda’s traps are impossible Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
