3.5/5
"
Saw III
may not be the scariest, or most successful horror film ever made, but if you're looking for your pound of fright fan flesh, you'll get a nice craven corpse-full with this shockingly sick flick."
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
D-
"If it's Halloween, it must be
Saw.
And if it's
Saw,
it must be God awful."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"A movie of its moment even as it borrows from so many that have come before,
Saw III
conjures all manner of torments, displayed for you as they are for its virtuoso showman."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"The third
Saw
in the franchise loses its edge."

3/4
"...if ever there was a movie that warranted a "not for the squeamish" advisory, this is certainly it."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
3/4
"Quite a nifty and superb thriller ... thought out with precision and executed with irresistible macabre flair."

Dustin Putman
B-
"Is it an enjoyable feel-bad film? I guess. Is 'enjoyable' even the right word?"

Eric D. Snider
1.5/4
"...getting dangerously close to turning the mangled bloody body business into tedious and tripe titillation...the Jigsaw chaotic chronicles have run its corrosive course"
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
D
"Extremely dull in every sense. Even the most devoted fan won't find much to enjoy in this grab-bag of tired cliches and inept tricks."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Like an herbal blend of grand guignol and gothic horror, Saw isn't everyone's cup of tea."
Light Views
John Larsen
2/5
"full review in Greek"
Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
3.5/4.0
"The makers... demonstrate a genuine integrity for their series by reigning the story back in to its original core elements... Fans of
Saw
will not be disappointed."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
3/5
"If you don't know by now what you're getting into when you see a movie from the
Saw
series, you deserve to be offended."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
2.5/4
"The emphasis on character is a welcome change, but the principle of diminishing returns still holds."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
D
"
Saw III
is essentially a grim schoolyard game of 'would you rather...?' rendered in nasty vignettes."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
2/4
"Peddles gruesomeness of a disgusting rather than frightening order."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"Call this franchise 'Chicken Soup for the Soulless.'"
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
1/5
"Starts with an interesting premise but quickly squanders it on the usual barely-glimpsed bloodbaths."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
F
"Face your fears. A lesson worthy of praise, if the film preaching them weren't so completely full of ****."
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
3.5/5
"There's a reason that this series has exploded at the box office while other sequels wither on the vine -- and it's not just because of the perpetually rusty torture devices."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
1/10
"Nihilistic, amoral, self-congratulatory wanking."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
0.5/4
"A stomach-churning gore-a-thon pandering to viewers' basest appetites for violence,
Saw III
is a repellent piece of schlock that manages to disgust and bore you, often simultaneously."
