Synopsis
In SAW 3D, the seventh chapter, a deadly battle rages over Jigsaw’s brutal legacy. A group of Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) survivors gathers to seek the support of self-help guru, and fellow survivor, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery). Soon though, the survivors really must help themselves as Dagen’s dark secrets unleash a new wave of terror...
The SAW franchise; once more sets an industry record by being the first theatrical feature to be shot exclusively on the cutting-edge SI-3D digital camera system. SAW 3D brings the horrifying games of Jigsaw to life like never before, psychologically testing the viewer as Jigsaw does his victims. By adding another sensory dimension to the already overwhelming experience of viewing any SAW film, SAW 3D truly pushes the boundaries.
“What the fuck is going on? Where am I?”
Those words, uttered two minutes into 2004’s SAW, express the primal emotions " the hopeless confusion, the awful sense of powerlessness and sheer, panic-stricken terror " that lie at the heart of Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ SAW franchise; emotions that are a key to its phenomenal success.
The SAW films follow the machinations of Jigsaw, a terminally ill cancer patient with an exacting moral agenda and a genius for gruesome games of survival, “played” with those he believes have ceased to value and appreciate the gift of life. The approach of Halloween each October has brought a new SAW title, replete with gruesomely inventive traps and tantalizing clues about Jigsaw’s master plan.
Now, seven years after Jigsaw introduced himself to the world, the final pieces of his puzzle will fall into place in the last of this SAW series, SAW 3D.
SAW 3D is the first theatrical feature to be shot exclusively on the cutting-edge SI-3D digital camera system, which allows for the extremely close, fast shooting style that is a SAW hallmark. It includes the most traps of any SAW film, eleven; and even answers a question raised back in SAW: what happened to Dr. Gordon, last seen crawling away (minus one foot) from Jigsaw’s subterranean chamber of horrors?
