As if it were in honor of tradition, Saw III hit the screens just as Halloween approached. While skeptics thought it would not by far live up to its two prior films (Saw and Saw II), many fans can testify that Saw III proved to be even more sadistically delightful than previously anticipated. In a discussion about the latest release of Saw III, LaCheryl Whitlow and David Butler of The Panther share their wicked reviews.LaCheryl: In all honesty, I missed the first five minutes of the movie (chuckles).
David: Aww, man! You know this movie is legendary for its crazy intros!
LaCheryl: Enlighten me, Mr. Butler, without telling the movie of course.
David: Basically, the way Saw II ended is the way Saw III began. You know, with the detective getting locked in the cell by the Jigsaw’s protg.
LaCheryl: I think that it’s pretty awesome how the movie kind of rewrites everything you thought you had seen in Saw and Saw II. I remember thinking how many people are going to be amazed to see a whole new story line up.
David: Yeah, I think that’s going to be a new trend for these guys. In all three movies, you can watch the whole movie and still miss something small that will replay at the end.
LaCheryl: Do you think that the producers re-wrote the previous two films in Saw III because they wanted to give longevity to what could possibly be a series of films such as horror movie classics like Halloween, Jason, and Friday the 13th?
David: Yeah, you could say that. With the insane traps Jigsaw comes up with, I wouldn’t dare think that could fit into one movie.
LaCheryl: I would definitely have to say so, too, because I’ve always felt that there was no possible way that Jigsaw …the great (that’s what I personally like to refer to him as) could have come up with such vicious brilliance alone.
David: I guess. (laughs) Looks like someone’s into hooded old men with brain tumors!
David: You know I’m just kidding, but I would have to say, if I ever woke up in one of those situations, I would have to just go back to sleep on that!
LaCheryl: (laughs) David, you have no sense! I take it you liked the movie, but wouldn’t dare want to be caught in a dirty bathroom with a chain on your ankle?
David: It doesn’t matter. chain or no chain. I’m not having that!
LaCheryl: I bet you wouldn’t! Do you think there will be a Saw IV?
David: Of course I do. You saw the movie, and the last two. You already know how this is supposed to go.
LaCheryl: Yeah, but don’t you think a trilogy is enough?
David: That’s true, but think about it, at the end of the movie, you know you got that feeling. You know, the one where you almost wished you were in the movie.
LaCheryl: David, I think you would be the only one thinking of anything close to that!
David: Ha ha, very funny. We’ll with all the plot twists and unexpected scenarios this flick has come up with, I can say for us all I wouldn’t mind sharing some of that Hollywood money because Saw isn’t going anywhere for awhile.
LaCheryl: Well I can agree with you on that one. Then you use some of that money so we can see Hostal 3 when it comes out.
