Saw 3D is a 2010 3D horror film directed by Kevin Greutert, written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flanery and Cary Elwes. It is the seventh and final installment of the Saw film series, and the first and only film in the series to be shot in 3D.

An eighth installment was planned, but the decrease in the box office performance for Saw VI compared to previous installments led to Saw 3D being the final planned film in the series, and the plot concept for Saw VIII being incorporated into Saw 3D. Saw V director David Hackl was to direct the film, but two weeks before filming Lionsgate announced that Greutert, who directed the sixth film, would direct. Principal photography took place in Toronto from February to April 2010 and was shot with the SI-3D digital camera system, as opposed to shooting with traditional cameras and later transferring to 3D in post-production.

Saw 3D was originally scheduled to be released on October 22, 2010, but was pushed back a week to October 29, 2010, in the United States and Canada; it was released a day earlier in the United Kingdom and Australia. The film was initially rated NC-17 (no children 17 and under admitted) by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and had to be edited and re-submitted six times to finally receive an R rating. In Australia the film received an R18+ rating despite all the previous installments all having an MA15+ for their theatrical release. Upon release, the film received largely negative reviews from critics.

Plot

This plot summary is currently experiencing a high level of editing activity. Details are being changed frequently at this time. Editors may wish to consider contributing to other aspects of the article such as production or reception.

In a flashback sequence following the first Saw film, Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) crawls from the bathroom to find help. Along the way, he reaches a hot pipe and uses it to cauterize the wound on his leg. The next scene cuts to a crowd of people gathering around a storefront window in an urban shopping area where they watch two men, Ryan (Jon Cor) and Brad (Sebastian Pigott), tied to a worktable. There is a buzz saw in front of them, and their mutual lover, Kara (Anne Lee Greene), is suspended above. They decide to save themselves and allow her to lower onto the buzz saw, killing her.

After witnessing Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) surviving the end of Saw VI, Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) goes to Matt Gibson (Chad Donella) of Police internal affairs and exposes Hoffman in exchange for police protection and immunity. Hoffman, meanwhile, continues his work, killing four racist skinheads in a trap in an abandoned junkyard's garage and abducting Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery), a self-help guru who achieved fame and fortune by falsely claiming to have survived a Jigsaw trap. As the police investigate the junkyard and search for Dagen, Hoffman sends Gibson videos offering to stop the games if they turn Jill over to him.

When Dagen wakes up he finds himself in an abandoned insane asylum and is informed that his wife Joyce (Gina Holden) has also been abducted and that if he does not reach her in time she will be killed. Dagen navigates his way through the asylum, finding his publicist Nina (Naomi Snieckus), his lawyer Suzanne (Rebecca Marshall) and his close friend Cale (Dean Armstrong) all in traps; despite Dagen's efforts to save them, all three are killed. The police manage to discover and raid the asylum, but are unable to reach either of the Dagens and are killed by toxic gas.

Meanwhile, Gibson finds Hoffman's command center in the junkyard and discovers he had hacked the police security camera system. An automatic turret gun then activates, killing Gibson and his men. Hoffman, posing as one of the corpses from the garage trap, infiltrates police headquarters and kills several officers and staff before finally reaching Jill. After a brief scuffle, he ties her up and puts her into the original reverse beartrap, which kills her. When Bobby Dagen reaches Joyce, he is forced to attach two hooks to his chest, the same trap he claimed to have survived, and pull himself up toward the ceiling by the Pectoral muscles in his chest to deactivate the trap his wife is in. He fails, with the hooks ripping through his skin, and a Brazen bull is constructed around Joyce which burns her to death as he watches in horror.

After Hoffman destroys his workshop, he is attacked and abducted by three Pighead-masked figures, the leader of the three being Lawrence Gordon. Flashbacks reveal that John Kramer (Tobin Bell) helped Gordon recover after he escaped the bathroom and Gordon had worked as his accomplice for surgical resources ever since. Tasked by John to make sure nothing happened to Jill, and to take action otherwise, Gordon shackles Hoffman in the bathroom from the first film, taking away the hacksaw he used to cut off his foot and locking Hoffman away to die.

Production

Development

Variety reported in July 2009 that Lionsgate greenlit Saw VII and announced David Hackl would return to direct, his last film being Saw V. Producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules, and writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan also returned. Brian Gedge replaced series' cinematographer David Armstrong. Pre-production began on September 14, 2009. According to Melton, there were plans to title the movie Saw: Endgame. Originally two sequels were planned after the sixth, but in December 2009 Melton stated in a podcast interview with the UK radio station Demon FM that Saw VII was the final installment and would address unanswered questions from previous Saw films, such as the fate of the first film's protagonist Dr. Gordon and other Jigsaw survivors from previous films, while bringing a final resolution to the series. The storyline for a Saw VIII was combined into Saw VII; this decision was primarily due to Saw VI's poor box office performance. On July 22, 2010 in an interview with USA Today the producers confirmed that Saw VII will officially end the film series. Burg told Reuters that, "In every Saw movie, we left questions open and in Saw VII we answer every question the audience has ever had". He added that, "even new viewers will be able to follow and get caught up to speed".

In January 2010, Kevin Greutert, who made his directorial debut with the sixth film, was about to begin work on Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2 when Twisted Pictures suddenly dismissed Hackl and forced Greutert on the project by exercising a "contractual clause" in his contract, much to Greutert's dismay. When Greutert arrived on set two weeks before filming began, he performed a "compressive re-write" of the script. Melton explained that, "He has a lot of ideas, but it’s a bit hard and extreme to implement all of these ideas because sets have been built, people have been cast, props have been bought or created, and with the Saw films they are so specific in set design because of the traps. It becomes very problematic and difficult to change things a whole bunch right in the middle of it".

Casting

Casting began in mid-December 2009. On February 22, 2010, Cary Elwes was listed on the Toronto Film & Television's official list of personnel website for Saw 3D but on March 8 his name along with other cast members were removed from the list. The following month, Lionsgate confirmed his reprisal of the role of Lawrence Gordon, last seen in the first film. Dunstan and Melton said that Elwes was on set and filmed new scenes. It was announced on March 3 that Chad Donella would appear in the film as Internal Affairs Detective Gibson, who was also Hoffman's former partner. Despite being new to the series, it was quoted that "You certainly won't forget Chad in Saw 3D."

Gabby West, who won the second season of Scream Queens, plays Kara in the film. She told VH1, "They molded my entire face, and basically my entire upper body after my belly button. They put layers and layers of different materials on you and you have two straws in your nose so you can breathe. It was so scary! They put so much of it on, you cant see and they put it in your ears so you can barely hear anything. That was part of the prep for the film, which was really cool, to have a dummy made of yourself. But scary." Chester Bennington, the lead vocalist of the alternative rock band Linkin Park, has a role in the film playing a skinhead. Bennington met with an acting coach to prepare for his role. He said, "It was actually a little more difficult than I expected because it took a lot for me to figure out how to portray this guy and what exactly his motives were going to be throughout. I thought maybe I was overthinking it, and I met with this really great acting coach who helped me walk through and make sense of the, 'Motivation'." Devon Bostick was offered to reprise his role as Brent from Saw VI, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts.

Filming in 3D

Saw 3D was shot entirely in RealD 3D using the SI-3D digital camera system; rather than filming on set traditionally and later transferring the footage to 3D. The sets and traps were redesigned to take advantage of this. Before choosing 3D, Burg and others viewed a minute of the original Saw film rendered in 3D and were pleased, which led to them choosing 3D for the seventh film. The budget for each of the previous films never reached over US$11 million, but with the cost of filming in 3D, Greutert said that Saw 3D is the "most expensive Saw film to date", estimating around $17 million. Principal photography began in Toronto on February 8, 2010, while filming of some "trap" scenes started on March 8, and wrapped on April 12, 2010.

When determining the style of 3D shooting they wanted to use, Burg felt that the audience would want several moments where objects move into the audience, comparing this to My Bloody Valentine 3D. He acknowledged that this method would be used, but expressed an interest in shooting from the victim's perspective, similar to that of first-person shooter video games being rendered in 3D. Dunstan added that "It adds a whole new layer of discipline and criteria to creating these moments. We've had a very flat surface to try to get a reaction out of you. Now, we get to push out a bit and envelop the viewer, still maintaining the patterns that have worked and been successful, but also to raise it up a notch."

Commenting on the change to filming in 3D, Bell stated it would not affect his performance or methods of acting, noting that it would be an "interesting experience". Mandylor called the 3D shoot "more tedious and longer". Flannery described the 3D aspect as being " shot in 3D so that you can, per se, see blood coming directly at you. It's in 3D for the texture and the depth, for the architecture, to get a sense that you're in the scene but there's no 'we want to see blood coming at the lens' it's nothing like that. But I think we made a good movie."

Producer Oren Koules told horror news website ShockTilYouDrop.com that there are eleven traps in the film, the most ever in the franchise. There is one "trap" scene in the film that producers would not allow in previous Saw films that they described as "too violent", "too disgusting", and "just wrong". In a later interview, Melton called it the "Garage Trap" which involves a car and sets off a "chain reaction" with other characters involved.

Soundtrack

The Saw 3D soundtrack is "inspired by the film" and features exclusive and unreleased music from rock bands including Dir En Grey, Boom Boom Satellites, Saliva, Krokus, Hinder, Karnivool and Chester Bennington's Dead By Sunrise. It was released through SonyMusic Independent Network (SIN) and Artists Addiction Records on October 26, 2010. Template:Cleanup-tracklist

Track listing

Promotion and release

On July 8, 2010, in some press materials for San Diego Comic-Con, the film was referred to as Saw 3D: The Traps Come Alive, which led to the media assuming it was the final name. The following day, Burg and Koules said that "The Traps Come Alive" was simply a tagline that had been misinterpreted as part of the title. Koules said that if they included the seventh roman numeral followed by "3D" (Saw VII 3D), it would have been "cumbersome" and not made the impact they wanted. He explained, "It was such a process in 3D, so much hard work was put in. Saw VII 3D is too much. This is like a new movie. "

In the same interview, the producers addressed Saw's presence at Comic-Con 2010 in San Diego. They said that the footage that was going to be used for the convention could not get approved for the audience; Koules explained, "It's going to be different than what we've done before, we're going to be at Comic-Con but we're not in Comic-Con"." The Comic-Con teaser trailer was released via IGN on July 22, 2010. The next day of the convention, the first eight minutes of the film were screened for the press and a few fans.

Saw 3D was distributed theatrically by Lionsgate in the United States and through Maple Pictures in Canada. The film was originally scheduled to be released on October 22, 2010, but in July 2010 was pushed back to October 29. It also had preview screenings on October 28, 2010 in 2,000 locations. Since the release of Saw IV, each film has been released a day earlier in Australia and New Zealand; Saw 3D continued the tradition in Australia, though the New Zealand release has been put off until March 2011. The film was initially rated NC-17 (no children 17 and under admitted) by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and had to be edited and re-submitted six times to secure an R rating. In Australia, the Australian Classification Board gave a heavy R18+ (restricted to 18 and over) for "high impact violence, blood and gore", whereas all previous Saw films were rated either MA or MA15+. Burg said in an interview on Bloomberg Television that the DVD will only be released in the 2D version.

Reception

Box office

Saw 3D had preview screenings on October 28, 2010 in 2,000 locations and made $1.7 million. It opened in wide release the following day in 2,808 locations playing on 3,500 screens, the second smallest release behind the first Saw; it earned $9,015,000—$3,210 per theater and placed first ahead of Paranormal Activity 2. It grossed $22,500,000—$8,013 per theater its opening Halloween weekend, with 92% of tickets coming from more than 2,100 3D-equipped locations. The film has grossed $24,200,000 in the United States and Canada.

Critical response

As with the previous four Saw films, Saw 3D was not screened in advance for critics. The film received largely negative reviews from film critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 8% of 37 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 2.8 out of 10. Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 0-100 from film critics, gives the film a rating score of 23, based on 16 reviews.

Luke Thompson of E! Online gave the film a "B". He called the film's gore "over-the-top" and "in your face" while admitting the film had an "unusual amount of self-parody". He said the central storyline of the films was beginning to feel "played out". Rob Nelson of Variety gave the film a negative review. He called the film "relentlessly repugnant" that would please fans, but offer no surprise. He went on to say, "Apart from these limb-pulling setpieces, tech credits appear fairly shoddy, as do any 3D effects that don't include flying viscera. The editing relies on lazy flashbacks, while the dialogue remains as horrific as the killings." Kim Newman of Empire gave the film two out of five stars, calling it a "a step down from last year’s much more pointed Saw VI". He criticized the repetition of the plot but thought bringing back Jigsaw survivors was a "nice idea". He closed his review with, "There are a scattering of infallibly cringe-making horrors, but on the whole Saw 3D could do with more depth".

Eric Goldman of IGN Movies gave the film two out of five stars. He was unhappy with the little screen time Bell and Elwes had been given, saying that the time the film did spend with them, didn't have much impact. He said the traps were a step down from Saw VI, but did point out his favorite and highlight of the film as the "garage trap". About the film's 3D effects, Goldman said "The 3D is used as you might expect it to be - which is to say, this is no James Cameron immersive experience. Instead, blades jut out of the screen, and there is some fun had with blood and guts literally shooting forward at several points". Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review. He said Saw 3D is "consistent both stylistically and thematically with previous editions", but said most of the film's traps lack the "Rube Goldberg-style cleverness that marked the series". Scheck went on to say that it was "unfortunate" the creators killed Bell's character so early in the series and called Mandylor's character (Hoffman) an "exceedingly bland stand-in". He called the visual impact of the 3D "negligible".

Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel gave the film one out of five stars saying, "It’s all bunk and has been for years. These are all no-win scenarios. Whatever moral lessons were presented in the earliest Saw films seem to have been dispensed with as the movies grow more and more gruesome, with filmmakers caught up in 'What would it look like if somebody’s jaw was ripped out, or their skin was glued to a car seat?' Pandering to the 'Cool, let’s see that again' crowd has made Lionsgate rich but done nothing for this unendurable endurance contest of this long-enduring film franchise". Mike Hale of The New York Times called the film the most "straightforward" of the series and the "most consistently (though not inventively) violent". He ended his review saying, "If you see the film in a theater equipped with RealD 3D and Dolby sound, you’ll come away with a pretty good idea of what it would feel like to have flying body parts hit you in the face".

Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News gave the film one out five stars. She criticized the lack of Bell's screentime saying, "What the filmmakers of the last four Saw movies have somehow overlooked is that Tobin Bell's Jigsaw is the linchpin of these films. It's right there in the title, so you'd think they'd realize what they lost when they killed him off in Saw III. But it's been downhill ever since, and we hit bottom today". She admitted that the performances have become "painfully stilted" and called the script "a jumble of nothing punctuated by barely-trying death traps". She went on to say, "It's also disappointing to watch a once-original franchise morph into a generic slasher series, in which random people are killed in banal ways just to up the body count" and closed her review with, "No matter how much money The Final Chapter makes over Halloween weekend, it's time to acknowledge that this game is over". Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe called the film the "most gruesome and least coherent of the seven movies". He felt that some of the film's "games" were just randomly forced into the film, saying that kind of "episodic approach" and 3D works for a "far more innovative series like Jackass". Morris closed his review by saying "This alleged final edition trashes the perverse morality of legacy to make him the Jerry Springer of gore".
