Saw III Synopsis

"Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet..."

Jigsaw is dying, and he's saved the most shocking game for last...

Two years ago, the psychotic mastermind terrified audiences around the world in SAW, ensnaring his victims in unspeakably gruesome games. In 2005, SAW II continued Jigsaw's saga, establishing the SAW franchise as one of the most successful - and talked about - horror series of recent years. Now, Darren Lynn Bousman, the director of SAW II, returns to the helm of SAW III, a new chapter that promises to trump its predecessors in scares and intensity - and give fans an even closer look at Jigsaw's dark world.

With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), Jigsaw, the puppet-master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police, has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) are unaware that they are about to become the latest pawns on his vicious chessboard.

One night, after finishing a shift at her hospital, Lynn is kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse where she meets Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), bedridden and on the verge of death. She is told that she must keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff (Angus Macfayden), another of his victims, to complete a game of his own. Racing against the ticking clock of Jigsaw's own heartbeat, Lynn and Jeff struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware that he has a much bigger plan for both of them...

This Halloween, from Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate comes the most psychologically intense and disturbing chapter in this horror franchise. SAW III stars Shawnee Smith and Tobin Bell. The film is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II), with story by franchise originators Leigh Whannell and James Wan (Saw, Saw II) and screenplay by Whannell.
