26 Facts About Saw 3D

Saw 3D is a 2010 American 3D horror film directed by Kevin Greutert and written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan.

Sequel 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 3D was scheduled to be released in the United States on October 22,2010, by Lionsgate, but was pushed back a week from its original release date of October 22,2010, to October 29,2010; it was released a day earlier in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Saw 3D captures Bobby Dagen, a self-help guru who achieved fame and fortune by falsifying a story of his own survival from a Jigsaw trap.

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 3D VII was the final installment and would address unanswered questions from previous Saw 3D films, such as the fate of the first film's protagonist Dr Lawrence Gordon and other Jigsaw survivors from previous films, while bringing a final resolution to the series.

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.

Saw 3D 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.

The Saw 3D soundtrack is "inspired by the film" and features music from rock bands including Dir En Grey, Boom Boom Satellites, Saliva, Krokus, Hinder, Karnivool, My Darkest Days, and Chester Bennington's Dead by Sunrise.

Saw 3D was distributed theatrically by Lionsgate in the United States and through Maple Pictures in Canada.

Saw 3D 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".

Saw 3D 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".

Saw 3D admitted that the performances have become "painfully stilted" and called the script "a jumble of nothing punctuated by barely-trying death traps".

Saw 3D went on to say, "It's 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".

Saw 3D thought Greutert gave the film a "pulpy energy" and described the film's traps and gore as having an "unpretentious sensibility" to films by Herschell Gordon Lewis.

Saw 3D implied that the "shock scenarios" were borrowed from sources such as, A Man Called Horse and the work of Lucio Fulci.
