Saw III (2006)

After being left in the bathroom to die in the previous film, Detective Eric Matthews breaks his foot with a toilet lid to escape his shackle. Six months later, the aftermath of a Jigsaw game is discovered by Officer Rigg's SWAT team. The victim, Troy, had to rip chains from his body to escape a bomb. Detective Kerry points out that the room's exit was welded shut, breaking Jigsaw's modus operandi of giving his victims a chance to survive. While reviewing the videotape, Kerry is abducted and awakens in a harness hooked into her ribs. She retrieves the key from a beaker of acid as instructed, but the lock does not open and the trap inevitably kills her.

What Saw 3 is about is revenge. A father who is consumed by nothing else and only seeks out to get it. Jigsaw plays by the rules and promises freedom when you win the game. It's a great movie and helps fill in the holes from previous Saw movies. It's well acted, well shot. The suffering and screaming is frightening, I wouldn't want to endure any of the games. But I understand why. It's a franchise of horror, violence that justifys the direction throughout. I never saw the twist at the end and like the other Saw movies, it's just as memorable. Get sucked in, get involved with the people you see on the screen and understand why Jigsaw does what he does.
