“The little things make Saw III”
– Darren Lynn Bousman
After years of interviewing Saw II and Saw III director Darren Lynn Bousman, finally we get to do it for SuicideGirls. I have been a fan of all the Saw films since I saw the first one in preparation for my interview with co-writer/director James Wan. I had no inkling that this gory little horror flick would change the face of American horror and put us into this torture porn cycle that we are still in three years later.
The Saw films have always gotten a lot of shit from the online press but it is hard to argue with a franchise that has grossed nearly $400 million worldwide. Bousman is the director of the two Saw sequels and Saw III is truly the one that ties them all together. With Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw and Shawnee Smith’s Amanda now front and center, the audience gets to really feel the precarious mental state of the serial killers and maybe even can sympathize with them. With Jigsaw on his last legs due to cancer, Amanda has taken over the task of testing their captives and pushing them to their limits. I got a chance to talk with Bousman about the new unrated Saw III DVD.
