Spiral: From the Book of Saw

About This Movie

Spiral: From the Book of Saw dives into a gritty, atmospheric world that feels both familiar and fresh within the franchise's legacy. You’ve got Detective Zeke Banks, played by Chris Rock, who brings a different energy to the typical cop role, and his rookie partner navigating a series of gruesome murders that harken back to the Jigsaw killer’s legacy. The tension builds nicely, with pacing that keeps you engaged without feeling dragged out. I appreciate the blend of practical effects that gives it that raw feel, and the cinematography really captures a grim urban landscape. The themes of betrayal and legacy are woven throughout, giving it depth beyond just the gore. This one stands apart, even if it’s still steeped in Saw lore.
