The first two ‘Saw’ films in 2004 and
2005 were nothing short of groundbreaking,
changing the horror genre
for a new generation of film-goers.
Inevitably, the franchise lost its way
through six more films, though 2017’s
‘Jigsaw’ did seem to get things back on
the right track.
‘Spiral’ is a fresh take on the concept,
but probably the closest to the
shock and awe of the first two films
– though it ultimately falls short of
delivering the same level of thrills,
especially when it comes to the traps
the franchise is best known for. They
come across as unimaginative and are
rushed through too quickly.
The premise is pretty simple – Detective
Zeke Banks (Chris Rock) and
his new partner (Max Minghella) get
the case of a bizarre death involving a
cop and a train, quickly learning that
there’s a Jigsaw copycat in their midst.
They race to track down the trickster
and understand his motives before
more people are killed.
There’s some great clues left along
the way and depending on how tuned
in to the ‘Saw’ world you are, you may
manage to guess the surprise ending
before it lands.
If you don’t, and you manage a
‘didn’t see that coming’ take-away
from the flick, you’ll probably enjoy it
a tad more than most.
