OH MY GOSSHHHH who knew this was coming!? Here are all my thoughts on the new Saw fillm.
*Apologies for the focus!
I was using a new mount to fix my awful car angles and it messed with my autofocus.
Or maybe I was just trying to give you 2000s vibes????
I would rerecord but wanted to use my actual reaction, hoping this just adds to the authenticity. Hopefully, you aren’t watching me on TV. I’ll fix this for next time - Quiet Place 2 !
Coolest 🧞♂️
Omg omg omg I need to watch a quite place II 😱 and I lmao about giving us 2000’s vibes hahahaahah
Def. we need a new list of movie recomendations hahahaahah they are never gonna be enough. So bad that this movie wasnt good :/ I’ve been in a bad (idk how to say it)... I been watching movies and doesnt like it even tho the good reviews... but oh well :/
I'm watching on my TV. 🤭
Sorry Meghan!
I love that you gave a shout out to Repo! The Genetic Opera. Such an underrated movie.
Love that movie.
Also like the Devil's Carnival flicks, shame we probably won't get the third :(
Love that movie
One of my favorites!
Omg!! I love that movie 😍
That laugh when you get into the car needs to be a meme 😂
The book of Saw sounds like a novelization series.
"Criminal Minds without Spencer Reid" I felt this to my core 😆
More spencer Reid!!!
@@spookyastronauts 1000% yes!! 😁
@@spookyastronauts isnt spelld reed not Reid that's what I think
Lmao the shifty eyes had me dying the entire time. I thought this movie was awk af, but I went into it with such low expectations that I couldn’t help but be amused. It was predictable and simple- but somehow still confusing all at the same time. I thought this movie was “fine.” But it’s def toward the bottom of my personal list of Saw movies. Great vid!
I think that the killer's motivations and chosen targets strikes a different chord for American audiences, since that's a very hot issue out here. Despite the cliches, I think Spiral benefited from not being cluttered with all the interconnected mystery of the main series that went nowhere. And I REALLY liked the ending.
Yay Dean! I feel like it's been ages since he's made a cameo. His beard just gets bigger and bigger!
I just saw this movie in the cinema and I loved it! Chris Rock's sense of humor was just the best and I really liked the social commentary. But yes I do agree sometimes it did get a bit cheesy 😂
I agree about Chris Rock! He brought great energy to the franchise and I hope they continue with him being the lead in any future sequels!
Chris Rock with social commentary? What are the chances?
Jazz hands for cheesy shifty eyes! Can’t wait to experience them for myself.
👀👀👀👀👀
Always fun seeing you get to watch movies in theater. Fun!!
I love that too!
How funny to see Dean with you - new Saw films are pretty much the only horror films I can get my partner to happily watch with me too! I think its a bit of a nostalgia thing as the first one was obviously so mind blowing at the time to us, as teens. Looking forward to this one, no matter if its good or bad!
Thanks very much for the review, Emma. I appreciate you giving us your thoughts, even if our expectations get lowered. I'll check out the film when it hits DVD rental, which is how I think I have seen all the Saw films. I rented "Jigsaw" recently to refresh my memory on the last film's ending, but I take it that Spiral is more of a stand-alone story.
I was under the impression that the first "Saw" was made in Australia. Not only did we have the horror team of James Wan & Leigh Whannel, but Cary Elwes starred in the film as well. You learn something new every day.
I'll be watching your vid later tonight, catching the movie in cinemas after work 👌🏽👌🏽
Enjoy!
I wanted Spiral to be this surprise hit film that no one was expecting to be good. I will still give it a watch but it’s really disappointing they weren’t able to do more for the franchise change up.
I want puzzles, horror and something clever that was worth bringing it back for...
Oh Australia, the country that got their sh*t together so quickly that covid isn’t even a thing and you can go to the theater. So jealous!
Yeah we have been very lucky
Spot on Emma! The flashback with the backwards cap put this film into "so bad it's good" status.
😂😂
Plus, Darren Lynn Bousman has also tried his hand at directing horror anthology TV with "Fear Itself", a 13-episode horror anthology where each famous horror director got their shot at directing an episode.
Think "Masters of Horror", but for network TV and JUST toeing the line between TV-14 and TV-MA.
Bousman directed the episode "New Year's Day", which had names like the late Cory Monteith (may he rest in peace) and J. LaRose (already a Bousman contemporary, being in both "Saw III" and "Repo!").
Oh, and featured the music of Charlie Clouser, who is also a contemporary of Bousman, scoring ALL the "Saw" films to date.
As someone that deeply enjoyed 2017’s Jigsaw and what it brought to the table with the franchise, I can confidently say this is the better “jumping on” point of the series. It doesn’t give away a whole bunch of crucial information about the prior 8 entries either than who the main antagonist was and that he’s dead.
Chris Rock genuinely surprised me in the film. Going off of the recent season of Fargo, he did a pretty decent job in there so it was refreshing to see someone like him exploring a different tone with a horror setting. I found his character of Zeke Banks to be one of the better Saw protagonists we’ve gotten in a while. Most of the other actors (Samuel L. Jackson, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, etc.) also did a pretty good job with what they’re given.
Overall, this was a decent watch for the series. Not the absolute best the franchise has to offer, but definitely watchable than most other entries.
My score - 7.9 or 8.1 / 10
You’re so right. I was hoping that with the change of title, bigger budget, and the unexpected casting of Rock and Jackson, this would somehow transcend the Saw movies... but this IS just another Saw movie, with all of the same issues.
And yes, shifty eyes was a thing. We know because, as you said, Bousman is obsessed with close-ups. 🙄
You're hilarious.😆 I love listening to you review films. You sound like you'd be fun to go see a movie with and then discuss & dissect it afterwards. I'm not a huge Saw fan. I love the first one, the 2nd one I enjoyed but thats about it. I was never really excited about Spiral, but after your review, I think I'll wait until its streaming to check it out. Thanks for a great review! 💙
I was born on Friday the 13th, which probably explains a lot...but pretty cool eh? 61 today! Not big on the Saw franch. It doesn't matter, I really like your spooky channel. And so does my partner, Dawn. We love so many of the horror movies you love. Just felt the need to share this with you. Probably cos I'm on the bubbly! Love all the way from the UK...Den & Dawn xx 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 American horror movies of the 70s, yaay! xx
I love these “come with me” videos especially when you show the cinemas you have.
Never stop these come with me series, love them
Nice review! Definitely agree with you about the Criminal Minds vibe. And the shifty eyes, now that you mention it haha.
I was so excited to go the movies! Loved Spiral! Great review!
When I saw the title I thought for a second that this was going to be a film adaptation of ' Uzumaki' by Junji Ito, which would've been genuinely exciting if done well, a second-rate saw knock-off came as quite a disappointment
I think theres a movie adaptation of Junji Itos work. Have you seen it? I havent, but I think thats in there
Same!!! And yes there is a Junji Ito collection of anime. I believe the live-action was a flop unfortunately. Both are incredibly hard to find.
I feel like Saw should have stopped at a trilogy.
Spiral is not part of the saw series
@@mecaa6780 it 100 percent is lmao
I feel like the Saw series should've stopped at the first movie, honestly. If the original writers weren't gonna make a sequel it should've been cut there
@@nickstigs9088 no it's a spin off same universe but a new series
I enjoyed the humor and smartelic remarks from Chris. I also enjoyed the flashbacks. I really think Darren and Chris have a love for the OG Saw films and wanted to pay homage to them and I really appreciated that. It was certainly better than Jigsaw.
I really enjoyed it. And I didn't mind the cheese at all.
Awwww nooo, what a shame! Might have to give this a miss and wait until it’s out on VOD. Appreciate your honest reaction as always. 🖤
Thanks Emma! I do hope you like it
Hey Emma, hope you are well and that Gromit is recovering well. I always love it when your reviews start with a laugh like that... it's like a RUclips eye roll 🤣
The film was supposed to be a different take on the series moving away from the gore fest to make it more cinematic to give a more live feel, this is why the filming was different
Bingo!! You're 100% correct and I like this new direction. I hope it continues.
hay i was more hyped by the ride to the theater and like you i didnt see any previews ok i saw a trailer but i dont want to know any thing and glad i watched this until you started to comet ... i have to wait until vod do to theaters around me are not opening soon and that the state of new jersey sucks
keep up the horror love iam loving your channel
I read somewhere that it'll likely be on VOD in June. This being the 3rd "meh" review from a trusted youtuber, I think I will just wait until then. COVID numbers are still not great where I live, so it sounds like a "not worth the risk" type of movie outing.
As a “Saw” fan, “Spiral: From the Book of Saw” is worth the hype after a year of waiting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #Spiral
I’m a fan of the franchise!
Well guess I don't have to rush my way through the Saw series anytime soon :') I'm probably okay with waiting for this to come on streaming (because yes, cinemas are opening here next week!). This one sounds so bizarre, so I'm definitely not raring to go with it haha. Thanks for keeping in your honest reaction despite the camera issues! :)
I'll still watch it not seen a Chris Rock movie in ages
Not since CB4? Well, this is Chris Rock's first serious role.
Just bought tickets for a screening tonight, hope it’s not a waste of time and money! First film I’m watching the cinema for over a year
So.. How was it?
I love you reviews! Your point of views are explained very well.
Thank you Ashley
I had already seen people that was saying that it was the best movie since the first one so i was not really expecting your review lol. However, you didn't lower my expections. i often have controversial opinions about horror movies (for example, when it comes to the Poltergeist franchise III is my favorite). I am still very excited to see this movie.
Love when you do these reviews! I'm hoping to be able to see this on Tuesday! It'll be first time in a movie theater in over a year.
Naw... I had high hopes for Swirly: The Gospel According to Jigsaw
I love those videos especially now when I am still waiting for the theatres to re-open around here... I was really excited for the new Saw movie, love that series, but I'm glad I lowered my expectations, maybe I'll like it, maybe not, but I don't wanna be disappointed :) Thanks for the doing those come with me reviews spoiler-free, it's a great format
I'm a massive fan of the Saw series. Our cinemas 'hopefully' open on 24th May in Ireland. I don't have high expectations and Chris Rock being on board kind of didn't inspire confidence in me.
I will look forward to looking out for shifty eyes though, lol.
Good to know what I’m in for, thanks 😊
I had no problems with the flashback as they added some backstory to characters involved in the film. I expected Chris Rock to throw in some comedy bits and he did an OK job in the role. Samuel L Jackson is Samuel L Jackson. My only problem with the film is the reveal of 'Jigsaw' as it lackluster and cliché. Love the traps in this one.
Thanks for setting my expectations! I haven't been clamoring for a new Saw movie, but I guess I'll take it.
Darren Lynn Bousman got his initial job directing Saw sequels because he pitched a movie that was too similar to the series..I have a weird feeling this is his original idea reworked through several people.
Oh wow cool fact! Thanks for sharing
Oh your comment about the shifty eyes was SO spot on, it was soap opera side eyes!
Thanks, Emma. I love that you are not bought and show your real opinion. Now, I'll go in without expectations. (:
I enjoyed Darren Lynn Bousman came back. But I'm also glad he didn't use the super chaotic camera tricks that plagued the series. It felt different bur similar. I think I enjoyed the idea of what they're going for. The execution was a little lacking. But overall I did enjoy it.
I enjoyed the film. I don’t have huge expectations for a Saw film and this was pretty much what I expected and did not think it was a huge departure from the other films.
SPoILER BELOW
One thing that was disappointing was once his parter borrowed his phone I had a good sense that it was going the way it did. They should have just cut that short scene.
Otherwise I’d give it a 7/10 over all. Good film.
I love that you avoid trailers! I do as well after feeling like trailers were showing me the whole movie.
I swear trailers were never this bad. I've been avoiding them like the plague for decades!
This movie wasn’t great. But I thought it was a good way to continue the Saw franchise in a new direction since the previous series grew thinner with each entry.
Please, even when you have 10 M followers, never change
Oh god people barely watch my videos as is! I don’t think you have anything to worry about 😂
@@spookyastronauts I believe in you, you make awesome sincere reviews and that is so important to me. I am so thankful for your channel. I had to assign a section of a notebook just because of your recommendations!
@@spookyastronauts stop it!! You are beyond amazing. I feel like RUclips's algorithm really sucks for horror channels. But you are at the top of them!!! I absolutely adore you, and love your channel so much!!!
I agree with you, I thought the movie itself wasn't terrible, but within the Saw universe/franchise it didn't fit well IMO. I wish the traps were more exciting & anxiety-inducing.
I'm gonna see it tomorrow! Chris Rock always has the shifty eyes lol I was kinda scared with him being in it so now I'm gonna notice the shifty eyes more 😅
Just got back from seeing it in the UK, had the whole cinema to myself which was nice too!
The only problems I had was that the traps were way too tame, how long have they been doing these movies for? I think they could have come up with better ideas for those scenes. It seemed to get a bit lost in the middle and was getting too confusing with the direction the film was going although I do have to say I was very impressed by the end and it could have been a lot worse, that's just my thoughts though, I thought it was a 6.5-7/10 but at the same time, I completely understand why some would give it a 4-5/10.
The thumbnail alone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Criminal minds:from the book of saw!
Very very well done, my eye sight is horrible but I didn’t notice any blur at all🤘🤘🤘
Haha I was wondering if pointing it out was a stupid thing to do
@@spookyastronauts naw Yolo! Or whatever the kids say these days!
Great review as usual. It left me with MUCH to be desired.
It was ment to be more a mystery police film like Seven but has some elements of Saw like traps and twists they mentioned that in interviews beforehand and in that way I think the film works as latter Saw films got too focus on the gore and not the mystery
Having seen this film does anyone else agree that the worst part was what they did to the theme song?
I walked out five minutes in.
Thanks for sharing this review
Im going to check this one out, although i dont have a lot of expectations, as i am not a massive Saw fan. Great review, Emma!
I was so happy to hear the name Repo! The Genetic Opera again 😍 I used to play the songs on repeat when it came out. I wish I had it on DVD or something, since I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can watch it again?
It's on Amazon Prime in th u.s.
i didn't love jigsaw but i did appreciate that it got rid of the 'super quick stutter cutting', and as soon as i saw that was back in the opening scene, i just thought 'oooohhhhh boy'
the fact that they didn't get a new director for this is baffling imo
Cinemas reopening in UK this week... Whoop whoop
The only thing I liked was the opening scene. I mind, I liked The Unholy more, that says a lot.
I love these initial reaction videos! Though nothing will top your one on Midsommar, this one was a lot of fun. Not sure if I'll see the movie as reviews are not that great.
It was filmed in Canada.
I laughed so loud @ “shifty eyes” He does that sooo much in other movies! 🤣🤣🤣
Last film I went to watch in the cinemas was the invisible man! Can’t wait for the cinemas to open again next week in the uk. I’ve missed the going so much! I’m just waiting for a quiet place part 2 in the beginning of June I think 👍🏻
I thought it was okay, the only issue was they didnt spend enough time on the trap scenes
The attempts at humour in this made me cringe so hard. And those scenes with Marisol Nichols and Chris Rock shouting and swearing at each other were so ridiculous and over the top. Thank God it got a little better towards the second half, I would've got up and left if it wasn't my first time back in the cinema post-lockdown 😂
It’s like if Michael Scott created a Saw movie
Oof. I burned out on the Saw series but I was really looking forward to this one. I’ll still see it I guess. But I don’t know, flashbacks have become a huge pet peeve of mine. Oh well. Thanks for the trip to the cinema! Tons of fun.
Can’t wait for this!!!
I just spam and say THIS IS MY 2ND FAVORITE SAW MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:55 2:55 2:55 2:55
Chris Rock jazz hands cheesy shifty eyes 😂😂😂😂
Chris Rock and Sam Jackson playing themselves ended up being the best part of this mess of a movie. Fresh personality? I’ll take it. But then, what’s up with all the yelling? Like THE WHOLE TIME!
That said, this is a perfect review. Bummer. I had super high hopes for Spiral.
Fun review, fun energy!
I'm seeing it this Friday! I'm actually excited for this, it's been my most anticipated horror film alongside Halloween Kills. Chris Rock is a fan of the series so I sorta have faith that this'll be good not to mention Darren Lynn Bousman is back, but let's see how it goes.
Hope you enjoy it!
We all SAW this one coming
😂😂😂
No offense but when Dean made a goofy face at the beginning of the video he looked like a fuzzy from Super Mario World! It's all I can think about now haha
I just watched this and.. I laughed every time the main character had "flashbacks" 🙊
Nice review. I am cautiously optimistic about seeing this one. When you first heard it was a Chris Rock project, I was, "say what now?". I love a good crime thriller, mystery though.
I just watched this film last night on demand and I really enjoyed it 7.5/10
Shifty eye shots i love that game 😂
I can't wait to go see it in the cinema!!
Thanks for sharing the review......i think i'll wait until I can stream this one on my TV 😀......
I loved this film
dean the bodyguard is back !!!
I was most excited to see your review I’ve been wanting and waiting to see yours
flashbacks work if the film is meant to feel anthological, like the first saw film. I also hate an over dependence on close ups. The wide angle shot when arriving at a scene is known as an establishing shot and is an absolute staple of creating narrative space - also, if you're paying a DoP, use them!!! Hehehe.
Super excited, love the saw movies (even if they're not great lol) and this is gonna be my first movie in theater since last January for Uncut Gems!
Thanks for the great review I'm glad you are very honest what did your partner think of the movie did he enjoy it 👍
He rated it lower than me 😂
@@spookyastronauts lol IL definitely watch it anyway thanks keep up the great work 👍
Honestly sounds like my mom and I will love it XD we do like cheesy horror movies as well as deep “good ones” so for a Saw movie XD
Great that you got to watch it !!
Thats funny cause teen Aussie YT reviewer Patrick Burow loved the shit out of it, I’d take your word for it over his
Everyone has different opinions, totally respect that 🤘🏼
