I wish they could make a SAW movie in an alternative universe where Jigsaw is alive or even a tv series while Tobin Bell is still interested in this character.
Totally agree with you... The editing and camera work really made it obvious who the killer was, like, 10 minutes into the movie, but I too enjoyed it.
I really liked spiral. Chris Rock didn’t overdo it with the comedy, I actually think Sam Jackson had the funniest part in the movie. I wasnt expecting an Adam Sandler Uncut Gems performance. Star of the show is, THE VISUAL EFFECTS, my god, gore effects are starting to look super realistic.
Wow I thought the EXACT same thing about Chris Rock in the trailers, I was like "wow. This looks terrible and he's speaking really cheesey.." and then I actually watched it and his character was WAY better than they made him out to be, that was a pleasant surprise
My favorite review of Spiral, I felt like this is a good spinoff to the original trilogy of Saw after Jigsaw died. Also the biggest clue to who was behind the traps was *SPOILERS* when they didnt completely show Chris Rock's partner trap/death they just cut away from it. That ending is what won me over for this film plus the underlying message with the current situation with the police. All I can say is I wonder what they have plannned for a sequel (if they make one)
1. Saw 2. Saw V 3. Spiral 4. Saw II 5. Saw IV 6. Saw III 7. Jigsaw 8. Saw VI 9. Saw VII I know some are unpopular but I enjoyed most of these films. I really enjoyed Spiral, I hope we get sequel
Cody my man you love the word FLAVOR don't you? 🤣 TBH I don't always agree with your reviews but I love watching them. You do a job analyzing everything & your videos are very creative & well made. I recommend you to movie fans all the time. Keep up the good work man!
As a huge fan of the Saw movies I agree with you about the twist. As soon as we got that first flashback I guess it in my head and was spot on. That said I really enjoyed it and was one of the best of the series for me. I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Jigsaw and..... Final Chapter.. fuck that movie. Also if the Saw franchise continues, id love if it became an anthology series with more movies like this one that are completely separate from the original series.
Damn, I was expecting you to rip this apart like others are. Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too. But then again, I'm one of those die hard Saw fans. Lol
It’s just an odd movie for fans. I’m also a die hard Saw fan and think this is actually one of the worst entires but it’s great seeing love for it too!
For me, it's a welcome change of pace. I can see it not being for everyone, but then again this is the Saw franchise so I'm kind of used to saying that. Really hope we get a director's cut. I keep hearing about pacing issues, maybe that will help fill in some of the problems. Plus, word has it a trap was shot and edited yet got removed for being "to gnarly". I'm insanely curious what the mind behind shit like drowning in rotten pig guts and a operation table designed to twist your limbs and neck full circle would deem "to gnarly".
Saw this last night and really, really loved it. Not close to being my favorite in the series, and I have a few nitpicks, but I’m so glad to see another Saw flick. It’s my favorite thriller series. I think it’s some of the best cop film ever made (when it comes to series), even though they can be really cheaply made. I think Rock needed different lines, sometimes, because he doesn’t always work here, but I still liked him and Jackson in their roles. I was also extremely relieved of how great the traps were, and how much throwing-off I experienced throughout the film.
I quite enjoyed this; it wasn’t perfect but they did a pretty damn good job of making an entertaining movie. I usually put my thoughts but you pretty much nailed them. I really liked how they incorporated the “flashy” editing from the first movie again without being over the top. And it was pretty freaking cool hearing that original score again.
Agreed, dude! I totally thought it was the police chief (the sexy female lol). Because the modified voice in the traps sounded exactly like her, with the pitch dropped. I’d love to know if they got her to record those lines. It doesn’t sound like a man with a modification. Kept me on my toes-between the chief, the one female cop thats in half the movie and then vanished (probably killed off, in a deleted scene), and the blonde wife of the dead cop at the interview. The director really threw me off with all of that.
I think that this could spawn some kind of anthology series tbh, imagine if every future movie had a different spiral killer with their own motive, traps and iconography that was inspired by Jigsaw.
Thank you for an honest review, Cody. I went in expecting to hate this flick, but I can't. It was well done. There are some glaring editing issues, especially with the timeline, but it is probably the best looking Saw flick to date. I also had a small problem with Chris Rock's casting (Yes, I understand that he is the reason this movie was made, and the character was written with him in mind.) It just seemed like in every scene he was in it was a buildup to a joke that didn't have a punchline. Total comedy blueballs. All in all, I enjoyed the film for the most part, but the twist was not really a twist, as you said. Anyway, I've rambled enough. Fun flick, and I'll definitely check it out again when it goes to VOD.
The direction and editing was worth the laughs. When he's rescuing his coworker from the 'totally normal glass recycling machine'; he's in a panic trying to use the key. He could easily block the flying glass with the garbage can. Then cut to see his dead coworker and immediately his heart rate is back to resting. And I'm sorry but CR is the least intimidating looking dude so that hallway sequence at end 🤣🤣
Great review, I totally agree with how if you see subtle hints you know who the killer is about 1hr into the movie. I think from watching all the Saw movies you know which subtle clues remember.
Not surprised. It takes skill and talent to turn a small budget into a great film (John Carpenter's most movies like The Thing, Vincenzo Natali's Cube and Splice, the original: Saw, Evil Dead, Child's Play, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc).
@@thebest12700 depends whos reviews your talking about. Seems like most actual fans reviews are positive,while the critics reviews are mostly negative. But after looking back at the reviews the "professional critics" did on all the other saw movies, they seemed to hate them all. Some even admit in the review they never cared for the saw movies.
I mean dude it’s a Saw film, critics are never gonna like it. The first one got below a 60%. It’s not Citizen Kane, you know? It doesn’t take much to make a Saw film that fans of the series will consider to be genuinely awesome. I’m excited to see it now actually.
Nice review Cody, your reviews always entertain, you are a master of your craft sir. Can't wait see your Hellraiser reviews, I'm one of a few who enjoyed Bloodlines, 1-3 great but 5-10 i think there be a few "fuck this movie" rants.
I'm glad to see you liked it Cody. I'm a big fan of the franchise, I can't wait to check it out. Unfortunately none of the theatres in my city, Toronto, are open right now...ughhhhhh
I agree with you about the reveal of who 'Jigsaw' is Cody. It was a bit lackluster and I saw it coming about 20 minutes into the film. I thought Chris Rock was OK, but the traps were inventive, bloody and gory. Nuff said!
12:50 Nice "Saw" Twist! Can’t wait for the following new 10 to review. Maybe after I suggest you to do the Final Destination reviews and for Holidays, Silent Night Deadly Night.
I loved this movie! This is a very nice entry to the series. The only reason I watched it because Chris Rock came up with the idea for the story and how Samuel L Jackson was also in it. And I l feel like when I went to see it yesterday, me and my friends had no idea it was his partner who was jigsaw until the end. We thought it was a total different cop. Overall I loved the development and backstory.
Nice review, Cody! I really liked the production design too and thought overall this film introduced a nice blend of old and new. Though I totally agree with you on the big reveal - I was surprised by just how much it was telegraphed.
Saw 10 and Tv Series Are Already in the Works From Twisted Pictures and Liongate If this film huge hit Then Darren will probably do Leprechaun Direct sequel brings back the original killer.
Great review Cody! This was personally my least favorite saw movie for a couple of reasons. Traps: I thought that the traps never really had a chance to breath. With the the way the movie was edited, it felt like we were in a trap and then boom the person was dead super quick. Even though the traps were unique, I thought they still were lacking on the Gore, and none of them really had that good Money Shot. Twist: I also predicted the twist not too far into the movie like you did, which was due to a choice they made in the movie about how they portrayed the “death” of a character. Plot: While I enjoyed the plot to an extent, I felt as if the characters were just going wherever the killer was leading them, and not really figuring anything out for themselves. Also, the ending felt like it didn’t have any punch too it, wasn’t deserving of the awesome main theme song. Conclusion: I feel as if this movie alienates both audiences. It’s not SAW enough for the loyal fanatics, while also being too SAW for the casual movie goer. Just a few thoughts about the movie I had, great review as always Cody.
This was way better then I expected. Don't know where it would go in my ranking, I havent seen the other movies in years. But I think it would be in my top 3-4.
Awesome review. I didn’t like it as much as you did but you brought up some great points that made me wanna view it again sometime in the future and see if I’ll like it more on second viewing. I myself was underwhelmed by the 3rd act and saw it all coming. And while the villain definitely had a better motive than jigsaw, they are nowhere near as memorable as Tobin bell. But I do appreciate the original mystery feel it brought back and I do think they can potentially build something better from here.
Yeahhhhhh!!!!!! I'm beyond hyped for hellraiser and resident evil reviews! I love cody, heraiser and res. So like I'm excited for all of the videos to come. I never thought the end of a review video would get me so excited. Well done sir. And remember no tears. It's a waste of good suffering.
Now I want a Shane Black written Saw movie... For real though, he really has a way of showing injuries that really makes you feel em. And a very dark sense of humour. Both things the series could use
SPOILERS Man the second they showed the skinned body but didn't actually show the kill scene I instantly knew who was the killer. When the reveal finally happened I was shaking my head cus the movie thought it was so clever
I like it enough, but nobody was going to survive those traps. They'd all bleed out minutes after they escaped. But the b ending was what saved it for me. The music really got my hyped.
Same thoughts as you. Only thing I didn't like that you didn't mention was the ending. For me, it didn't really make sense. SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING Did the swat team really not see that Sam Jackson was propped up with wires and being forced to raise the gun? Those wires were real thick, I think you'd be able to see them. Also, did they not see Shkenk in the elevator? Were they not listening to Chris screaming and pointing? Just didn't make sense to me. Really liked the movie though.
Seeing this tomorrow can't wait & Cody actually not wanting to gouge his eyes out confirms it. Loved the Hellraiser punch. I haven't seen a single film in the franchise & don't want to so. You are the only reason I'll know anything about it lol
Only review I'll watch cause I know you won't spoil anything as I'm struggling to find an open cinema thats playing Spiral. Glad to hear its on the positive end of this franchise after that trailer and wonder if it'll beat out my favourite film. Awesome review Cody as always! Keep up the great work and content 😄
I went last night to go see it in theaters I enjoyed had good time with it the twist at end of the movie I saw coming from a mile away it definitely is enjoyable like you said really enjoyed your review of the series I enjoy your content you are awesome bud
I loved this film. Better production values, better plot concept, better acting than pretty much all the other films. Only the original wins out for plot concept. People are mad about Rock's "jokes" falling flat at the beginning, or being out of place, and I think that's on them. They can't get the image of Chris Rock, Comedian, out of their head, so when they see and hear him making jokes they automatically compare it to his actual comedic work. No, those jokes were supposed to be bad. They were only meant to elicit a few chuckles by being poorly timed in relation to the set and setting of the film. And when the actual plot kicks off, those comedic lines are gone. There's no tone-switch, the film is what it is. It's people's preconceived ideas that are ruining the film.
I have spiral ranked number 6 in the franchise. I enjoyed it but the ending ruined it for me. I’m still looking forward to future of the franchise and hope that in the end I can enjoy this ending.
.I just bought Walmart Exclusive Saw 9 Film Collection on DVD It's also on (Blu-ray) I just watch Spiral today it's a awesome chapter to the saw movies.
Just came back from the theater and honestly I absolutely LOVED this film I mean it's a very strong entire in the franchise and WAYYY better than jigsaw in my opinion 😊
According to director Darren Lynn Bousman, a trap consisting of someone getting their face cut off had to be cut from the film in order for it to receive an R rating from the MPAA. Chris Rock is a fan of the "Saw" franchise and pitched the idea to Lionsgate. As a result, they made him one of the lead actors, a co-writer, and executive producer. The first film in the series not to be released in October In order to secure an R rating, the film had to be submitted to the MPAA 11 times. All other attempts resulted in a rating of NC-17. The first "Saw" film to not utilize the annual October Blood Drive with advertised poster models. Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that Detective Drury originally had a bigger role and a "horrific death scene", but they cut it out for being "too much". Marisol Nichols' second horror film, following "Scream 2" (1997). This is the third film in the franchise where the phrase "Game Over" is not used; the other films that do not include the phrase are "Saw V" (2008) and "Jigsaw" (2017). William Schenk marks the fourth Jigsaw Killer that had a family member killed. It is revealed that John Kramer lost his son, Gideon, in "Saw IV" (2007); Mark Hoffman lost his sister, Angelina, in "Saw V" (2008); and Logan Nelson lost his wife, Christine, in "Jigsaw" (2017). Even though a photo of Tobin Bell is shown in the film, the actor did not receive any credit. Is the second film in the series to be framed at 2.35:1. The first film to be framed in 2.35:1 was Jigsaw (2017). Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that he was very angry during the finger-skinning sequence, knowing that they lost so much of it to the whims of the MPAA. "You saw every finger break, every bone pop, every knuckle snap." Darren Lynn Bousman wanted a subway tunnel, but he was told the logistics just weren't in the budget. He held his ground, and they eventually built a subway tunnel set to meet their needs. It's a tiny set that uses forced perspective to make things look bigger than they are The previous working title was "The Organ Donor". According to Chris Rock, two films that were the inspiration for this film are "Seven" (1995) and "48 Hrs." (1982). Chris Rock's first horror film.
I hope Charlie Clouser’s score is still in this movie. I’ve always thought his score was one of the best Ive ever heard in a movie ever since I first heard it in the original Saw film. Jaw dropping twist music!
This has given me more confidence in the film after I started to doubt these past few weeks, thank you for that. Also I'm wondering when the ranking of the Saw films will be, I am curious how'd you rank near the middle as I feel that's the toughest place of any Saw ranking.
I agree minus no trap was beatable where in Saw people had a chance... All the traps you were going to die even if you did what was supposedly the payment for sins.
To be honest, I wa t to see more Saw movies from the detectives point of view, itd be interesting if we mostly only see the aftermath of the traps and the detectives have to piece any piece of information they can get a hold of to track down the Jigsaw killer. Kinda similar to Seven, but instead of the deadly sins its morally corrupted traps, like they figure out people who would want to do this to the person so on and so on
This movie was great, better than the last few sequels. Just don't understand why it couldn't be called Jigsaw 2/Saw 9? Not sure why they couldn't use the original voice and puppet either? Don't know how many books Saw has. Hope we get a Spiral 2 though. Better than Cruella imo.
I have not seen this yet but I want to see it & I am the kind of person who hates knowing the plotline or killer at the beginning or in the middle of the film because I feel like it ruins it for me & there are so many films I know who the killer was from the beginning of the films

I wish they could make a SAW movie in an alternative universe where Jigsaw is alive or even a tv series while Tobin Bell is still interested in this character.
You got your wish, set photos with Tobin just came out. The next film he's the protagonist. Excited to see Saw X next October.

I saw it coming from the first trailer....these movies can't fool me lol. But damn it was good
It was pretty cool to see Chris Rock & Samuel L Jackson in a Saw movie, even though Chris Rock sometimes overacted.
Overreacted.... yet didn't react to his the glass! He looked like Chris RockCandy!
@@malicenwonderlNS just curious but did you see this review? ruclips.net/video/cf3Fp8cCLms/видео.html
Just sometimes? Lol
When I saw the trailer I even knew who the killer was. He’s always playing the secret bad guy. Ex: horns
Love the ending of this review looking forward for the hellraiser series review
Now entering the puzzle box
And after the hellraiser series review I hope he reviews the wishmaster series
I really liked spiral. Chris Rock didn’t overdo it with the comedy, I actually think Sam Jackson had the funniest part in the movie. I wasnt expecting an Adam Sandler Uncut Gems performance. Star of the show is, THE VISUAL EFFECTS, my god, gore effects are starting to look super realistic.

I never doubted Chris Rock because I've seen the newest season of Fargo, he's damn good in that.
Chris needs to stick to comedy, horror/thriller isn't his cup of tea.
He was way over the top for most of the movie.
My favorite review of Spiral, I felt like this is a good spinoff to the original trilogy of Saw after Jigsaw died. Also the biggest clue to who was behind the traps was *SPOILERS*

Nice Hellraiser joke at the end. You will definitely suffer through that series. 😂
I just came back from the cinema from seeing this. Best one after the first 3 for sure. Potentially after the first 3 as Cody says.
Great review Cody!
This was personally my least favorite saw movie for a couple of reasons.
Traps: I thought that the traps never really had a chance to breath. With the the way the movie was edited, it felt like we were in a trap and then boom the person was dead super quick. Even though the traps were unique, I thought they still were lacking on the Gore, and none of them really had that good Money Shot.
Twist: I also predicted the twist not too far into the movie like you did, which was due to a choice they made in the movie about how they portrayed the “death” of a character.
Plot: While I enjoyed the plot to an extent, I felt as if the characters were just going wherever the killer was leading them, and not really figuring anything out for themselves. Also, the ending felt like it didn’t have any punch too it, wasn’t deserving of the awesome main theme song.
Conclusion: I feel as if this movie alienates both audiences. It’s not SAW enough for the loyal fanatics, while also being too SAW for the casual movie goer.
Just a few thoughts about the movie I had, great review as always Cody.
Saw 👀 it today. It had fresh ideas and I was glad they got out of the soap opera storylines. I liked it.

Awesome review. I didn’t like it as much as you did but you brought up some great points that made me wanna view it again sometime in the future and see if I’ll like it more on second viewing. I myself was underwhelmed by the 3rd act and saw it all coming. And while the villain definitely had a better motive than jigsaw, they are nowhere near as memorable as Tobin bell. But I do appreciate the original mystery feel it brought back and I do think they can potentially build something better from here.
Lol what a great outro Cody. Make sure u watch till the very end ppl, jigsaw has a final game for Cody.
And it's a twisted one for sure!!!
Yeahhhhhh!!!!!! I'm beyond hyped for hellraiser and resident evil reviews! I love cody, heraiser and res. So like I'm excited for all of the videos to come. I never thought the end of a review video would get me so excited. Well done sir. And remember no tears. It's a waste of good suffering.
I Loved The Traps, Gore, Twists, Chemistry between Samuel L Jackson and Chris Rock, And The Soundtrack
I really enjoyed this movie it's among the top of the franchise and that's coming from a fan of the series glad you liked it
Dude! I am so excited about your next task. I love hellraiser 1-4 and inferno. You have my deepest sympathy for the rest.
I assumed it was Detective Lee Butters trying to find out what happened to his father-in-law Murtaw during the Jigsaw murders.
..... Hahahaha!!!!
Now I want a Shane Black written Saw movie...
For real though, he really has a way of showing injuries that really makes you feel em. And a very dark sense of humour. Both things the series could use
SPOILERS
Man the second they showed the skinned body but didn't actually show the kill scene I instantly knew who was the killer. When the reveal finally happened I was shaking my head cus the movie thought it was so clever
Surprised cody I really loved this movie it's probably my 2nd after saw 2 this is a more cinematic saw movie
I like it enough, but nobody was going to survive those traps. They'd all bleed out minutes after they escaped. But the b ending was what saved it for me. The music really got my hyped.
Same thoughts as you. Only thing I didn't like that you didn't mention was the ending. For me, it didn't really make sense. SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING
Did the swat team really not see that Sam Jackson was propped up with wires and being forced to raise the gun? Those wires were real thick, I think you'd be able to see them.
Also, did they not see Shkenk in the elevator? Were they not listening to Chris screaming and pointing? Just didn't make sense to me. Really liked the movie though.
Seeing this tomorrow can't wait & Cody actually not wanting to gouge his eyes out confirms it. Loved the Hellraiser punch. I haven't seen a single film in the franchise & don't want to so. You are the only reason I'll know anything about it lol
Only review I'll watch cause I know you won't spoil anything as I'm struggling to find an open cinema thats playing Spiral.
Glad to hear its on the positive end of this franchise after that trailer and wonder if it'll beat out my favourite film.
Awesome review Cody as always! Keep up the great work and content 😄
I love how you mock acting in the films it's hilarious 😂😂
I went last night to go see it in theaters I enjoyed had good time with it the twist at end of the movie I saw coming from a mile away it definitely is enjoyable like you said really enjoyed your review of the series I enjoy your content you are awesome bud
I loved this film. Better production values, better plot concept, better acting than pretty much all the other films. Only the original wins out for plot concept.
People are mad about Rock's "jokes" falling flat at the beginning, or being out of place, and I think that's on them. They can't get the image of Chris Rock, Comedian, out of their head, so when they see and hear him making jokes they automatically compare it to his actual comedic work. No, those jokes were supposed to be bad. They were only meant to elicit a few chuckles by being poorly timed in relation to the set and setting of the film.
And when the actual plot kicks off, those comedic lines are gone.
There's no tone-switch, the film is what it is. It's people's preconceived ideas that are ruining the film.
You are so right and smart
I have spiral ranked number 6 in the franchise. I enjoyed it but the ending ruined it for me. I’m still looking forward to future of the franchise and hope that in the end I can enjoy this ending.
Glad To see A little bit of new Ideas put in this franchise it needed it badly after the final chapter. glad you enjoyed this movie cody!
I actually was surprised and liked this movie a lot. I like it more than most of the saw movies.
.I just bought Walmart Exclusive Saw 9 Film Collection on DVD It's also on (Blu-ray)
I just watch Spiral today it's a awesome chapter to the saw movies.
Just came back from the theater and honestly I absolutely LOVED this film I mean it's a very strong entire in the franchise and WAYYY better than jigsaw in my opinion 😊
According to director Darren Lynn Bousman, a trap consisting of someone getting their face cut off had to be cut from the film in order for it to receive an R rating from the MPAA.
Chris Rock is a fan of the "Saw" franchise and pitched the idea to Lionsgate. As a result, they made him one of the lead actors, a co-writer, and executive producer.
The first film in the series not to be released in October
In order to secure an R rating, the film had to be submitted to the MPAA 11 times. All other attempts resulted in a rating of NC-17.
The first "Saw" film to not utilize the annual October Blood Drive with advertised poster models.
Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that Detective Drury originally had a bigger role and a "horrific death scene", but they cut it out for being "too much".
Marisol Nichols' second horror film, following "Scream 2" (1997).
This is the third film in the franchise where the phrase "Game Over" is not used; the other films that do not include the phrase are "Saw V" (2008) and "Jigsaw" (2017).
William Schenk marks the fourth Jigsaw Killer that had a family member killed. It is revealed that John Kramer lost his son, Gideon, in "Saw IV" (2007); Mark Hoffman lost his sister, Angelina, in "Saw V" (2008); and Logan Nelson lost his wife, Christine, in "Jigsaw" (2017).
Even though a photo of Tobin Bell is shown in the film, the actor did not receive any credit.
Is the second film in the series to be framed at 2.35:1. The first film to be framed in 2.35:1 was Jigsaw (2017).
Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that he was very angry during the finger-skinning sequence, knowing that they lost so much of it to the whims of the MPAA. "You saw every finger break, every bone pop, every knuckle snap."
Darren Lynn Bousman wanted a subway tunnel, but he was told the logistics just weren't in the budget. He held his ground, and they eventually built a subway tunnel set to meet their needs. It's a tiny set that uses forced perspective to make things look bigger than they are
The previous working title was "The Organ Donor".
According to Chris Rock, two films that were the inspiration for this film are "Seven" (1995) and "48 Hrs." (1982).
Chris Rock's first horror film.
imagine these movies could have been if they weren't obsessed with the R rating.
Are you ever gonna rank the traps cause there are some amazing ones
I hope Charlie Clouser’s score is still in this movie. I’ve always thought his score was one of the best Ive ever heard in a movie ever since I first heard it in the original Saw film. Jaw dropping twist music!
It is.
Glad to see you and I agree on a good portion. Not so much on others lol - great review, ya beast!
Thanks for this Cody. Gonna check it out. Your a rock star bro!
Hey cody, what did you think of the puppet in the film?
Just saw it and thought it was honestly good
I thought it was good it definitely felt like something fresh and different the only thing I didn’t like was the obvious twist
I just watched it and thought that the dialogue was so poorly written and the acting really really bad. Not a good movie imo
I’ve been waiting for this review For What feels Like Months!!! Every time I see Your Videos The Horror Child Lights Up In Me....
The killer was so obvious but if I rank it be hard cause I don't like SAW 3 and 7.
Saw III one of my favs lol
I liked the ending.... It was dope mane!
Cool review, badass t-shirt 🔥
This has given me more confidence in the film after I started to doubt these past few weeks, thank you for that. Also I'm wondering when the ranking of the Saw films will be, I am curious how'd you rank near the middle as I feel that's the toughest place of any Saw ranking.
Certainly better than I thought it was going to be enjoyed it. Like you thought the revealing was predictable but other than that cool movie.
I agree minus no trap was beatable where in Saw people had a chance... All the traps you were going to die even if you did what was supposedly the payment for sins.
Gonna pause this and wait for a digital rental or purchase. I am in Canada, and we're still locked down. Our theatres are still closed.
To be honest, I wa t to see more Saw movies from the detectives point of view, itd be interesting if we mostly only see the aftermath of the traps and the detectives have to piece any piece of information they can get a hold of to track down the Jigsaw killer. Kinda similar to Seven, but instead of the deadly sins its morally corrupted traps, like they figure out people who would want to do this to the person so on and so on
This movie was great, better than the last few sequels. Just don't understand why it couldn't be called Jigsaw 2/Saw 9? Not sure why they couldn't use the original voice and puppet either? Don't know how many books Saw has. Hope we get a Spiral 2 though. Better than Cruella imo.
Ha ha how did I know the next franchise was gonna be Hellraiser? Talk about turning your brain into mush by movies 😂
I have not seen this yet but I want to see it & I am the kind of person who hates knowing the plotline or killer at the beginning or in the middle of the film because I feel like it ruins it for me & there are so many films I know who the killer was from the beginning of the films
