Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) by Jluis_001 — 16 May 2021

If someone told Chris Rock that his idea was good, maybe that person was right, and if he really believed the idea, he certainly had grounds to asume he was on the right track.

However, something was lost along the way, And he, both as a producer and leading actor, either did not realize it, or chose to ignore it.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw is a clear attempt to do something that might seem a little more serious in this pitiful horror franchise.

It is perfectly understandable what this film was trying to do, at least from what I personally inferred, but from the results that are seen, it can be recognized that the people involved didn't know how to give an adequate voice to that plot.

Don't be fooled. Spiral is just another Saw movie.

It doesn't change the game or the rules, it just tries to give it another approach.

Chris Rock may not be the right choice when it comes to horror or drama, but his work here was decent enough, yet it's far from turning this franchise around, which I think everyone was waiting for.

At least speaking of the audiences that aren't fans, because if there were 7 sequels of the same thing, it's clear that those fans weren't expecting a reinvention.

I can't say that I'm disappointed, because I didn't expect anything from this movie.

Because even in the face of the little things that can be rescued, at this point to wait for a change has become futile. So if this is not the last nail in the coffin of this franchise, then the end will never come, and they will continue to exploit its notorious mediocrity in the years to come.
