Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Jenny Nulf (101) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 13 May 2021

Spiral embodies the franchise James Wan and Leigh Whannell built, while being totally refurbished for a new generation…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Deirdre Crimmins (265) for Polygon (677) on 13 May 2021

Spiral lacks depth and nuance, and by avoiding irony or camp, it’s asking to be taken seriously…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 13 May 2021

It spirals downward into a ludicrous, dumbed-down horror story more concerned with grossing out the audience than in providing any compelling…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By John Nugent (191) for Empire (3,446) on 13 May 2021

Spiral makes an admirable stab at defibrillating an old franchise — but ultimately wastes its stars, caught in the same bear-trap of a formula…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Bilge Ebiri (1,050) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 13 May 2021

Spiral: From the Book of Saw, delivers mildly on the torture-porn front, but its tone and focus are decidedly different…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Robert Daniels (336) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 May 2021

If Spiral hoped to reinvent the franchise, the dull installment merely amounts to bad fan fiction…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 13 May 2021

The premise is disingenuous at best and, in a moment where scores of citizens are calling for widespread police reform, fearmongering at worst…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Jordan Farley (104) for Total Film (3,532) on 12 May 2021

That a formula as well-trodden as Saw’s can still surprise, delight, and make you feel like you need a quick shower after is impressive…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 May 2021

It’s not a waste of a concept, exactly, but it’s not the reinvention that the franchise needs, either…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for IndieWire (3,631) on 12 May 2021

Less of a soft reboot than an emergency root canal for a series at risk of being removed from the release slate forever, this dogeared new…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By William Bibbiani (788) for TheWrap (3,203) on 12 May 2021

The screenplay captures the grizzled-cop-movie tone and draws some memorable characters, but the storyline is rote, the mystery is frustratingly…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 12 May 2021

Along the way there is some really gory violence and some really cliched cop-drama dialogue, with acting to match…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 12 May 2021

This thriller sits on the gory edge of the blade, teetering between “not all that” and “not that bad.”…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 12 May 2021

Spiral, which involves the hunt for a serial killer by the police force of a nameless metropolis, is a thriller, a mystery, a police drama,…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

Aside from the disgusting parts, Spiral is a fairly decent thriller…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 12 May 2021

Spiral might have rhetorical wrinkles that set it apart from its predecessors, but this franchise is still going around in circles…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Chris Evangelista (306) for Slashfilm (971) on 12 May 2021

Spiral blunders through its central mystery without grace or style, or even much thought. Even the death traps are weirdly uninspired…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Clint Worthington (295) for Consequence (296) on 12 May 2021

Spiral is a frustrating animal: In its first half, it styles itself as a prestige sequel/revamp of a cult horror series, lifting it from its…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Nick Allen (397) for The Playlist (3,871) on 12 May 2021

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Variety (12,700) on 12 May 2021

No, the “Saw” series hasn’t really changed. So depending on whether you’re a fan or not, eat up…or throw up…
