Spiral: From the Book of Saw
Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran, brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks and his rookie partner take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
Critics Sentiment
Garza trapped in cold storage with boiling wax
SWAT team mistakes Marcus for shooter and kills him
The film drops significantly from the effective Garza trap sequence to the widely criticized rushed ending where Marcus is killed by the SWAT team
Reviews show Spiral delivering effectively on its core horror trap sequences, with several brutal death scenes earning praise from critics. However, the film struggles with predictability issues and Chris Rock's dramatic performance, leading to declining sentiment as the mystery becomes obvious. The rushed and unsatisfying ending represents the film's lowest point, confirming many reviewers' fears about the franchise's continued decline.
