Who Wants To Play A Game, Again? Here's The Trailer For Spiral: From The Book Of Saw

Hello nerds,

Ah, Spring. The smell of flowers, warm sunshine, a serial killer playing sadistic games with his victims and the police.

A while back, we learned Chris Rock would develop and star in a sequel/soft reboot of the Saw franchise. For those unfamiliar, the comedy legend was hoping to take the long-running in a fresh direction while honoring the films that came before it. All 8 of them. Well, from the looks of the trailer, he might be on to something.

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, Spiral: From The Book Of Saw, tells the story of a Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and his new partner (Max Minghella) as they begin investigating the grisly murders of a few of their fellow police officers. All of whom seem to have met their end by way of a Jigsaw copycat killer. Oh, and the killer has some sort of connection to Zeke’s father, a former police officer, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Intriguing, right?

Thankfully, Lionsgate has released a new trailer and we quickly learn Detective Banks can’t rely on anyone to help him solve this case, as it might be an inside job. Plus, there’s a ton of the usual traits of a Saw film; petrified folks trapped in puzzles from hell, the police being toyed with by the killer, someone donning that creepy-ass Pig mask, and there’s a new version of the Billy doll. This one is far scarier as it’s got a real, “I’m going to come to life and hunt you” vibe about it.

Starring Chris Rock, Max Minghella, and Samuel L. Jackson, Spiral: From The Book Of Saw hits theaters on May 14, 2021.

Zack Snyder's Justice League was a such a wild success that the studio is keen to move on from it, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier brings the big action spy thriller back to the MCU. Enjoy!
