Horror Fans Are Loving The New Saw Movie

The Saw franchise began to run out of steam many years ago, but all that any major horror property really needs is a fresh coat of paint and it’s ready to capture the public’s imagination once more, as we’ve seen time and time again as virtually any brand with name recognition finds itself reinvented and updated.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw is an entirely different proposition, though. For one thing, it stars Chris Rock, who doesn’t tackle too many dramatic roles. Not to mention that he also developed the story and is an executive producer on the pic. That alone is enough to pique the curiosity of many.
But then you also have Samuel L. Jackson in the cast, while returning director Darren Lynn Bousman has been hyping the film up as a bold reinvention for a tiring series. And now that it’s here, it seems that he was right. While reviews have admittedly been a bit mixed, the fans appear to be loving it, as you can see from the reactions below.

Just got finished watching #Spiral great movie! Definitely different from the other films but I really enjoyed it and the traps!! Love the messages against crooked and messed up cops out there, and the final scenes are really powerful!!! Can't wait for the sequels!!! Or Saw 10!

I watched Spiral with my fiancé and we loved it. Jump scares got my fiancé. I love all of the traps and my jaw dropped at the last couple minutes of the movie. I can’t wait for it come on the 4K. Great job @joshstolberg @darren_bousman @Saw @chrisrock

Ayoooo!!! #Spiral was gruesome and amazing!!! It kept the saw formula but at the same time delivered something different. I see the direction the Saw franchise is heading, and I love it. Good one @chrisrock @Lionsgate and everyone apart of it???? 10/10

In terms of quality relative to the rest of the series, #Spiral is easily the second or third best of ‘Saw’
Feels like it left a bigger home run on the table in a lot of spots, but I weirdly love this entire series… so I enjoyed it. pic.twitter.com/QXRnx6kAo3

Worth. The. Wait. @darren_bousman is back and so is SAW! The twists and turns remain but it’s a new world that Rock carries with ease. I was smiling ear-to-ear as the lights came up and *will* see it again before the weekend is out! If you love SAW you’re going to adore #Spiral. pic.twitter.com/joMumy1ZOV

@darren_bousman I love Spiral. Thank you for being back my love for SAW and those damn twists. I want expecting the ending. Still mind blowing.

Even though I’m not a big Chris Rock fan, I really enjoyed Spiral. I love anything related to the SAW movies.

All things considered, it certainly looks like Spiral is the shot in the arm that the franchise has been crying out for and while it likely won’t hit the same box office heights as some of the previous entries given the current global pandemic, the early buzz points to it being successful enough to justify more to come from the property. In fact, development on Saw X is apparently already underway.
But tell us, have you checked out Spiral: From the Book of Saw yet? If so, what did you think of it? Let us know in the usual place down below.
