I Finally Watched Spiral: From The Book Of Saw (2021)

I finally watched Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

YOU MIGHT GET SPOILED ON OTHER MOVIES OF THE FRANCHISE SO BEWARE BEFORE READING

OK SO BOI OH BOI, WHERE DO I EVEN START.

Corrupted policemen were always involved in the saw franchise, but I really think that everything that took place regarding police brutality back in 2020 did have an impact on the film, even though it was supposed to be released in 2020. I might be wrong tho.

Once again, we have a goddamn Jigsaw copycat, manslaughtering their victims in true Mark Hoffman fashion, unescapable traps for shits and giggles, but unlike my boi Hoffman this bitch decides to make a legit ripoff of Jigsaw's work, you know the I bought a 'Gucci' shirt for 10 bucks but the print has 'Coochie' written on it kind of ripoff. And let's be real, if John Kramer was mad at Hoffman for being a copycat killer that chose a cheap blade to kill his victim, I'd love to see his reaction at a copycat that didn't even have the decency to make their recordings sound creepier because maybe that's all of what free sound distort programs on the internet can offer.

My boi Zeke deserved a lot better, he was the grumpy type of protagonist. Do I blame him though? Hell nah, all of his damn coworkers sucked. His wife cheated on him and wouldn't let him see their kid. His father is a corrupted cop as well but is keeping it hella lowkie. And unsurpisingly everyone around him is dying and he can't do shit about it because even though he is trying, his coworkers are unwilling to even listen to him talking.

I loved the movie, I absolutely adore the Saw franchise. The everending plotwists never cease to surprise me and way the story flows keeps me focused, trying to solve the goddamn riddles. So regarding the killer's inspiration from John Kramer's theory of the Spiral. It really is JUST an inspiration BUT it's waaay to far away from John Kramer's ideology and motives, since according to him, everyone deserves a second chance in life, in order to change (or just to become his apprentice). Thus, all of his traps were escapeable, unlike Amanda Young and Mark Hoffman's traps.

So If John Kramer was alive I doubt that they would get away without being tested in a trap, let alone to be a successful apprentice.
