Director Darren Lynn Bousman says while he's previously used gore as a gross-out tactic, "the violence in 'Spiral' ... just serves the story."
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Whether you're a glutton for gore or someone who covers their eyes during horror movies, chances are you know who this is: Jigsaw, the nightmare-inducing villain of the "Saw" franchise.
"When I started off making the 'Saw' films, gore and violence was a gimmick. I used it to try to gross out the audience, as well as one-up other horror filmmakers."
Darren Lynn Bousman is the filmmaker behind the second, third and fourth films in the "Saw" franchise. And this year, he's back with "Spiral" — a new film in the franchise starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson.
