Sawinstallment,
Spiral: From the Book of Saw, is in theaters now. And while it’s the ninth film in the franchise, the feel of the film is a lot different from the others, exploring themes of social justice.
The story centers around Chris Rock’s character, Detective Zeke Banks, as he gets assigned a throwaway case that turns out to be something far more significant and grislier than anyone anticipated. A new Jigsaw-inspired copycat unleashes a new game of lethal justice, and this time their target is the police. Check out the trailer below.
