Saw spin-off stars Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson in the lead roles and is directed by Saw II-IV director Darren Lynn Bousman in his return to helming the horror series. While it exists in the Saw universe, it’s very much its own thing and provides a fresh experience. ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Spiral director Darren Lynn Bousman about his love of interactive theater, why he doesn’t want to do just another Saw movie, and what it was like working with legends like Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. Tyler Treese: Spiral is this really great mix of genres. You’ve got the Saw-type horror and the mystery going on, but the first half is very much almost a buddy cop movie. What led to that blend of genre there?
