While continuing the investigation triggered by the grisly death of a former partner, Zeke must deal with an overbearing retired homicide detective father, Marcus (Samuel L. Jackson), who happens to be his landlord, and long-standing issues with fellow officers after he turned in a dirty cop.
When the killer starts leaving boxes of body parts as clues, Zeke gets caught up in a twisted game.
As usual, the diabolical traps set by the killer leave piles of bloody human carnage (fingers being graphically ripped from hands is especially disgusting) but, unfortunately, the traps are uninspired, and the plot brings nothing new to the series except a finely matured comedian turned dramatic actor.

Chris Rock ventures into the horror genre

Spiral: From The Book Of Saw follows Ezekiel Banks, a brash detective that has to work alongside a rookie cop to stop a Jigsaw copycat killer.
This is the ninth film in the Saw franchise. Chris Rock, who plays Ezekiel, wanted to experiment with the horror genre. He brought the idea for a new Saw movie to Lionsgate following a chance meeting with Micheal Burns, the Vice chairman of the studio.
The Spierig Brothers, who directed Jigsaw, expressed interest in returning for Spiral but they ultimately passed on the project. The movie was eventually directed by Darren Lyn Bousman, who is responsible for Saw II, III, and IV.
