[@janez3199]

I know this comment is over a year old at this point but my grandad loved the look of spiral and new I was a saw fan. We saw it together and both enjoyed it. Even though it’s far from my favourite film in the franchise it’s the one that means the most to me as not only was it the first saw film I was old enough to see in theatres but it was also the last film we saw in cinemas together before he passed.

[@mr.goblin6039]

Man, the idea that Jigsaw inspired a bunch of terrible copy cats that get caught every week or month would be so cool. Like, people just become used to this madness. That’s such a good premise and a neat way to have some dark comedy in Saw without ruining the themes of the franchise like Chris Rock wanted. Also that ending idea you guys had would’ve been fun.

[@PrettyMuchIt]

would love to see a series like that tbh...

[@Tores444]

I mean, they literally showed that Jigsaw had a cult in one of the movies. They should do a series like Chucky is doing

[@howiegruwitz3173]

Splatterpunks vs Jigsaw

[@joey_ferrari24]

I’m not a big saw fan, the most Iv seen of the moves is the PMI saw marathon video… but isn’t that essentially the premise of all the saws after the first one?? Like with that Amanda girl… and that one cop… and shit like that?? Or were they just more of the main guys assistances rather than inspired fans?

[@QuintetMagician]

@@joey_ferrari24 they were his assistants, yeah. Knew him personally rather than being just fans. But it was still essentially a cult, just not super expanded on. I think a series could be cool! Especially with the twist the guys thought up. I like the idea of the good guys outsmarting a jigsaw copycat.

Chris rock as a cop, in this movie makes me feel this is just a live action horror remake of osmosis jones. without the biology. He even has the sunglasses and beard. The only thing missing is him making horror movie puns instead of body puns.

[@Brandknob]

The script for “SPIRAL” is the most inept part of the movie, I think. It reminds me of the horror stuff that I wrote in 7th grade. Back when I also didn’t understand police work or how human beings behave.

[@wehaveadarkside]

you guys calling the new jigsaw voice "shitty kylo ren" was so accurate lol, and yes i agree it should've been like its own movie and not tied to saw cause it has NOTHING to do with saw, maybe if it was just a cop movie it would've been better

The classic crew always produces gold. I still remember the classic pmi Saw 3D review

[@Dr.CrowHead]

They could’ve made the twist a lot better by not showing that “Charlie” tattoo and just have Schnek dressed up in the pig costume and Zeke asks him who he is and then have Schnek take the mask off. It would’ve been better this way, but I want to hear everyone else’s suggestions.

[@EthalaRide]

I would LOVE their twist on the Saw trope, espeically when it's a reveal that most people figured out already (that the partner was alive), and you could potentially make this new iconic protagonist, like the Anti-Jigsaw where he's like this new type of detective trope, Dirty Harry + Sherlock Holmes + pulp noir. But that's only if the protagonist character is just THAT GOOD, which I don't know if you can really fully plan. Like if The Shadow went up against Jigsaw and just stomped him.

[@travis_mitchell]

I’d love to see a sequel pick up right as the door is about to shut. The swat team sees Sam Jackson’s body, and figures what they’ve done, Chris Rock yells “NOOO”. But right after, he punches one of them, takes their gun, and slides it under the door, catching the gate. He sprints over, lifts the gate, grabs the gun, and jumps down the elevator shaft onto the car and begins unloading the rifle down into the lift, hitting his partner with a bullet. The whole movie is a real time 90 minute thriller of Chris Rock running through the city to catch his partner, revealing a gauntlet of traps along the way that he has to save people from. The difference being, Chris Rock has the slight upper hand by injuring his partner in the beginning. It’d be a nice subversion to the typical end of the door shutting, and that being the end of it for the hero.

[@PrettyMuchIt]

down for that!

[@NabariLuv19]

100% agree with you guys -- that would be a great twist!! I think films with twist villains are always too scared to reveal the villain until the third act, when if we knew halfway though it could actually be way more thrilling because we'd be actively helping the protagonist outsmart them. It's no fun when everyone except the main character sees the twist coming.

[@jeremypayne5078]

The dumbest piece of this puzzle was the line "Let me borrow your phone. Mine's charging." It's so obvious that he's the villain, and he's gonna do something with the phone. The only other purpose for the line would've been as a misdirect, and it would've been the only one in the movie.

[@ashleywilliams4665]

I love the twist on the twist you guys came up with but you need to make sure that even though Chris Rock figures it all out and is ahead of the dude, Samuel Jackson still needs that iconic death. Having mfing SLJ dying from a Jigsaw trap and such a relevant one, is kind of my favorite part.

[@LeRawNugretaw]

In the movie, where the head of police goes into the evidence room where she meats the copycat, Zeke is lured away by an officer down being attacked by a man in a pig mask. My theory is that there might be another person working with the copycat, considering its deemed far enough for the trap to be set up and completed, Also how would a rookie know so much about the crimes the cops got away with. You could assume it's another homeless guy or something. I think they might have a modern approach to Spiral, making a movie with answers coming in a conclusion in the form of a trilogy or something similar.
