With Spiral: From The Book of Saw set to release in just a couple of days, Lionsgate has shared the gruesome opening scene online.
In the horror revival, Chris Rock plays a detective who is targeted by what appears to be a Jigsaw copycat killer (firstly establishing Spirall as a follow-up to the original franchise), and is forced to play a new "game" which involves his father (Samuel L. Jackson) and, seemingly, most of the cops in his precinct.
Rock doesn't appear in this sequence, but we do see an unfortunate detective captured by a Jigsaw copycat in a pig mask, who forces him to participate in one of the twisted games the franchise has become known for. Will he choose to render himself tongue-less in order to escape with his life? Check out the clip below to find out.
A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in SPIRAL, the terrifying new chapter from the book of SAW. Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
Spiral: From The Book of Saw is set to slice its way into theaters on May 14. Do you plan on checking it out?
