It turns out Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson’s horror and mystery film “Spiral” isn’t a prequel or a spinoff to the “Saw” franchise but is something of a follow-up, with Rock playing a detective now investigating a series of murders from none other than a Jigsaw copycat.
“Spiral: From the Book of Saw” was meant to come out last summer only to be pushed back by the pandemic, but the wait may have been worth it thanks to the twisted and grizzly new trailer for the film released Tuesday.
Rock in the film tries to investigate this latest killer using spirals and chilling, gift wrapped boxes as his calling card, and he does so with the help of his rookie partner played by Max Minghella and his retired father played by Jackson. But as he gets deeper into the mystery, he finds himself wrapped up in the new killer’s deadly game.

Some how we have come to believe that greatness is reserved for the chosen few. For the superstars. The truth is, greatness is for all of us.”
Nike’s brand chief Greg Hoffman was careful to avoid references to the Olympics in an article in The Guardian yesterday, saying:”The...
