 Spiral From The Book of Saw (2021) Telugu Dubbed (Voice Over) & English [Dual Audio] WEBRip 720p [1XBET]

When this was announced and I saw it was starring Chris Rock, I was very skeptical of him being attached, but the trailers still showed a great deal of grime and decent resemblance of the lengthy Saw franchise. Well now that I finally saw it, my fears of a failed attempt at a serious Chris Rock portrayal became all too real. His acting is absolutely atrocious and cannot be taken seriously especially in this grizzled franchise. There are times where you can literally see him almost laugh or crack a smile in the actual film. NOT ALL comedians can translate their comedy into versatile serious roles like certain legends. This trend of comedians trying to go serious is getting to be tiresome imo.

Story wise, it’s actually serviceable for the most part aside from forced biased propaganda that was inevitable with Rock involved, especially in this insane day and age. The plotting is rather predictable but there are still solid thriller aspects that are digestible and it has some vibrant suspense toward the end. Some twists and turns keep it interesting and familiar enough though I personally couldn’t take the killer’s disguised voice seriously either. Sam Jackson is always enjoyable and Max Mingella brings solid support.

The real standout and somewhat saving grace for the film is the directing from Bousman who also directed Saw 2/3/4. He creates a visceral environment full of colorful settings, relentless brutality, and crisp camerawork overall. He’s a director that has shown some serious potential and a keen eye for horror.

Overall this is a passable spinoff that offers some new bloodshed in the franchise, yet suffers extremely from Rock forcing a serious role. I’d even go as far as saying if they got a more proper actor for the main role it would’ve elevated the film drastically. It doesn’t break any new ground but has enough to keep fans intrigued and Bousman seems to have the ability to still keep the franchise going.
