The only true way to make sense of what's going on is to sit through all of the previous movies-and handily, the first seven can be found on HBO Max, while Jigsaw is currently streaming on Peacock.
So fans could be forgiven for not really remembering what the hell has happened so far.
But it's been four years since the last movie, 2017's Jigsaw, which itself was preceded by a seven year gap since Saw 3D. Spiral: From the Book of Saw is the ninth movie in the series, and it hits theaters this week. What started in 2004 as a clever, gripping, but relatively modest thriller has, over the course of eight films, become a preposterously complicated narrative, with flashbacks, parallel subplots, recurring characters, twists, turns, and head-spinning callbacks. The general rule of horror franchises is that, as the series continues, the plots get simpler and more repetitive, until the inevitable reboot which resets everything.
