Five people wake up in a barn wearing Bucket Head Traps. I think if they did not have a sequel greenlit, they should have offered a more definitive ending to this movie.A portion of the story in Jigsaw takes place years before Saw. Some have said that the next movie will not be Spiral 2, but another movie in the actual Saw name! Others have stated that they would like to bring the world of Saw to a tv series. There are all kinds of weird things floating around about the future of the franchise. These were great in the Saw movies as they kept you wanting the series to progress, but here I am not 100 percent convinced we will get to see what happens after this. Spiral is also trying to shock the audience and that is evident by the cliffhanger ending. The thing that I took away from Spiral was that while it was clearly set in the same world as the Saw movies. It is done well enough and I think the actors and the special effects team did a solid job. I have to say that at the end of the day, this is the same kind of Saw movie that you have seen eight times before this. While I like how there are many twists and turns and things that make you question who is involved.
