Spiral: From the Book of Saw receives an R-rating

February 27, 2020 by Liam Waddington

As a surprise to no one who is even remotely familiar with the franchise, Spiral: From the Book of Saw has received an R-rating, as with all eight previous instalments in the horror series.

Reported by Bloody Disgusting, Spiral: From the Book of Saw has officially been rated “R” for “sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, pervasive language, some sexual references and brief drug use.”

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 centre of the killer’s morbid game.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw stars Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Max Minghella, and Marisol Nichols, with Darren Lynn Bousman returning to the world of Jigsaw for the 9th instalment having previously directed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. It is set for release on May 15th 2020.
