Synopsis for Saw X

Set between the events of Saw and Saw II, a sick and desperate John Kramer travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer - only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged and ingenious traps.

Check out the Salty Popcorn movie page for more information on this upcoming film.

Chris Rock stars in and produces the new film from the Saw series which today gets a new trailer, this time taking a more serial killer drama vibe than the hack and slash of the previous film.

Play me. ? Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson star in #Spiral: From The Book Of Saw - only in theatres May 14. pic.twitter.com/CoUyljLSxp

— Spiral (@Saw) March 30, 2021

As the movie turns away from the previous series which lasted for 6 movies, a 3D finale and then the stand alone movie Jigsaw, this looks to be a more serious movie in the vein of director David Fincher's Seven from 1996.

In the new trailer we get to see Chris Rock flexing his acting muscles and we also get our first proper showing of Samuel L, Jackson who plays an ex-cop and Rocks dad.

The movie is set for release on 21st May 2021 in the UK and a week earlier on 14th May in America.
