It’s worth noting this is ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ and not the ‘Spiral’ (2019) from Shudder. Happy Octoberween y’all!

Octoberween: ‘Saw’ Tries Too Hard to Be Clever

Hey, chumps. Octoberween is still happening. Tell yer friends. Saw (2004): The Plot: A doctor (Cary Elwes) and a sleazy photographer (Leigh Whannell) wake up chained by their feet to opposite sides of a super gross bathroom. As they try to find a way out, they discover tapes and clues left behind by their captor,…
