It ’s still undecipherable incisively howSpiral : From the Book of Sawties into the prior films , but it ’s time for John Kramer to be give up to rest in peace . Tight continuity can sometimes be heavy to come by with horror franchises . Sure , most manage to keep the same baddie , and possibly some other characters or setting , but often producers and writers just seem to throw up their hands and promise fans do n’t notice the glaring lack of logical system between installments .

For instance , Friday the 13th Part 8ends with Jason being dissolved by toxic waste , whileJason Goes to Hellhas him not only alert again but somehow sent back from Manhattan to Crystal Lake . Or elsewhere , almost all theLeprechaunsequels act that there ’s never been aLeprechaunmovie before them , fix up their own rules for the titulary unsound guy . That ’s not the case with theSawseries , which sport arguably the most slavish cultism to maintain persistence and avoiding retcons in the history of revulsion film .

Of course , Saw ’s deference for continuity has been a double - edged sword . As the serial expanded to include more and more film , explaining how and why the latest " biz " tied back to the programme or disciples of the now long - dead John " Jigsaw " Kramer became hard and intemperately . It ’s time forSpiral , akaSaw 9 , to break barren of that chain .

Saw 9 Must Avoid Jigsaw’s Mistakes

If carbon monoxide - creators James Wan andLeigh Whannellhad anticipatedSawbecoming a 15 - class - plus franchise , it seems probable that they might have change their minds about giving Jigsaw terminal Cancer the Crab . But cancer he had , and by the death ofSaw 3 , John Kramer was dead . Yet , over the course of five additionalSawmovies , Jigsaw has continue to pull the strings , and the longer that has continued , the hard and firmly it ’s become to take as a viewer . Jigsaw was not a superhero - or supervillain for that issue - he was a deathly serviceman , and no matter how smart he was , he was n’t psychic .

WhileSpiral : From the Book of Sawshould indeed acknowledge the franchise ’s past tense , and perhaps even feature a flashback cameo byTobin Bellas Jigsaw , it should n’t go the path of 2017’sJigsaw , and feature yet another antecedently unnamed apprentice able to further John ’s work . Spiral ’s killer needs to be someone new , someone not straight off link up to Jigsaw , and someone not tied to all of John Kramer ’s character luggage . Spiral , starring and executive produced byChris Rock , has been placard as a reboot , and for the most part , that ’s exactly what it needs to be . It ’s time for a fresh multiplication of baddie to get started encounter their own game .
