Before I begin I must say that Saw is one of my favorite movie series. So I am a little biased with this review.
Cons: doesn't follow previous Saw films (direction, traps, plot), the pacing is off, the twist is not as clearly hidden as the directors might've thought it was, the voices were a little distorted.
Pros: there's tons of avenues for the series to continue in now, Samuel Jackson was great, it is politically relevant, the storyline while not being Saw is able to stand on its own.
Overall: the movie would've been a lot more enjoyable if they just labeled it Spiral. When you mention Saw people get a particular thought in mind. They look for little details, they're looking for John Kramer or his disciples, they're looking for gore and sadistic traps; however, this is what you expect from Saw. This movie should be treated as it's own standalone film and I think the ratings would've been better overall. It would get a higher rating for opening the Saw franchise back up but I'm interested to see where this new direction will take it.

Came across this on a random coincidence. Was absolutely pleased.
I believe the plot has been done before, because my faithful partner died of a random occurrence, I no longer believe in God. So to prove this, I wanna show everyone that there is no God.
This is one differs in how it develops. It has it's cliche' moments but they are few and far inbetween. I can say that the way the director chose to represent a change, is very abrasive and jarring but it's not bad.
I would recommend for a good watch. Could be a good movie for people that are new to horror or really enjoy supernatural religious movies.

This had potential as a gay man knowing that the protagonists of the movie were an interracial gay couple with a daughter from a previous marriage I had hopes.
This movie plays the stereotypical game with its protagonists and plot. Why 6 stars?
Pros: plot has promise, it's not a jump scare but more of a thriller type of horror, the other actors were pretty good.
Cons: predictable, way too long, the main actor couldn't carry the role. It became cliche really quickly and a lot of the movie is fluff. If it could be cut about 20 minutes it would be definitely help with pacing and actual important stuff for the movie.
If you just want something on to pass the time, this will work. If you want a drop dead amazing movie experience - get out of 2020 lol
