*SPOILERS* ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ Featurette: The Evolution of the Franchise’s Traps! [Exclusive]

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but this exclusive look behind the scenes of Lionsgate’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw spoils the film’s big reveal. For those who have seen the ninth film in the SAW franchise, let the cast and crew talk you through the evolution of the films and their traps.

“When we started with the first SAW movie – [it was] somewhat of a necessity because it was a low budget independent movie – our traps were kind of based on a concept of something Jigsaw built in his garage out of pieces of stuff he found in the junkyard,” explains Executive Producer Daniel Jason Heffner, who adds: “When we started this one we made the conscious choice to go back more towards basics.”

“One of the reasons the traps look different is because John Kramer was an engineer by trade,” Producer Oren Koules adds.

Darren Bousman‘s franchise relaunch Spiral: From the Book of Saw (read Meagan’s review) is now available on Digital HD with a 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand release set for July 20.

Spiral stars Chris Rock & Samuel L. Jackson and follows a sadistic mastermind who unleashes a twisted form of justice…

“Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (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 center of the killer’s morbid game.”
