Spiralwill serve as a fresh start for theSawfranchise, set years after the main movies, in a moment when the Jigsaw Killer already became part of the gruesome past. We still don’t know howSpiralwill tie-up with theSawmythology, but a trailer can surely help, especially if we get a glimpse of some brand-new death traps. So far, Lionsgate has kept a majority ofSpiral’s plot under wraps, so an opportunity to learn more about its plot with a brand new trailer is more than welcome.
