We also have Amanda, a recovering addict at Jill's clinic, who was one of the people involved in the robbery. He became determined to use his remaining time to set up a series of gruesome games, each one designed to test his victims' will to live. He attempted suicide but failed, and then decided that his life should follow a darker course.
But a robbery at the clinic led Jill to have a miscarriage, and soon after, poor Kramer discovered he had an inoperable brain tumor. Before he was a torture-obsessed maniac, Kramer was a morally responsible architect with an equally wholesome, pregnant wife named Jill, who ran a clinic for recovering drug addicts.
At the center we have John Kramer, also known as the Jigsaw Killer. There are several key players in the Saw story, all of whom have some backstory that is revealed before the first movie kicks off. Every movie contains flashbacks to scenes at different points in the timeline, with a variety of important events occurring before the first movie. The main problem of attempting to chronicle the plot of the entire series is that so much happens out of sequence. But for those that don't have time, here's a recap of the essential elements of the story so far. The only true way to make sense of what's going on is to sit through all of the previous movies-and handily, the first seven can be found on HBO Max, while Jigsaw is currently streaming on Peacock.
So fans could be forgiven for not really remembering what the hell has happened so far. But it's been four years since the last movie, 2017's Jigsaw, which itself was preceded by a seven year gap since Saw 3D. Spiral: From the Book of Saw is the ninth movie in the series, and it hits theaters this week. What started in 2004 as a clever, gripping, but relatively modest thriller has, over the course of eight films, become a preposterously complicated narrative, with flashbacks, parallel subplots, recurring characters, twists, turns, and head-spinning callbacks. The general rule of horror franchises is that, as the series continues, the plots get simpler and more repetitive, until the inevitable reboot which resets everything.
