What is the most successful horror franchise of the 21st century? And who is the creator of its much-anticipated?
Don't think about it, only "The Chainsaw" and Wen Ziren deserve such an honor.
Whether you're a horror movie fan or a crime mystery movie lover, you can't say no to the Chainsaw franchise.
And 16 years after the release of the first film, the ninth work in the series that has already released a preview will be continued with Jigsaw 's I want to play a game.
Chainsaw 9: Helix (2020)
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman Writers: Josh Stolberg, Peter Goldfinger, Chris Rock Starring: Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Max Minghella / Marisol Nicole/ Zoe Palmer Genre: Horror Production Country/Region: United States Language: English Release Date: 2020-05-15 (United States) aka: Chainsaw 9 / New Chainsaw/ Chainsaw Reboot
In the bustling New York City, police detective Zeke and his partner William Schenk drove a police car and enjoyed the afternoon leisurely.
But an emergency call became a ticket to invite them to the "game".
New York's subway tracks, with a broken body lying on the tracks, is the beginning of a bloody game. The classic BGM begins to sound...
More and more tragic scenes painted with red swirls show that a serial killer is raging in the city. His methods are brutal and contempt for the police station. investigation.
But they may just be sinking deeper and deeper. The gears are turned on and the gears are spinning. Who can survive this massacre?
This film was once called a reboot, and it has nothing to do with Jigsaw and the others, but according to the new exposure, everything seems to have turned around.
Similar to "Moonlight Panic" 2018, which directly erased all the sequels in the middle and directly connected to the first one, "Spiral" seems to be the story after "Chainsaw 3", which also erased the love and hate of the original disciples hatred.
In New York, which has inherited the original world view, the jigsaw may be the city's secret buried deep in the ground, and at this moment someone wants to inherit his legacy.
Although the name of the old jigsaw Tobin Bell is not currently on the cast , it is a little disappointing.
However , Samuel Jackson 's joining is very powerful. If you don't say that this is a horror movie, Chris Rock & Samuel Jackson are completely the top configuration of a comedy film, and they are still the classic motherfxxker opening remarks. This killer has received.
The film is titled "Spiral", which not only implies the dizziness that the whole New York is toyed with, but also shows that the red swirl of the jigsaw is an important clue in the film. There is also a scene of urban robbers in the trailer. Are they sinners or punishers? The story seems to be quite complicated.
Chris Rock wrote and acted himself and did not forget to pay tribute to the first part. Zeke, whose left hand was handcuffed to the water pipe, picked up the saw with despair .
It was already the distant Halloween of 2004. When ordinary people in the United States thought about going to the cinema to watch a vulgar and bloody B-movie, the legend of Wen Ziren and this series began.
"Chainsaw" didn't take a month to prepare and shoot, and the cost was only $1 million. No one thought it could create miracles, but the quality of the finished film is shocking. Director Wen constructed a terrifying world of crime and punishment in just 103 minutes.
The brutal and bloody death game and the reversal ending of layers of foreshadowing , the most important thing is that the movie has created an immortal murderer jigsaw in the history of film.
As long as the jigsaw is alive, the game will not end. The first movie, which took 100 million box office with only 1 million yuan, has laid the foundation for the series' big hit, and a sequel will be released every year after that . Called America's "New Year's Eve" movie .
In addition to the huge popularity of Jigsaw, it is also due to the interlocking of its stories that make this series so sought after. If you haven't read the seven parts, then you haven't understood the overall situation laid out by Jigsaw.
The seven-part series of "Chainsaw" tells the story of Jigsaw, a jigsaw-killer and his disciples who devise a game of death to punish what they believe to be sinners while dealing with the police. Every movie has a large game as the main line, in which the ingenious killing mechanism and the finale that subverts everything makes fans unable to stop.
Although Jigsaw left the stage early, he watched and guided the show like the ghost of a prophet.
However, after the third film, although the movie still innovates a large-scale game every time, more and more blood is spilled. But the main line became the plot of several disciples of Amanda and Hoffman fighting against each other. At the same time, Wen Ziren and Ray Warner resigned from the screenwriter seats , resulting in a sharp decline in the quality of the content .
After Darren Lynn Bousman , Ray Warner and Wen Ziren raised the box office of "Chainsaw 3" to a high of 160 million, the box office of the series began to decline one after another, reaching sixth The film was only 68 million , and the seventh finale only recovered to 136 million at the box office.
As of "Chainsaw 7" , the series has temporarily come to an end, and the perfect closed loop from the bathroom start to the bathroom end , the surviving disciples will then replace the jigsaw for the sky, but we won't see the follow-up story.
This should be the case , but Lionsgate will not let go of this very lucrative pastry.
After seven years of wailing for the jigsaw's return, they've come up with the ghastly movie Chainsaw 8: Jigsaw .
No old faces or classic jaw rippers, just old jigsaws for a few minutes.
The screenwriter and director think that the time deception of the flashback is a good trick that can reach the audience, but many unreasonable places have exposed the ending and the real murderer. Thirteen years have passed, but the box office results are almost the same as the first film, which is disappointing.
Lionsgate, who was thinking of opening the new trilogy, was dumbfounded, and the ninth part was delayed.
But one controversial figure is set to change the series' fortunes -- comedian Chris Rock .
Remember when he hosted the Oscars in 2016?
At one point, he drew condemnation for making a joke about child labor in Asia. But given his minority status and lack of malice, it didn't destroy his acting career.
When the sequel went nowhere, Chris Rock, a big fan of the series, threw his own story, Spiral, at Lionsgate.
The two parties immediately reached a consensus. The series writers supplemented the script on the basis of this story, and also attracted the return of the series hero director Darren Lynn Bowes , and began to prepare for the filming of "Chainsaw 9: Spiral".
The film is scheduled for May 15th in North America, and the failed "Dian 8" is placed at the bottom. I believe that fans will not expect the wrong "Spiral" this time.
