Today we are going to talk about the movie "Saw Cry 9: The Vortex".
The film title Spiral: From the Book of Saw / SAW: The Organ Donor (2021), alias Death Maelstrom: Imperishable Saw New Game (Taiwan) / Maelstrom: Fear Doushi New Game (Hong Kong).
Chris Rock is a fan of the "Chain Saw" series, he proposed the idea of this film to Lionsgate, so the development of this film.
Chris Rock said that his inspiration came from "The Seven Deadly Sins" (Se7en, 1995) and "48 Hours" (48 Hrs., 1982).
Therefore, Lionsgate made him one of the leading actors, co-writer and executive producer.
This film is also Chris Rock's first horror film.
The two screenwriters of "Chain Saw 8", Peter Goodfinger and Josh Stolberg wrote the script, and directed Darren Lynn Bowsman of "Chain Saw 2, 3, 4" (Darren Lynn Bousman) returns to directing.
According to director Darren Lynn Bousman (Darren Lynn Bousman), in order to obtain an R rating, the film was submitted to the MPAA 11 times, and the first ten attempts were rated NC-17.
In the end, a clip was cut and it was rated R. The clip was a person with his face cut off.
The director also revealed that he was very angry to get the MPAA rating, and a piece of peeled finger was also deleted. He said: "Originally you could see the break of every finger, the burst of every bone, the break of every joint."
Due to the epidemic, Lionsgate’s film release date has been postponed from May 15, 2020 by one year, and it will be officially released on May 14, 2021.
Although the film is called "Chain Saw 9: Whirlpool", it has nothing to do with the previous eight works. It can be seen as a restart under the banner of "Chain Saw".
The protagonists of the first few movies, such as the old jigsaw man, Dr. Lawrence Gordon, Mark Hoffman, or Logan Nelson, did not appear, nor did the jigsaw mask dolls.
Dr. Gordon is alive at the end of Saw 3D: The Final Chapter (2010), Logan Nelson is also alive at the end of Saw 3D: The Final Chapter (Jigsaw, 2017), but their Nothing is mentioned later in this film.
In this film, the murderer uses a pig mask to hide his identity, just like a jigsaw in the movie.
However, the reasons for the two wearing pig masks are different.
The jigsaw wears a pig mask because he started working in the Chinese Year of the Pig, and the murderer in this film pays tribute to the jigsaw and taunts the police for being a pig.
The swirl shape in this film is taken from the swirl of the puppet Billy's red cheeks.
The director said before filming that he wanted a subway tunnel, but he was told that the budget was insufficient. The director insisted on his position and finally succeeded in building a small subway tunnel.
The tunnel is very small, so perspective shooting is used in the film to make the tunnel look big.
The first dialogue filmed by Samuel L. Jackson is "Motherfucker" (Motherfucker).
The production company of the vault door in the police basement is called Jules and Vincent.
This is a tribute to the roles of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction (1994).
The protagonist’s name Zeke is a shorthand variant of Ezekiel, and the tribute to Samuel L. Jackson’s quote from Ezekiel 25:17 in Pulp Fiction.
Actually, the plot of this play is not smart, and a slightly more experienced audience can guess the real murderer early.
The film has been carried out in accordance with the routine of police being trapped, thrown into a trap, and waiting until death. However, when William Schenk (William Schenk) was in progress, his "skin" appeared directly. The different plot settings let people immediately see the difference.
The audience and the police could not see the slightest information that could prove William Schenk's death. Instead, all the evidence was on the surface. William Schenk was the murderer.
The director naturally knows this setting, and the audience will quickly guess the murderer.
He said that the real turning point was not who the murderer was, but the reason why the murderer killed the police.
The reason why William Schenk became a jigsaw killer can also be roughly guessed from the previous plot. His father, Charlie Emmerson, was killed by the black police. Zeke, the upright policeman, escaped because of his integrity.
William Schenk became the fourth character to become a jigsaw killer because of the murder of a relative.
The top three are, in "Saw IV" (Saw IV, 2007), John Kramer lost his son Gideon;
In Saw V (2008), Mark Hoffman lost his sister Angelina;
In "Chainsaw 8: Jigsaw" (Jigsaw, 2017), Logan lost his wife Christine.
The overall feeling of "Chain Saw 9: The Vortex" is not as subtle as the previous series of "Chain Saw" series. After several subsequent works, this restart work will only carry forward the bloody part, and its play on human nature falls on Downwind.
Audiences who like the "Chain Saw" series can make a supplement, but don't expect too much, just treat this restart work as a normal B-level film.
The chainsaw world is starting again,
Let's try the courage to inherit the will.
