how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 53 comments (49 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 9 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The hip hop version of the Saw theme music over the credits is painful.”

“just turns out very strange in the end”

“The worst part of this movie is everything else.”

“If the whole movie was like the last 20 to 25 minutes, it would be an 8/10.”

“la escena final me parece hermosa, en el sentido que cuando la vi, me hizo sentir como cuando estaba viendo las primeras películas por primera vez.”

“at this point the plot takes a different and somewhat confusing course, it is somewhat overloaded and I think it is overexploited, the meaning is lost and becomes boring”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Spiral embodies the franchise James Wan and Leigh Whannell built, while being totally refurbished for a new generation.”
Jenny Nulf, Austin Chronicle · 89
“That a formula as well-trodden as Saw’s can still surprise, delight, and make you feel like you need a quick shower after is impressive.”
Jordan Farley, Total Film · 80
“Spiral is locked in a formula that has not budged in nearly two decades. That is likely to read as good news for fans of the franchise.”
Thom Ernst, Original-Cin · 67
“As we all creep back into the theaters from our COVID cocoons, it serves up just the right amount of cinematic comfort food to keep us coming back for another serving.”
Rob Rector, Film Threat · 60
“Less of a soft reboot than an emergency root canal for a series at risk of being removed from the release slate forever, this dogeared new chapter “from the Book of Saw” might lack the discipline to escape from the same traps that have always shackled its franchise to the grindhouse floor, but it still manages to squeeze a few drops of fresh milk out of Lionsgate’s oldest surviving cash cow with a back to basics approach and some unexpected political bite.”
David Ehrlich, IndieWire · 58

“If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com When it comes to horror, I'm always willing to give any film a shot, even when everything indicates it's probably going to be a massive failure. I'm admittedly not a SAW fanatic, despite quite enjoying the first two movies. After these, I can't even remember which installments I actually watched or not. Not even the most recent Jigsaw caught my attention. In preparation for Spiral, I tried to det”

“The latest entry into the Saw series has a couple okay moments but otherwise this was pretty bad. The acting was probably the worst culprit, chiefly Chris Rock who sprinkles in his comedic rants while Samuel L. Jackson phones it in, not that he's given a whole lot to work with (including a hilariously bad fake mustache for a flashback scene). It's also really predictable as I called who the killer was early on. I'm okay with taking the series in a different direction as there was nowhere else”

“Chris Rock acting like Chris Rock with a daddy Samuel l Jackson acting like Samuel l Jackson in a weird twist of a movie that felt like a small short story in the saw series. It's not a bad movie but there's a few things that it lacked including more blood being spilled and more inventive traps. It kind of became more about the characters and less about what the spiral was trying to do which was copy jigsaw.”

“It was bad. The writing is bad. It could be better tho. Actors are not so great either. I don't know if it's just me or Chris Rock is not really suitable for his character. I just want to say kudos to the cinematographers. Love the cinematography of this film and editors as well!”
