In a bizarre turn of events, the highly anticipated ‘Saw X’ movie faced an unexpected interruption during its post-production process. Director Kevin Greutert recently revealed that the police were called to the editing studio due to concerns raised by the neighbors about what they believed to be a terrifying and gruesome torture session taking place.
Key Takeaway
In an unexpected twist, the post-production stage of ‘Saw X’ was momentarily disrupted when the police were called to investigate the realistic and terrifying sounds being created during the editing process. Despite this incident, the movie has been well-received, with critics praising its return to the franchise’s chilling roots.
A Disturbing Scene Triggers Panic
During the meticulous sound design phase of the film, a particularly grotesque scene involving the removal of a character’s eyes caught the attention of concerned residents. Unbeknownst to them, the spine-chilling sound effects used in the editing room were so realistic that it prompted them to contact the authorities.
Greutert humorously recounts the incident, stating, “There was a knock at the door. We have the doorbell [camera] video of the police walking up, [Forn answering the door] and the police saying, ‘The neighbors [have been] calling and saying someone’s being tortured to death in here.'”
A Surreal Encounter with the Police
The editor, Steve Forn, was taken aback by the unexpected visit from law enforcement officials. However, upon explaining that he was merely working on a movie, Forn invited them in to witness the cinematic magic for themselves. To everyone’s relief, the police declined the offer, satisfied that no real crimes were being committed.
Greutert reflects, “It’s a pretty funny story… Plus, Steve is such a mild-mannered guy. I can only imagine the look on his face when he realized what was happening!”
‘Saw X’ Returns to its Terrifying Roots
Despite the unexpected interruption, ‘Saw X’ has been receiving rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. Regarded as one of the most brutal installments in the franchise, as well as one of the best in recent years, the movie promises to satisfy horror enthusiasts.
The return of Tobin Bell as the iconic Jigsaw has generated excitement among fans, who eagerly await the spine-tingling scares that ‘Saw X’ has to offer. With the film now in theaters, it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time to immerse oneself in the eerie atmosphere of the Halloween season.
