Screams of horror from Saw X production causes neighbors to call the police
Saw X really is the stuff of nightmares, as the newest installment in the horror franchise caused some neighbors to tremble and seek the help of policewhen they heard the movie’s screams from next door.
Fans get to seeJohn Kramer (Tobin Bell)in a more leading role than in previous movies, as his anguish is the focus ofthe latest batch of traps and torture. This time, the bloody act of redemption falls upon a group who swindled John out of his money, guaranteeing a life-saving procedure for his cancer.
Saw X promises a series of deliciously violent horror and gore witha few franchise Easter eggsthrown in, as well. Between eye-sucking vacuums to having to cut off a few limbs, the movie is nothing short of what fans would expect, and then some.
But theSawfranchise has truly outdone itself this time. Reports claim that neighbors called the police when hearing the blood-curdling sounds of torture, unaware it was Saw X.
Neighbors didn’t know Steve Forn was editing Saw X next door
Director Kevin Greutert spilled his guts about a comical encounter where police arrived at movie editor Steve Forn’s studio over the reported noises of torture – unaware he was working on Saw X.
In an interview withNME, Greutert explained that Forn was working on the sound design for Saw X’s eye-vacuum scene. If you have watched the scene, the sounds of anguish and absolute pain are hard to stomach.
“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 neighbours [have been] calling and saying someone’s being tortured to death in here,'” explained the director. “And he was like, ‘Actually, I’m just working on a movie… You can come in and see it if you want?'”

Once they realized the truth, the police laughed and turned down his offer of getting a sneak peek at Saw X. Greutert then joked that the entire scenario must have been worth a good laugh, especially knowing that Forn is a “mild-mannered guy” who could have gotten into a sticky situation. Thankfully, the screams of torture weren’t real… but were convincing enough that it warranted a call to the authorities. It’s safe to say that Saw X is the definition of horror.
