Saw X, the latest installment in the hit horror franchise, has so many screams in it that it led to one of the film’s editors getting the police called on him by a neighbor.
Director Kevin Greutert told NME in an interview published online Friday that first assistant editor Steve Forner was working at his office in North Hollywood when Los Angeles police showed up, knocking on his door.
At the time, the filmmaker said he was finishing the sound design for one particularly intense scene, which involved a character trying to escape an “eye vacuum trap,” and had the volume too loud.
“There was a knock at the door,” Greutert said. “We have the doorbell [camera] video of the police walking up, [Forner answering the door], and the police saying, ‘The neighbors [have been] calling and saying someone’s being tortured to death in here.’”
The director said Forner told police, “‘Actually, I’m just working on a movie.
