The Saw X the painstaking work of the film editor was alarmed.
Saw X director Kevin Greutert told NME that editor Steve Forne had the police turn up on his doorstep after neighbors heard screams from footage he was working on in post-production.
The scene, which featured a character trying to escape from a creepy “vacuum eye trap”, featured a lot of loud screaming and other sound effects.
“Someone knocked on the door,” Greutert said. “We have a doorbell [camera] saw the police approach, [Forn answering the door] and the police saying: ‘Neighbors [have been] to call and say that someone is being tortured to death here.’ ”

Greutert said Forn quickly reassured police that everything was fine. “He said, ‘Actually, I’m just working on a movie… Can you come in and watch it if you want?’ ”
“The cops started laughing. They said, ‘We want to, but, you know, you’re fine.’ That must have been a pretty realistic performance!” joked the director.
He added: “It’s a pretty funny story. Besides, Steve is such a gentle guy. I can only imagine the look on his face when he realized what was happening.”

How far are you? Saw X Go with your bloody traps? ‘Rarely is something too extreme’, says the director (exclusive)
Saw X, the tenth film in the horror franchise, debuted in theaters on Friday. The story begins between the events of the first and second films and features the return of John Kramer (Tobin Bell) and Amanda (Shawnee Smith).
In an interview with PEOPLE, Gruetert addressed the vacuum eye trap featured in the scene Forn was working on, while talking about how he and his team aren’t afraid to push the boundaries when it comes to the franchise’s signature bloodline.
“Rarely is anything too extreme for Saw” said Greutert, who directed three films and edited seven of them, including the 2004 original.
However, producer Oren Koules added that they “set aside some” fairly hardcore concepts in the past.

“[But] we’ve been doing MPA for 20 years, so we kind of know where our limits are, where we can push and where we can’t,” he said. “We try to do the best we can. ”
Echoing what happened to Forno, Koules said the film’s creative team no longer held their brainstorming sessions in public because the content of their discussions alarmed eavesdroppers.
“We used to do it in a restaurant, but it doesn’t work as much anymore because people go crazy sitting around us,” he explained.
“We’re going to sit there and say, ‘So if we cut someone’s ear off, how much blood do you think comes out? And if you rip someone’s tongue out, can they still live? I know I can’t talk, but . . .’ And you see people looking at you, hearing you, listening in,” added producer Mark Burg. “So we moved it to Oren’s living room.”
