A DREADFUL SHRIEK

The Making of Saw

Leigh Whannell: “Because we shot [the film] in sequence, we were doing the ending on the last day and we had to pretty much get it all in one take. So it’s always good to have just everyone going, ‘Alright, just get this right.’”

James Wan: “Because if you don’t get it right, we’re moving on. That was definitely the funniest thing, trying to shoot around the set that was getting torn down as we were filming. We were trying to beat it before the production crew started tearing down the set.”

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

But the horror…the horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.
