Halloween Treat #8: Love The ‘Saw’ Theme? Now You Can Sing Along!
The Saw theme, also known as “Hello Zepp” (even though the character is just “Zep” with one ‘p’), has become one of the most memorable horror themes in recent memory, officially hitting the mainstream when they used it for a Tom Cruise movie trailer (Valkyrie). This has not escaped Youtube legend “Goldentusk”, who has made a name for himself by writing lyrics to several classic movie themes, including Jaws, Halloween, and Indiana Jones. Now, just in time for Saw 3D (read our review HERE), he has taken on Charlie Clouser’s awesome theme, adding appropriate lyrics to the familiar notes that usually play at the end of each film over the big twist reveal (“Just in CASE/hide my FACE/always in dis-GUISE!”). I think it’s one of his best yet, and it’s a fun way to help celebrate what may be the final Saw movie’s release. Check below for the video, and visit his YouTube channel for all of his other classics!
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
