(April 26, 2006-May 18, 2013)


Logoː We see unread red text zooming in the screen while being center mirrored on a white background. It flips itself to reveal the company name (still having the reflection) & fades out. The company name appears again, but not being center mirrored, the company name is jittering & in black, & the background is flashing. We then see a red saw blade split the text in half, making the 2 fall. Finally, the saw blade & the company name appear before ending.

Variantː On numerous international trailers the company released, it's shortened where we start with the text jittering.

FX/SFXː 2D animation.

Music/Soundsː A strange whoosh noise and a squeak noise. When the flashing begins, a very loud scream can be heard. Finally, a slice noise is heard.

Music/Sounds Variantː On the trailers, the opening theme plays and (often times) the original sounds have a lower volume.

Availabilityː Uncommon. Seen on their releases & international trailers.

Editor's Noteː This has been noted to be extremely jarring to many because of the loud scream/jumpscare, the flashing, & the strange noises at the beginning. The trailer variant is obviously tamer due to the cut beginning, the lowered volume, & the theme of the movie (which is usually not that creepy), but the flashing is still there, so it ain't by a lot.
