Saw 3D’s Eyeball Poster Looks Disturbingly Familiar

Saw 3D's Eyeball Poster Looks Disturbingly FamiliarLooks like Sony's Kevin Butler character isn't the only ad campaign inspiring an imitator. This new Saw 3D movie poster is a little too close to an older PlayStation 3 spot for comfort. Can you spot the similarities?

I suppose I could just ask "Do you have functioning eyes?"

Saw 3D—the torture slasher horror flick previously known as Saw VII—sports an eye-popping resemblance to one of Sony's old "This Is Living" print ads. MovieWallpapers.net spotted the likeness and called it "interesting." Movie site JoBlo went a bit further in calling it a "blatant rip-off."

The following is a PS3 ad that dates back to 2007. (Click to eyeball at a larger size.)
