It wasn’t his time.

In a scene out of horror movie, a man narrowly escaped a 4-foot concrete saw blade as it came barreling toward him outside a store in Eugene, Oregon.

Video of the incident shows the man entering the store mere seconds before a large saw blade rolls quickly in his direction from across the parking lot.

The man was safely inside the store with the door closed behind him before the blade latched itself into the building’s facade.

The fast-moving blade slipped away from a nearby construction site on March 28, according to NBC affiliate KMTR.

“That just stuck in your wall,” the man is heard saying to the shop owner following the incident.

The shop owner and a customer could be seen walking over to the entrance after the saw blade made impact.
