CGI: Worst thing to happen to Horror (Page 2 of 2)

^^
I watched it on Netflix years ago.  Don't see it on Netflix, YouTube, or StageVu now.  Don't bother.  Just read this review to get an idea about it.  It's not even funny bad.

^^
If we're going to go that route, then cars that mysteriously die for no reason, or can't re-start for no reason.  Or tripping every 3 feet, or the magical off-screen teleportation of the bad guy.

Nah, I get what you're saying.  It just gets more irritating each year, because the car thing has been going for 40 some years (at least), the cellphone thing was clever at first when there were not commercials showing 80% of the US covered, and somehow people still hide in the backseat of cars?

It's like if I went to Wawa (a convenience store up here), turned my car off, went in, came back and my car won't start, my cell phone is suddenly dead, and there is a lion in the back of the Malibu.  Shit don't work that way!

^^
War of the Worlds remake did that (EMP).  And I don't think that anyone has done testing on humans (or animals even) about the effects an EMP could have on the brain, so maybe.  Only problem is the only way we know how to do a widespread one is a nuke.

Though the teleporting killer has gotten lesser egregious once they started making them faster.

I actually don't mind CGI. Even the bad stuff, they are even trying new kinds of CGI that give the anime blood splatter effect in live action, see Adam Chaplin (shudders). Some of the more extreme film directors and production companies do CGI mixed with practical that is so seamless you can't tell the difference. Morbid films did a horrendous title called Fetus and the effects were truely amazing, story and everything else in between was pretty dire though but if the low budget extreme cinema part of horror can do it, surely the mid to high budget can do it too. But I do love a man in a mask

The phones thing gets on my nerves. Brits should never do it, I dunno what it's like in the US but if there's no signal on our phones we still have the emergency only where we can still dial 999. Trumps the can't call the police thing don't it!

@Crispy- the phone thing we were talking about is that our of nowhere no one can get a signal at all on the their cellphones.  Talking talking, walk into evil building, doors lock, no cellphone signal.  Unless you Euros have like super strength 911/999 powers.

@Punk- I like your style.  I am the guy here (at least for now) that searches out the most ridiculous stuff, but I draw the line on the "bubble head."  Just have her soap up her hair, damn it! 

If you want another bizarre one(s), check out Evil Cult and Terror Toons.  Or The Absence of Light, which has Savini, Tony Todd, and Michael Barrymore in completely incorrect roles.

I get a huge kick out of Terror Toons (gotta love Max Assassin!).  Evil Cult has me shaking my head.  Light is just a WTF were they thinking with how badly they misused their talent.  (Oh, and the alien thingys are are a great example of why I hate CGI FX.)

You are a sick person for watching (or want to watch) these movies.  Monkey Appoved®!!

To prove your worthiness, you must watch Shaitani Dracula.  Youtube link.  Unfortunately, it's in 9 parts.  Then you shall be part of the Horde. 

No literally anywhere, in a sealed box you can call 999 or 101 for non emergencies. You don't need signal and it'll work with low battery. Handy really. But I do get you, it gets on my nurves too sometimes but I try my best to ignore the cliches and get on with it unless it's jammed full of them without it being a satire or a mickey take a la scream or cabin in the woods, then it's allowed
