CGI is the curse of modern film (horror or otherwise), as while the imagery may do the job of tricking the viewer on the surface, the lack of getting-your-hands-dirty craft on display is disenchanting - and enchantment is exactly what we want from a fantasy film.

One could argue computer graphics still need blood sweat and tears to create, but simply manipulating pixels like they do mean CGI experts and their films will never be taken as seriously as work by prosthetic artists.

Movies like Star Wars are impressive and could not exist as they do without it, but CGI is creeping into the most everyday films in the form of blood splashes, car crashes and background landscapes and these stand out like a sore thumb.

Laziness, too, is a word that pops into mind here.
