And just to add, I find CGI gore utterly unconvincing and a total turn-off in a horror film.
New audiences might not see the problem with the increasingly outrageous possibilities now available, but more isn't always better.
Imagine how differently the crew of the Nostromo might have acted should John Hurt had been wriggling around with nothing happening instead of those great bursts of fake blood and that slimy little puppet slowly emerging.
Come to think of it, remember how wobbly the Alien films became once the monster became CGI, in Alien3?
