Am I the only one who is totally disenchanted by computer generated horror (I'm going to guess no, but I'm not certain)? I recently watched the US version of The Grudge, with the black wispy ghost thing, and I almost shat myself laughing... There's just something about CG that my mind doesn't BUY at all, and you really have to suspend belief to get into a horror flick. To me, seeing a Fulci eyeball gag, will always be creepier than seeing some impossible computer animated vivisection. I guess filmmakers are somewhat obligated to keep trying to make it work until CG is finally indistinguishable from reality, but for me it's ruined a lot of films.

i agree the american "grudge" stunk but i believe bad c.g. was the least of it's problems.

c.g. is just a tool...there's no way it can tell a story(despite what george lucas thinks)it's simply a means of fleshing it out.at it's best it's subtle and nuanced...hell maybe even a completely believable supporting character.at it's worst it's "american werewolf in paris" or something of that ilk.
