A particular reply in my Deaths tournament thread got me thinking...has today's CGI really killed the scare factor which was so dominant in 70s and 80s horror cinema?

Well I do agree...to an extent. But look at it this way, CGI has brought a lot of stuff to the screen that make-up and prosthetics could not. Yet somehow the scare-factor of the 70s and 80s still dominate...and are unmatched till now. So, its a bit of a head-tails situation. |
In more ways than one, CGI has been a single big contributor to the genre of late.
But, the movies of the Golden Age which depended solely on prosthetics and make-up had a better scare-effect on the audiences.
What say, folks?
