Yeah, but it's pretty clear what he's talking about and he's not talking about that.

I agree with the OP, though...I don't understand how CGI blood in some of these B-movies lately is cheaper than just buying a gallon of stage blood and tossing it about. If you have a budget of 5 bucks, I'd still rather see cutaways and suggested kills than tons of CGI nonsense. It *can* be pulled off in some movies where a lot of money is dumped into it or if it's meant to be stylized like 300 or something, but most of the time it looks like bad CGI even for 1994.
