I should have been more specific since I didn't ask when the first time CGI was used in horror movies. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Thing, Halloween, Candyman, Night-Return-Dawn-Day-of the living dead, etc.. All these great horror flicks had the real "feel" to it. Someone�s brains were torn off you felt the realism in it. I was sold time and time again. You appreciate all the work put into making the movie, especially with the FX teams. To be more specific, for me I never had to analyze a movie before and say,"Gee I wonder how long it took them to create that on computer" because everything was done hands-on which is why everything felt so real. Movies now where I see a computer made monster turns me off so much, this is why I started switching to Asian horror movies. Sure they are implementing some CGI but most movies are not which is why I say CGI is ruining American released horror movies. Every horror movie for the past 10 times I've seen in theaters has REALLY turned me off. Disappointed in every way. Dead Silence was the only new movie to catch my attention because the producers themselves have a mission which is to make movies without CGI.
However, this is my view and I believe threes a generation difference. I've been raised with special FX, not CGI.
