I have to agree...
Anyone remember how artfully done
Jurassic Park was? Those dinosaurs were definitely scary AND the movie was ground-breaking with CGI.
I feel the same way about
District 9. While we can argue as to whether or not this is actually "horror," it's undeniable how incredible those special effects are. That could not have been done without the aid of CGI.
I thought that
The Frighteners was a blast and
My Bloody Valentine 3D was the most fun I've had at a horror movie in the theater in a LONG time.
I'm not necessarily sure that CGI is "ruining" the horror genre... I think that, as always, there are good movies and bad, and it's not necessarily the special effects that are to blame.
Can someone list off horror films where CGI "ruined" them? I'm kind of curious about the examples that come with this accusation.
