10 Horror Movies Ruined By Bad CGI – WhatCulture

Horror is a genre where the bad far outweighs the good. Even if a scary film has a great premise there are so many factors that can let it down, such as lame acting, blatant plotholes, annoying characters, or cheap jump-scares.

But one element that lets down so many horror films is poor special effects. Even with the best prosthetics and costumes, it's difficult to make a monster or a gory effect look right when you throw wonky CG into the mix.

But this shouldn't be a problem anymore, right? Now that CGI is the norm, filmmakers don't need to spend a painstaking amount of time setting up blood squibs or creating a realistic animatronic. They can just create whatever special effect they need inside a computer.

Well, even with the major advances in movie technology, it feels like the special effects of today are getting worse. In many cases, computer-generated imagery looks less realistic than the effects used in horror flicks from half a century ago.

And we're not talking about a moment in a movie that looks a little dodgy. We're looking at CGI that is so unconvincing, it ruins the entire movie...
