Question of the day
In some ways yes but I really liked them better back in the day when yeah the FX may have been cheesy but at least it was the work of an actual FX person not a computer.
I think there was a little more focus on story in older films.Nowadays its lets remake those older films and use some CGI so we don't have to hire an FX crew.
Question of the day
no its only made them more boring.
Question of the day
I think for the most part it has made them btter..things look more believeable, ya know? When someone gets mangled, it looks real...40 years ago that most certainly was no the case. BUT, there is still something to be said for what can't be seen. Sometimes in the older movies when they don't show you what is happening, they let you use your own imagination, you could scare the crap out of yourself
Question of the day
I think technology is good. We just need producers to actually incorporate today's technology with F/X and good NEW ideas. Unfortunately, it seems like many people in the film industry are afraid to do anything different
Question of the day
I agree! I swear, for awhile there, it seems like every movie had that affect where the ghost moves super fast, but in broken movements...It was in House on Haunted Hill, Thirteen Ghosts, just to name a couple...the first time I saw it, I was like "woah"...but then it was just boring...
Question of the day
I dont like it give me latex or give me death! but not from a computer I have seen quite enough of that!
Question of the day
It depends. The advent of digital cinema has indeed made film, not just horror, more interesting because it allows nearly anyone to have a quality tool that can be manipulated to make a quality product. It doesn't level the playing field, but gives the opportunity to get into the game. As for CGI.... people are still trying to figure out how to use it to portray reality, some have failed, some have had huge success creating entire (armies,worlds, you name it) entities. That being said, I have always enjoyed the look of animitronics, puppets, or models. So its a matter of personal taste. Its not killing horror movies, bad scripts/bad acting/bad budgets are whats killing horror movies, and all of these have been killing it (or paradoxically making it worthwhile) for years.
Question of the day
personally, i like some aspects of the technology they use now. i really like the whole jerky fast movement of the ghosts they've been using recently. for example, the grudge when shes coming down the stairs or in house on haunted hill with the creepy doctor guy on the survellance camera. I like that type of thing cos i think its really freaky. but i liked the older movies too. and some older movies i like more than the new ones no matter what type of effects they use. but overall, i think the technology is a good thing just because it does make it look real, and making it real is what makes it scary. however there is a valid point about the storyline taking a backseat. i guess we just need to find a happy medium.
Question of the day
I don't know, CGI has really gotten on my nerves lately. However, i agree that certain aspects of film editing and camera lighting has changed to better enhance the genre. BUT, I MISS MY CLAYAMATION AND LATEX. Things like this have really made me miss SAVINI style special affects. There is just something about scenes from the Evil Dead (claymation) or how about the exploding head in Scanners. The classics didn't need such special effects in theire day and y should the new breed.
