For better or worse, thriller movies have evolved to become
much sleeker with new improvements in special effects. If you look back at some
older slashed movies, you’ll notice how much rougher of a cut filmmakers
settled upon because practical effects could only go so far.
There’s also a
lovable characteristic to cheesy character effects though, looking back on
movies like Night Of The Creeps and laughing coyly off at obvious shots of
mannequins with alien slugs crawling out their mouths.
Practical effects have
an undeniable charm, but technological advancements have made it easier to
perfect practical effects in the digital stage, coming together in a way that
creates a picturesque experience.
If anything, the CGI work is a
post-production safety blanket, but it’s a shame that some see terrible
animation as a clear replacement for practical effects. Going the CGI rout can
sometimes be cheaper, but there’s a reason for those practical effects will
ever be replaces, only improved upon.
