Goofy, ugly, un-scary, and cringe - these horror movies suffered from very bad special effects.
Imagine: You’re in the theater to see a horror movie. Things are ramping up for a big scare. You’re just about spooked out of your mind. The sudden clash of the music cue hits, but instead of something terrifying all you see is a weird, messy digital effect where the movie’s villain should be. It’s the worst thing that could happen to a horror movie , and before the hyper-realistic era of digital effects we’re witnessing now, things were pretty messy.
Computer generated imagery has been used in films for decades — Saul Bass used computer graphics for the opening credits of Alfred Hitchcock’sin 1958 — and has only become more ubiquitous since. More obvious digital imagery was used in sci-fi movies like, some of which look a little hokey now, but were groundbreaking for the time.
For this list, we’ve picked ten of the worst, from warped gummy cat faces to gooey aliens and one hilariously bad stoned caterpillar, that exhibit just how bad CGI can look in an era when movies rely on it more than ever before. Some of these movies are great anyway, but a lot of them are bad, products of an era that put technology over quality. Read on for a celebration of the worst, and don’t stop your car in the middle of a herd of murderous deer.
