I seem to love horror movies from before my time. They were the best.

I think the acting ability varies the same in each period. But I do like the more natural acting and more varied shots of the modern films, where appropriate. |

Same with CGI effects today. Some look really good and some are so obviously computer graphics.

Then I think of 'The Thing 82' where the practical effects are more effective and scarier than any modern CGI monster effects I've yet seen. There's still something about an actual physical presence, though on film, that is weighty and creepy; and CGI has yet to capture that well enough. The great thing about modern CGI is the engrossing photorealistic background settings. The giant (background) mattes of the past were great, but modern CGI worlds have been increasingly more interactive with the characters. |

Yeah I agree and I think about the original Night of the Living Dead vs Dawn of the Dead. NotLD was in black and white which really worked in the movie's favor. If it was in color I imagine the zombie make-up would have looked less realistic and it would have been laughable. Even though Dawn of the Dead was a classic you have to admit that the zombie make-up looked unrealistic as fuck. They looked like a bunch of blue smurfs. Then came Day of the Dead and you could tell Tom Savini put a lot of extra work into the zombie make-up. They looked realistically rotted with dirty tattered clothes and it was believable that the movie was set a few years after the zombies took over the world. But now in the new zombie movies they seem to use CGI effects for zombies. I miss the old days when they used make-up. Some of the make-up effects looked really good like in Lucio Fulci's Zombie and there were a few slight flaws but that didn't stop me from getting immersed in those movies.

Some of the CGI blood squirts in Walking Dead, and other productions, are just comical. Might as well just throw some sharks flying through the air. |

The way they moved actually felt more realistic to me than Romero's zombies. A lot of the zombies even had eyes that were closed shut and one had eyes that were half-open and unmoving so it was scary how they knew you were there and would hunt you down even though they shouldn't be able to see you. Gotta give props to Fulci's zombies for being great actors in such minor non-speaking roles.

Maybe it's just because of the movie's soundtrack? Oh and I got the original Nosferatu on Bluray today!
