I cannot believe how this movie ...


has a few stop motion ridiculous effects ... unique and weird and interesting I'll grant, but to be generating comments about how good the movie is based on some creepy effects is even more creepy than the movie.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? Everytime I see you post it's either to complain, be vile or intolerant toward someone or someone's opinion/statement.

What do you think this is a sign of?

Hmmmm... enlighten me please?! XD

You should take into account the time period the film was made and how ground breaking this truly was.

I don't mind the visuals.. the story is great! Hitchcock films also tend to have sketchy moments.. but I still love the characters and situations.

reply

For me also. I love the story filled with paranoia and claustrophobia far above any effect. RJ Macready is one of my favorite characters in film also.

reply

and to be fair.. the scene where the entire crew gathers around the "Bennings-Thing" which is halfway complete.. and MacReady burns it while hearing that HORRIFIC noise..

it's 10/10 for any time period.

reply

It's a good suspense horror movie. Cry some more..

Do you think they should redo the effects with CGI?

reply

wrong

Practical effects for me any day of the week.
