I am not a big fan of the found footage phenomenon, I find it to be annoying and sloppy. But, despite the style, [REC] was really fun to watch. What sold it for me was the pacing. The movie is short, under 80 min, and it is a non stop assault. Once it gets going it just hammers you. Love the fast paced pandemonium.BROWN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14799996749888167942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204117349756994071.post-60162137074193543502011-02-11T22:13:14.044-07:002011-02-11T22:13:14.044-07:00It can look good, but sometimes when they use CGI ...It can look good, but sometimes when they use CGI for stabbings and the like it looks like the knife is floating. But, you're right. It can be used effectively, but when it's not it is so disappointing.Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656600269074433889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204117349756994071.post-74277483072054916482011-02-11T11:51:59.944-07:002011-02-11T11:51:59.944-07:00CGI violence done right is a beautiful thing, espe...CGI violence done right is a beautiful thing, especially in terms of sharp objects penetrating flesh. Of course, it's damned hard to get the gore part of it right, so I think CGI and practical effects go together like flies and the undead.Marvin the Macabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339681552363692948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204117349756994071.post-6896519329149518312011-02-10T15:43:37.379-07:002011-02-10T15:43:37.379-07:00I think you're absolutely correct.

This has made for looser ratings for horror films that can get away with a lot more in an R-rated movie than they used to. While I'm very excited about the current state of horror I do mourn the ever-present use of CGI blood in favor of practical effects, but it's a reality that's not going away. <br />I have a copy of [REC] and haven't gotten to it yet. I have a feeling I'll make some time for it this weekend. You've been selling it pretty hard for a while now.Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656600269074433889noreply@blogger.com
