  • welcome to watch Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

  • Horror movie effects that did not age well for this list will be looking at special effects from popular horror movies that look less than optimal these days.

  • What is your favorite horror movie?

  • Let us know in the comments below Now onto the countdown, which we hope ages better than these horror film special effects.

  • Here we G o Number 10, The Deer the Ring to You Have to Do This.

  • No one was really asking for a sequel to the Ring, but we got one anyway in 2005.

  • Most people tend to ignore it, while the first movie contains some genuinely good filmmaking, the ring to contains horrible CG idea that pretty much suck any semblance of tension or fear from the scene in question.

  • Go drive, drive.

  • Just don't stop the car.

  • The deer are attracted to Samaras presence, and they proceed to attack Rachel's car, complete with kamikaze dear that barrels straight into the hood at fast speed.

  • Yeah, the concept of the scene is fairly ludicrous, but even more embarrassing are the C G I dear.

  • They look horrible and even by 2005, standards are pretty shoddy anyway.

  • Number nine.

  • The liquor resident Evil Liquors.

  • They're some of the most popular enemies in the resident evil Siri's and one was included in the 2002 movie adaptation.

  • However early 2000 C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • Is notoriously poor, and time certainly hasn't been kind to this creature.

  • There are some decent close ups where the liquor is obviously made from practical effects.

  • But the filmmakers employed C G I for all the full body shots, and the visual effects looked like they were ripped straight from the video game itself on.

  • No, that is definitely not a good thing.

  • It's always lame when the final boss and climactic action sequence revolves around an unconvincing CG creation.

  • Number eight.

  • The Infected.

  • I am legend for a movie with a huge budget.

  • We expected better visual effects than this.

  • Most of the New York stuff looks fantastic, but the infected mutants, officially known as dark seekers look borderline bad.

  • The mutants were originally portrayed by actors wearing prosthetics, but director Francis Lawrence scrapped the idea one week into filming and decided to utilize motion capture instead.

  • It's pretty telling that Gollum, who debuted five years before this movie was released, looked better than the dark seekers there, obviously, CG creations.

  • And they look quite awful standing next to Will Smith.

  • The Faces alone looked like something out of a PS two game.

  • E number seven Werewolf transformation.

  • Van Helsing.

  • Okay, most of the C G I stuff from Van Helsing looks quite iffy today, including the werewolf transformation.

  • Back in 1981 John Landis released an American Werewolf in London, which is still seen as the benchmark for werewolf transformation effects.

  • It certainly looks better than this.

  • Vulcan transforms directly in front of Anna.

  • And while the initial freak out and wall climb is quite effective, things go off the rails once Vulcan actually starts to change.

  • Theo transformation from human to computer effect is quite obvious and jarring, and Wolf itself is certainly not convincing that melting skin is just not good.

  • It is some good music, though.

  • Number six.

  • The Creatures.

  • The Thing, John Carpenter's 1982 original contains some of the greatest practical effects ever put to film.

  • The remake looks considerably worse.

  • Despite being made decades later, the remake actually used practical effects to beam or in keeping with the iconic original.

  • But these were replaced by C.

  • G.

  • I in post production.

  • And while the design of the creatures is terrific, the C G lets the imagination down by being so thoroughly man.

  • Not much about them looks good, including the video gamey faces, low textures and waxy lighting.

  • Things could have been a great prequel if they just spend a couple of more months in post clearing up the effects.

  • As it stands, it's a far inferior product that was mostly ignored.

  • Number five.

  • Freddie Spies on Nancy A Nightmare on Elm Street We hate to keep saying that the oldies air better, but the oldies air better.

  • Why are you screaming?

  • They haven't even cut you yet.

  • The 2010 nightmare on Elm Street remake was widely maligned.

  • Even Robert Englund got in on the dissing by criticizing the makeup effects.

  • But that wasn't the movies on Lee problem.

  • In one sequence, recreated from the original, Freddie appears out of the bedroom wall to spy on Nancy.

  • In the original, Freddie simply hovers over the bed.

  • In the remake, he full on emerges from the wall, bends his way to Nancy's right and opens his mouth and an unintentionally hilarious Grau.

  • Everything about the sequence looks kind of ridiculous, including the little knives that shoot out of the wallpaper was C.

  • G I.

  • The death knell for horror number four Corridor Chase Alien three.

  • Mostly everyone ignores Alien three, including James Cameron and even David Fincher himself, who has since disowned the film.

  • Part of its reputation stems from the dark and dreary story, and part of it comes from the horrible visual effects on display.

  • Most of the C G.

  • I looks lame today, as does most C G I from the early nineties, especially in the corridor chase with David.

  • The scene features some genuinely impressive camerawork and sound design, but virtually all tension dissipates once the alien comes on screen.

  • Theo composition and lighting integration is off, and the alien moves in such a hilariously Jiang Qi manner that it's hard to take it seriously.

  • Maybe this look good in 1992 but it's fairly laughable today.

  • Number three Michael C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • Mask Halloween H 2020 years later, this may have been the best Halloween sequel, but it contains the most embarrassing sequence in the entire franchise.

  • When Michael appears to Charles, he is sporting a very obvious CG mask.

  • The theme Ask is on Lee on screen for about a second, but it's enough.

  • While there are multiple explanations floated for this usage, one claim is that the original mask used in the scene received a poor reception from test audiences.

  • So the decision was made to digitally recreate the iconic mask from the first movie.

  • If so, it wasn't the right decision.

  • Late 90 c.

  • G.

  • I was bad enough, but it's made even worse when plastered over the face of a live action actor.

  • It's Halloween.

  • I guess everyone is entitled to one good scare.

  • Number two.

  • Samuel L.

  • Jackson's famous death Deep Blue Sea.

  • You wouldn't get that close if I were you.

  • Just a suggestion.

  • This shark movie is mostly known for the iconic scene in which Samuel L.

  • Jackson has killed mid inspirational speech, its both shocking and hilarious, and has rightly earned its place on the most unexpected movie deaths of all time list.

  • But it also yeah, we're saying it looks really, really bad.

  • That's enough now from all of you.

  • Granted, most people can overlook the poor visual effects owing to deep blue Seas status as a cheesy B movie.

  • But everything about this death looks horrid today, including this shark, the mauled Samuel L.

  • Jackson figure, and the splashing water we're gonna CEO.

  • Even when the shark retreats, it goes back under the water in the most unrealistic and unconvincing fashion imaginable.

  • This was a fantastic idea, nearly ruined by horrible execution.

  • Just Tatum to stadium crisis.

  • Number one.

  • The whole movie Cats, cats be considered a horror movie?

  • Not really, but it's visual effects with scariest thing we saw in 2019.

  • Okay, okay, we're just kidding.

  • Onto the rial.

  • Number one.

  • Number one Shark explosion Jaws three D Yea, more sharks, damn shocks.

  • Things may genuinely be one of the worst movies ever made, but even if that's not the case, the entire climax with the shark attacking the station may be the worst looking sequence ever put to film.

  • Theo Entire Thing looks almost like a school project, complete with the poorly composed, floating shark shattering glass and the hilarious way the shark breaks all semblance of physics and stops moving after hitting the pain.

  • The explosion is even worse, complete with computer blood and dreadful organs that air blown towards the camera.

  • It is pure schlock and unworthy of the legacy of the original legendary Jaws.
