10 God-Awful Scenes In Otherwise Perfect Horror Movies
10. Let The Right One In: The Cat Attack
2019's Cats wasn't the first time these wonderful, much-loved feline creatures who are probably man's second-best friend (after dogs, of course) were appallingly represented with godawful CGI. The same thing happened in the Swedish horror film Let the Right One In.
In this scene, a gang of house cats attack an unfortunate woman (Ika Nord) who has been turned into a vampire, and this moment truly is howlingly awful. Not only are the special effects risible, but the whole thing is just an unintentionally hilarious mistake that'll only have viewers rolling their eyes.
If you switched this scene on out of context, you'd think you were watching a schlocky B-Movie in the vein of Birdermic: Shock and Terror. In fact, Let the Right One In is a modern horror masterpiece; a rich, beautiful and emotionally shattering affair that is arguably one of the very, very best horror films of the 21st century. This scene is simply a very bizarre outlier in what is otherwise a mature and captivating work.
The film's surprisingly excellent American remake, Let Me In, also had some iffy CGI moments but thankfully nothing quite as bad as this.
