10 More Awful Horror Movies With Incredible Special Effects
10. Army Of The Dead
After Zack Snyder's tenure in the DC Extended Universe came to a close, the Man of Steel director created a spiritual successor of his directorial debut, Dawn of the Dead. Despite the hype, however, Army of the Dead didn't recapture the magic of its predecessor. Due to its bloated run-time, underdeveloped characters, and lack of pay-offs, this zombie thriller was a major misfire.
This is extra disappointing, since the filmmakers went through hell during production. After a key cast member was fired, filming underwent extensive (and terribly expensive) reshoots. Using a mix of CGI and green-screen, the original actor was digitally replaced with Tig Notaro.
Now, it's obvious the scenes of Notaro by herself were filmed during reshoots. However, she's digitally integrated into the group shots seamlessly, to the point where it's almost unnoticeable.
Though these visuals would've been easier if Notaro and the camera were stationary, she is inserted into some of the most complex sequences, including the Avengers-inspired 360-degree shot.
In the hands of an amateur, Notaro's inclusion could've been distracting. Luckily, her scenes are handled so well, it's easy to forget she didn't spend a single day on set during the original shoot.
