10 CGI Fails That Totally Ruined Recent Movies

On paper, comedy-horror film Studio 666 actually seemed like a lot of fun - the Foo Fighters play scarcely fictionalised versions of themselves who face off against a demonic presence while recording their new album.

It's a fun idea that positions the movie to be a giddy homage to classic horror films such as The Evil Dead and Halloween - hell, John Carpenter even helped compose the score and has a small cameo.

And while the Foo Fighters themselves outside of Dave Grohl aren't exactly the most natural of actors and the script is basically a mess, what really sinks Studio 666 is its unfortunate commitment to some truly wretched CGI.

Whenever the demonic entities appear on-screen, the resulting elemental effects look like terrible Adobe After Effects plug-ins that someone paid a few bucks for at most.

For a film that's mounted as a throwback to campy horror films of decades past, these digital effects feel jarringly out of place, especially next to the movie's far more impressive practical gore effects.

The VFX wouldn't look amiss in a student film posted on YouTube, and not in a fun, self-aware way.
