10 Most Pointless CGI Movie Shots Ever

2. Michael Myers' Mask - Halloween H20: 20 Years Later

The seventh Halloween movie was actually a pretty decent return to form for the series for the most part, and given how little the franchise has relied on VFX over its tenure, few expected to see noticeable CGI in it.

Surprisingly, the filmmakers were still tinkering around with the new design of the Michael Myers mask even during shooting, and once post-production had been completed, a total of four masks had been used.

If you keep your eyes peeled, you can even pick out shots where earlier iterations of the mask appear - while most of them were replaced in re-shoots - and there's one especially obnoxious moment that occurs when poor Charlie Deveraux (Adam Hann-Byrd) comes face-to-face with Myers.

Because the production wasn't able to re-shoot this scene with the final mask design, a CGI model was instead pasted on top of the rejected practical one, the results of which are absolutely hideous.

Though the shot lasts just a merciful second or two, was this method of problem-solving really preferable to just sticking to the over-the-shoulder shot of Michael and avoiding all that fan outrage?

And no matter how rubbish that original mask looked, it surely wouldn't have been as distractingly bad as this.
