The Edit

Of Spider-Man 3's many disappointments, nothing left fans crestfallen more than the film's depiction of Venom (Topher Grace).

In addition to director Sam Raimi reducing him to a generic CGI-slathered monster, Topher Grace was totally miscast as Eddie Brock, from his wiry frame down to his totally non-threatening, not-remotely-menacing voice.

But in an attempt to fix the supervillain's vocal register, this edit runs his voice through a digital filter, in turn making him sound decidedly less human.

Did It Work?

Absolutely. Venom immediately sounds so much more like a creepy, alien "other." It's such a simple yet effective edit that it's frankly embarrassing Raimi didn't think to do it himself, because the theatrical version sounds pathetically mild by comparison.
