12 Terrible CGI Moments In High Budget Movies

The Twilight movies all featured their share of wince-inducing CGI, but the series sure saved the worst for last with this obscenely creepy approximation of a human baby supposed to be the product of Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward's (Robert Pattinson) rutting.

Originally, their child Renesmee was intended to be a practical animatronic, but after shooting scenes with the utterly frightening doll, it was decided to go the digital route instead.

Sadly the end result wasn't really any less terrifying, with its overly luminous skin proving not a touch convincing, and as is so often a problem with CGI people, the eyes look completely lifeless.

This is pure nightmare fuel, and while it added to the film's so-bad-it's-good factor, it was an undeniable failure of artistic intent.
