6 Non-CG Movie Creatures That Will Give You Nightmares

Since the inception of CG into science fiction, fantasy, and horror films, movie creatures and creature design has taken a hit. That statement is not meant to disrespect any of the current slew of very talented CG artists out there today, but there is just something unnatural about shiny, CG monsters. They never have a real sense of physics to them. They always just ends up feeling like Roger Rabbit to me. Like someone carefully mixed animation and real acting to try to make one, fluid experience.

Goblum Fly – The Fly (Remake)

David Cronenberg’s The Fly remake seemed like such a silly idea on paper. If you had seen the campy original, there was no way to envision the fly creature actually somehow being disturbing and scary. Then we actually see the movie, and end up getting one of the goriest, nastiest body horror flicks ever.

Big props to Jeff Goldblum for an impeccable and disturbing performance. You believe this man is turning into an insect, and everything that goes along with it is disgusting yet seems so real.

From puking on the dude’s hand to pulling out teeth and tearing through his own skin, the Fly is a fucking terrifying monstrosity that somehow should not work on film, yet completely does. This movie is the reason I will NOT eat something a fly has landed on. Because now, I know what they do.

Great creature, though, and great movie.
