The Thing from John Carpenter’s classic would be straight-up ruined with CGI! The practical effects in that movie were next level—like, all those gross transformations and body horror moments were so unsettling ‘cause they felt real, you know? If they tried to redo all that with CGI, it’d just look like some video game cutscene. The slimy, gory creepiness of the original would be gone, and that’s what made it so terrifying in the first place. Sometimes the old-school effects hit way harder than digital stuff ever could!
There is a CGI thing movie though.
