Saw Scanners (1981) directed by David Cronenberg yesterday. Still in the body horror genre, with much more action than the previous films. This time the story is about people with telepathic and telekinetic powers. The story wasn’t as good as The Brood. Still good but just not as good. Where it shines is the action scenes (lots of gunfights) and the special effects. Way better than CGI. 8/10 #nodereviews

I haven't watched that in ages. I should give it a viewing again!
The more movies I watch from before ubiquitous CGI, the more I realize how much artistry has been lost. There was more PoW to make a great scene with practical effects, and I find they hold up better.
I have a theory that they use cgi now because they don’t want us to know how good modern mask technology is now a days
😂
I like it
Mask that disrupts camera but looks like you would be crazy. Easily switch the appearance would be crazy 😂
And comfortable to wear 😂
Not too warm either😂
You can get stocking masks with who anyone’s face on it
Realistic?
That’s all dependent lol
On whether the head has the shape of a full stocking 😂😂😂
Well they definitely only work when you have a hood on and are really only probably good enough to beat cameras & avoiding getting a good description face to face
Stocking mask on and then hood on as well you mean ?
Yeah
Exactly like you said 😂😂😂
This one is 44 years old. The special effects are amazing for a movie so old. Same for The Brood which is 46 years old 😂
Totally agree with you. Good makeup, costumes and handmade effects are hard to beat
