In today's film world we see more and more of over the top special effects. Whether they be in superhero, action, horror, or other film genres, special effects have definitely taken over a large part of films.
Do you believe that films rely too heavily on special effects now?
Is it possible that the large amount of special effects are used to hide a lack of story and plot?
Yes I definitely agree if we are talking about the horror movie genre! New movies like The Conjuring don't even have an original plot, that one specifically is a mash up of The Amityville Horror and The Exorcist. They just used extreme special effects to cover it up. I also think that people have become more obsessed with explosions and fantasy worlds rather than complex plot and characters.
