3D In Horror Movies? Yay or Nay?

So, if you haven't noticed, there's been this 3D craze in the horror industry, I don't know if it's because 3D costs a few dollars extra, or just because these movie makers know a lot of people like 3D movies?

In 2009, My Bloody Valentine 3D started a new type of horror films: 3D


Though, I didn't see anything wrong with My Bloody Valentine 3D, after The Final Destination 3D came out that following August, I was getting sick of 3D horror films. Not the 3D in general, but, the awful quality in the 3D films. The special effects were terribly done with CGI. The blood looked like strawberry syrup, if that says something.


Fortunately or unfortunately, The Final Destination 3D spawned another sequel... in 3D.. but, since it hasn't been released, I won't criticize it.

In 2010, we got the 3D remake of the 70's B-movie Piranha, while the special effects weren't completely bad, the movie was clearly meant to be seen in 3D. Watching the 2D version at home, the special effects were very cartoon-ish, which was a big let down.


Well, in my opinion, 3D movies aren't worth forking out the extra $2.00 because the camera's quality looks awful, the special effects are terrible, and most of them are meant to be seen in 3D, otherwise the movie sucks.

Upcoming 3D horror flicks include Shark Night 3D, Piranha 3DD, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 3D (A remake, not a sequel).
