Yeah, special effects are anything done in camera (animatronics, prosthetics, makeup, lighting, puppets, optical trickery, sets, props, explosions, fire, etc).
Exactly this, I sometimes have nostalgia for monster movies and will put this on.
Visual FX were apparently done in really tight time line and they couldn't use flubber simulation they were developing etc.
The part I'll always remember about watching Deep Blue Sea in theatres on opening weekend is that both my date at the time and myself were adamantly rooting for LL Cool J's character the entire way. Poor dude lost his parrot. Seemed destined to get sacrificed because that's always what happens to brothers in these movies. The euphoria that we had as he somehow survived and Saffron Burrows wound up fish chow instead (deservedly given her character's role in things) cannot be overstated. We left that film in such great spirits which is wild seeing how we'd just spent two hours watching people get mauled by sharks. But LL lived and that made it awesome!
I mean they literally referenced that trope in the film.
I said not too cheesy. So it is a little bit cheesy in my opinion 😬I'm comparing it to Sky Scraper. Man this movie is so bad and cheesy as hell 🤦
Sorry to nitpick here but the sweater in the linked picture is long sleeve and not as tight/sexy as the one in the poster. These are different outfits.
The mist was so good! Damn that ending was heartbreaking!
