Sometimes all it takes to turn a movie into a "must-see" is one memorable image. Lately, those compelling moments from trailers and ads have been eye-popping digital effects. Like tidal waves cresting over the Himalayas in "2012" or giant robots tumbling down the highway in "Transformers."
This week's horror movie release "The Last Exorcism" has been garnering much attention with a shot just as impressive as anything from a big-budget blockbuster. The trailer ends with the image of a young woman in a nightgown and boots bent over backwards at an impossible angle. It's so memorable and unsettling that the studio used it for the movie's poster. What makes it impressive, though, is that it does not use any special effects. No CGI, no puppets. That shot is actress Ashley Bell bending like that for real.
