So I know everyone here has seen monster movies were they show you quick glimpses through the eyes of the monster. More often than not these first person views are just down right strange or idiotic. I wonder sometimes how the creature is even supposed to find its prey considering its eye sight so wierd and screwed up. So im curious, what movies have you seen with bizzare first person views through the eyes of a monster.

Predator- everyone knows this one. Heat vision through most of it which is cool until he takes the mask off, then everything turns red. How is that thing supposed to see anything like that, let alone be highly advanced.
Pinata- Sci-fi channel movie. If i remeber right  its like looking through a red and orange triangle.
Pitch Black- More realistic interpertation of  what its like to see through a creatures eyes.
Wolfen-There eye sight kinda looks like badly exposed film.

The only ones coming to mind right now are An American Werewolf in London and It Came From Outer Space. I don't think either of those were altered, though.

So, uh, glad I could help?

LOL!  I thought this thread was about the old show "MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs" on TNT.  I used to love that show.  Joe Bob would get more and more drunk as the horror movie du jour wore on.  The best is when they did The Exorcist and he was complaining about all the stuff they had to cut out of the movie just so they could show it on TNT.

I miss this show big time... :bluesad:

Other than that I have nothing to add to the thread.   :tongueout:

well if it was born like that i dont see it as being obstructed vision because it is its OWN vision. know what i mean? of course it would be hard to see for you because you arent use to it, but if you were born seeing like that you would be able to get a better understanding of what your actually looking at.

Not really altered, but good POV shots in ROBOCOP, THE TERMINATOR and WESTWORLD.  One of my favorites in THE TERMINATOR was when he was in the police station/

I was thinking the same thing.   :bouncegiggle:


But yeah, I agree with Ulthar about Terminator. 

And I think there's one in Toxic Avenger, but I'd have to rewatch it.

A goofy giant snake movie I watched the other night called MegaSnake had some funky snake-cam, with things clear and focused in the middle, but blurry on the sides, which I suppose means the snake had crappy peripheral vision.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

All I can think of are: Night of the Demon (1980), Tenebrae, and Creatures From the Abyss.

CAT'S EYE I remember someone said something about it being good because it didn't have a weird monster-vision filter

The spheres from Phantasm had the weird red radar thing years before predator did :teddyr: not sure if it was kept in the sequels, I'm pretty sure part 2 did it.

For the latest on the fifth installment in Don Coscarelli's Phantasm saga.

SNOWBEAST has lots of monster POV shots, but I think it's mainly an attempt to show the lousy costume as little as possible. The best Snowbeast POV shots includes the ski pole potruding from his chest.  :thumbup: for continuity!

Like most monsters and androids, Snowbeast suffers from a terrible eye condition that creates a fuzzy, red corona around his field of vision.
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.
