I grew up in the uncanny valley. My dad's a ventriloquist so dummies don't freak me out the way they do a lot of people.
CGI has never bothered me, either. There are only two times it's bothered me. One was when a dummy head my dad made but never used started rotting so he was going to burn it, but told me I could take the eyes out before he did (I was thinking of building my own dummy at the time). I took it out back, smashed it open, and seeing a human looking head with part of its skull missing was just creepy. The second thing was a youtube video of robot heads chanting "freedom." It looked like someone took the facial skin off of cadavers and draped it over mechanical constructs. It didn't help that they didn't have any sort of bodies, just mechanical heads with loose synthetic skin on a table. |

It isn't just CG; perfectly alive flesh-bearing humans can still project an air of unnervingness.
Case in point: the jerk they got to replace Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K in that MIB 3 film that got mentioned in this thread. ![]() Fucker still makes me want to reach for the panic button.

The uncanny valley is how we tell between regular god-fearing humans and creepy alien dopplegangers. And I'm thankful for it.
