The Truth is Out There and It Has Bad Aesthetics
Because context actually makes the already great headline even greater:
“I know this is horrible,” del Toro continues. “You sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didn’t want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed. I was with a friend. We bought a six-pack. We didn’t consume it, and there was a place called Cerro del Cuatro, “Mountain of the Four,” on the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, ‘Let’s go to the highway.’ We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, ‘Honk and flash the lights.’ And we started honking.”
The UFO, says del Toro, “Went from 1,000 meters away [to much closer] in less than a second — and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clichéd, with lights [blinking]. It’s so sad: I wish I could reveal they’re not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone.”

the same man that made a movie about making giant robots to fight aliens SAW SOME ALIENS, INSULTED THEIR AESTHETIC, and RAN AWAY SCREAMING
“there is intelligent life out there but it’s really fuckin tacky”
the designs are very accurate to the original models - save for.. whatever that is in the last one, I dunno what that even is - but the red narrowed eyes definitely ruin the aesthetic they had. The first five games in the series had very good renders, and it wasn’t just because the models were high-quality and the lighting was good; part of that was body language, or lack thereof. They never moved their eyebrows, they never moved their eyelids, they hardly ever moved their ears or even their mouths. They looked dead, lifeless, but they moved regardless, and that juxtaposition - as well as the various sounds, the setting, and the mascots themselves - was a big part of the horror. It also meant that, when they did turn to look at you, whether with those dull plastic eyes or with unnatural pinpricks of light in a sudden void, it was that much more terrifying, because they didn’t do that before. It was a change in the pattern, the pattern which already was itself rife with terrifying concepts and implications. Conversely in the trailer, I see eyes moving and eyelids narrowing, Freddy’s eyebrows tilted to a cartoonish 'angry’ expression like in that one render - which isn’t in any of the games, and is just a random one-off piece of promotional material, not even remotely reflective of the way he looks (and he still only moves his eyebrows, his lids are at their usual casual half-mast, making it remain unsettling) - and barely any scenes of them moving like lifeless, possessed machines. The games have had a major problem with losing the horror by characterizing each mascot rather than the spirits acting with the mascots, and I hope the movie returns to the origin of the franchise’s induction of fear and terror, and what made it so popular to begin with.
