According to Sam Raimi and effects guy Greg Nicotero, the vast majority of effects were created by KNB creature effects, including ( excellent ) puppet heads, gruesome make-up and so on. Obviously there is going to be some cgi stuff, but nothing major ( or intrusive ) in the way that's seen in most of today's glossy crap. To say it's full of cgi is very misleading, imo.
Like loops, I'm not that bothered about modern horror either, but maybe the success of this will pave the way to a return to 'scary' horror, rather than Saw types and remakes.
I'll certainly be getting the dvd of this, too.
