This Scene Proves Practical Effects Can Be Terrifying

    In The Nevers, this is one of the most realistic examples of prosthetic makeup depicting high voltage electrocution and the main reason they cover the head in situations like this. Fun fact: Gore effects artists take the same courses as forensics experts 🤯

    1. I've never watched the show, but based on this short, these people would have been safe.
      People simply do not understand how electricity works.
      1. There has to be to points of contact from the body to the electrical wires.
      2. The electricity needs to travel from one point to the other point.
      3. The two points have to pass through the core of the body to kill.
      4. Electricity always takes the path of least resistance.

      This scene, with electricity only attached to the rail, wouldn't have electrocuted anyone. The rail would get hot, but electricity would only flow through the metal.

      If each hand was attached to each wire, a person could be killed, as the current would flow through the body. But there's no "reason" for it to flow up into the head … that's just extra resistance and it wouldn't go that way.

      I know, I'm being pedantic … but it wouldn't work like this.

    2. This didn't look realistic at all. Movies never get gore correct, especially arterial blood, which looks like a bucket of red paint was spilt on the floor. Red paint has the same color, texture, and consistency as arterial blood.

      Also, last note, gore effects make up artist do not take the same classes as forensic experts. They usually look at crime scene photos or forensic textbooks for research, and they still get it wrong, but this is probably because real it wouldn't look as good on camera.

      But, this is all my opinon as a Combat Medic for almost 2 decades and a current CSI Bachelor's student.
