Looker

''Looker'' is a 1981 American science fiction thriller film written and directed by Michael Crichton, starring Albert Finney, James Coburn, Susan Dey, and Leigh Taylor-Young. It follows a series of mysterious deaths plaguing female models who have undergone cosmetic surgery from a renowned Los Angeles physician. The film explores media, advertising and television's impact on the public in creating a ridiculous standard of beauty.

Though sparse in visual effects, it is the first commercial film to attempt to use a computer-generated, three-dimensional, solid-looking model of a whole human body. However, as with its predecessors ''Futureworld'', ''Star Wars'', and ''Alien'', this was an example of "CGI representing CGI", and only depicted on CRT screens in the film, rather than being used as a special effect. The model had no skeletal or facial movements and was not a character. ''Looker'' was also the first film to create three-dimensional (3D) shading with a computer, months before the release of the better-known ''Tron''. Provided by Wikipedia
