CGI may be helpful, as you said, to create smooth transitions and other things impossible to achieve with classical FX. But save for the most expensive ones, CGI still look extremely fake. They don't blend in the surround, nor transmit a sensation for "reality".
As I said, digital FX are good for Avatar, Transformers and so on. For your average-horror-movie... no, thank you.
