I recall a horror movie featuring a human-like creature/monster that moved under the surface of the building, walls, carpets, and even the kitchen sink, causing the plates to fall to the ground. Actually I did not see the whole movie, so I'm not sure about its details, instead I saw a "special-effects" show several years ago that investigated the 3D effects used in the film.
Can you help find it? I've not seen such creatures in any other movies.
That's not really a lot to go on, but it sounds like the opening to The Frighteners - a movie by Peter Jackson.
You can watch the opening sequence at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApZ5wmaQcVE - the special effects become apparent at about 1:20
It's a pretty good film - with some excellent turns by Jeffrey Combs and Michael J Fox, and has some really funny moments thanks to Jackson's writing/directing.
Thinking about it, and I do remember that there was a "special-effects" behind the scenes doco made for this movie - which was what made me want to watch it in the first place
It could be Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. There's a dream sequence where the walls and floors ripple and burst as if some horrible Bugs Bunny were burrowing underneath.
