A splatter film or gore film is a type of
horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and
graphic violence. These films, through the use of
special effects and excessive blood and guts, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body and the theatricality of its mutilation. Due to their willingness to portray images society might consider shocking, splatter films share some ideological grounds with the
transgressive art movement. The term "splatter cinema" was coined by
George Romero to describe his film
Dawn of the Dead, though it should be noted that Dawn of the Dead is generally considered by critics to have higher aspirations, such as social commentary, than to be simply exploitative for its own sake.
