Rotten Tomatoes Score: 38% Blood Feastis the one that started it all. The original "splatter film" was not a good movie, and critics made sure people knew that. However, when you are the first to do something, quality doesn't matter. The spectacle is enough to fill the seats. Before the Sixties, a film's draw was rarely in its depiction of violence...

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86% George A. Romero, the trailblazer of the zombie horror genre, might have been one of the first filmmakers to describe his work as "splatter." Day of the Deadis splatter, but with the social themes that Romero can integrate, maybe it should be called "elevated splatter." Day of the Dead is a showcase for Romero and effects...
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89% Peter Jackson has an incredibly diverse filmography. Just take his earlier work, for example. Braindead (or Dead Alive) chronicles a zombie outbreak that could have been avoided if a particular mom had minded her business. An infected monkey bites Vera (Elizabeth Moody) after spying on her son Lionel (Timothy Balme) while...
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96% Compared to other splatter films, there is very little on-screen blood in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, Psycho. There are only two on-screen deaths. At the time, though, even that amount of violence was gratuitous, and the implied sexuality was scandalous. Lack of blood aside, there is a direct link between Psycho and m...
