If there is one thing I've learned about the internet it's that people like: Pictures of cats doing people things, Videos of people who are in pain after doing something stupid and top ten lists.
So I've decided to compile a list of some of the best films that contain a massive amount of gore. Now a few of these films will hail from foreign countries, so if you haven't heard of them that's why.
10. Hostel - This is writer and director Eli Roth's love letter to gore. It's not exactly a great film, but seems like a pretty good starting point for this list.
9. District 9 - Now you maybe asking yourself; Why is District 9 on this list. Well if you've seen the film you might have a pretty good idea of just how much gore is in this film. I never knew that the human body had the same consistence as a water balloon.
8. Ichi the Killer - A film that has become a massive underground success and the primary inspiration for the number 10 spot. While it isn't a good film it's a fitting mediation on the violence and debauchery in film today.
7. Saw - Easily the best of the series and actually the only one I would watch a second time. I know it's not the goriest of the Saw films, but it's pretty much the one that cemented the Torture porn sub-genre. Also it's nice to see Danny Glover out side of Lethal Weapon.
6. Fronti?re(s) - From the director of the terrible Hitman adaptaions comes our first French film on the list...and actually the only one to hit the [NC-17] rating.
5. Audition - While technically made in 1999 it didn't get a real release until 2000. I love this one mostly for it dramatic shift from a romance film into really messed up over the course of the film.
4. Martyrs - Our 2nd French film of the list. To exemplify the content of this film I'll quote one of my friends: "You know how that Hostel film was fun to watch because it's kind of stupid...yeah...well this one it's...just down right depressing and disturbing."
3. Philosophy Of A Knife - This is the goriest film ever made and that is not a hyperbole. Coming in at 5 freakin hours, this film conducts graphic reenactments of torture throughout history...and that's the entire film. It's the only film on the list that I have not seen and have no desire to see.
2. Antichrist - A film coming from the self-proclaimed "Greatest Director EVAR!!!!" is pretty disturbing. It hits the number two spot for one scene in particular that for obvious reasons I will not share here.
1. Inside - Here we are, number one. Inside is pretty much as dark, bloody, and disturbing as one can get. I have a strong stomach for this crap and I still cringed on most of the stuff portrayed here.
Honorable Mention:
Braindead - Peter Jackson needs to come back to horror.
So yeah, that's my list. Feel free to comment on what I got right or wrong.
