20 Gory Movie Moments That Left Horror Fans Cheering
Oh yes, there will be blood.
The appeal of movies like Star Wars and anything in the MCU is fairly obvious: lighthearted blockbusters will never grow old, since the range of audiences partial to those kinds of films is all-encompassing.
However, there are other films out there that only appeal to the most depraved of individuals, or at least those that like to dip their toe into the depravity pool from time to time. Regardless of the psychological motivators for watching violent horror films, it is undeniable that violence (and particularly gore) carries with it a certain fascination. Whether it's fun and cartoonish violence like the Crank films or dark and probing violence like in the Saw series, watching simulated acts of bodily damage is oddly intriguing. It's also difficult to get right.
But when those gory movie moments strike the right balance, the result can leave horror fans around the world cheering in their seats. These perfect, grotty films showcased just enough gore that it pushed the borders of excess, but still felt satisfying as hell.
