For Gore Hounds Everywhere... Cerebral or Violent Shockers.
A work in progress. Inspired by a list I read whilst looking for the details of an old shot-on-video slasher from the 80's (it was '555').
I wondered if I could do better than the many (many many) gore lists I found on IMDb? Some of these films fuck with your head, some of these films fuck with your stomach, some might want to make you say fuck-it to the future and some may very well fuck up your soul.

- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigSheri Moon ZombieBill MoseleyThe murderous, backwoods Firefly family take to the road to escape the vengeful Sheriff Wydell, who is not afraid of being as ruthless as his target.A Rob Zombie Classic. Go with the uncut version every time.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsDennis HopperCaroline WilliamsJim SiedowA radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas marshal hunts them.Dennis Hopper at his Craaazy best. My personal fave of the originals. This film gave me a true love of Chilli Con Carne and led me to be always searching for a perfect recipe...
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.The original...
- DirectorIsao TakahataStarsTsutomu TatsumiAyano ShiraishiAkemi YamaguchiA young boy and his little sister struggle to survive in Japan during World War II.The Studio Ghibli 'feel bad' movie. While not exactly a horror film this is so nihilistic that I'm sure people have commited suicide after watching it. Personally I cried for days and now have PTSD. I only ever watched it once.
- DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.The Japanese classic about children slaughtering children. Far more fun than I make it sound.
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigKaren BlackBill MoseleyTwo young couples traveling across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends of murder end up as prisoners of a bizarre and sadistic backwater family of serial killers.Prequel literally and figuratively to The Devils Rejects. This is the film that first let Captain Spaulding and the Firefly family loose. Very much inspired by Tobe Hooper's TCM.

- DirectorSteven R. MonroeStarsSarah ButlerJeff BransonAndrew HowardA writer who is brutalized during her cabin retreat seeks revenge on her attackers, who left her for dead.The remake for people that want more rape and more violent rape than the original. I lost count of how many times the protagonist was raped. Some people have called this film misogynistic.
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.So realistic that the director had to go to court to prove that one of the actresses was still alive.

- DirectorTim SullivanStarsRobert EnglundLin ShayeGiuseppe AndrewsEight college students travelling to Florida for Spring Break stumble into a remote town in Georgia, where they are set upon by the residents.Carnies on the rampage... The sequels not so much so.

She starts killing for him to revitalize his body and escape the demonic beings that are pursuing him after he escaped their underworld.The Clive Barker classic famously based on his short 'The Hellbound Heart' in his 'Books of Blood' anthology fiction series. Obviously introduced 'Pinhead' to the cinematic universe.
Hey Hollywood, while I'm here, listen up! I'm still waiting for that Freddy vs Jason vs Michael vs Ash vs Pinhead vs Leatherface vs Nic Cage movie that's been sitting on someone's desk waiting to be greenlit. Greenlight it, give me Eli Roth and Robert Rodriguez and I'll get it funded and made. I promise! - DirectorTony RandelStarsDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty is brought to an institution after the horrible events of Hellraiser (1987), where the occult-obsessive head doctor resurrects Julia and unleashes the Cenobites and their demonic underworld.The actual sequel to the original (unlike the 4817 sequels that followed it.
Fun fact: There were so many sequels following on from this, and Clive Barker's original classic that they actually stopped bothering to number them. (Or they ran out of numbers?) Or so many were made in the following years to cash in on the Hellraiser name that the different directors shot each other in a rage during a meeting to decide which film deserved which follow-on number. Further directors stopped numbering them in honor of the previous deceased directors. Hence the reason that all the sequels only have subtitles unlike the (pre-reboot) Halloween and Friday the Thirteenth sequels.
If you want to find out what happened to Kirsty Cotton following the originals' ending this is well worth watching. - DirectorGreg McLeanStarsNathan PhillipsCassandra MagrathKestie MorassiThree backpackers stranded in the Australian outback are plunged inside a hellish nightmare of insufferable torture by a sadistic psychopathic local.Australian torture porn.

If you enjoy it, you're definitely going to Hell you sick fucker.

So much homage it's like watching found film footage of a found film footage of a found film footage film. Some might even call it plagiarism! C'mon Eli, we know you can do better. The beginning is obviously a direct copy of Holocaust's beginning! I'm surprised Riz Ortolani wasn't asked to score this film...
