gore film genre

Gore films are a subgenre of horror that emphasize graphic, visceral depictions of violence and bodily injury. They focus on creating a visceral, shocking experience through detailed scenes of bloodshed, dismemberment, and trauma. These films often aim to provoke intense reactions like shock, fear, or disgust and are characterized by their explicit visual content. While they can serve as entertainment or artistic expression, gore movies tend to prioritize the depiction of brutality and may challenge viewers with their graphic nature. They are distinct from psychological horror, relying more on visual impact than on atmosphere or storytelling.
