With the upcoming release of the horror film “The Conjuring,” I decided to make a list of the top 5 bloodiest movies in the history of cinema. This list will focus exclusively on the disturbing amount of blood that appears on a screen and not on the level of fear or suspense that it provokes. Be it bad, obscure, or unsettling, this list is about blood, thick curdling hoses of blood. Here are the 5 bloodiest movies that are sure to make anyone that watches them vomit from disgust.

 5. The Wizard of Gore (Herschell Gordon Lewis, 1970)
Known as the Godfather of Gore, filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis, saw himself back in the 60’s obliged to create bloody films in order to attract audiences to the movie theaters… and he achieved it. If you have seen any of his films, you would know how revolting they are. In his masterpiece “The Wizard of Gore,” he exhibits the apogee of his talents. The experience is one of the most bloodiest and repugnant ever committed to cinema.

Plot: A TV talk-show hostess and her boyfriend investigate a shady magician whom has the ability to hypnotize and control the thoughts of people in order to stage gory on-stage illusions using his powers of mind bending.

4. Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood (Hideshi Hino, 1985)
Mutilations, dismemberments, and bowel removals is what you can expect from this twisted film. The sequel from Japanese films “Guinea Pig,” premiered in the 80s. The series became popular with the underground filmgoers for their violently explicit graphics. The film is so graphic and bloody, that the actor Charlie Sheen called the FBI to accuse to director of murder. The film supposedly served as the inspiration behind serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki’s real life murders. Today in Japan, it is illegal to produce any movie with the title of “Guinea Pig.”

Plot: A woman walking home late at night is attacked by an unknown assailant who knocks her out with chloroform. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself tied to a bed in a blood- spattered dungeon, at the mercy of a white-faced man in a samurai helmet who wants to turn her into a “flower of blood and flesh.” He then proceeds to slowly dismember and disembowel her as the camera records it all.

3. Ichi the Killer (Takashi Miike, 2001)
Have you seen brutal beatings and scarring moments look so real, that you have to question how anyone make such horror? This and much more is what awaits the viewer who has the courage to see in front of what many consider the bloodiest film in Japanese cinema. You have to ask yourself if director Takashi Miike, also known for his other extremist film “Audition,” is mentally unstable for concocting and shooting such a twisted film.  In any case, diehard fanatics consider this film a must see within the torture genre.

Plot: As sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer Kakihara searches for his missing boss he comes across Ichi, a repressed and psychotic killer who may be able to inflict levels of pain that Kakihara has only dreamed of.

2. Evil Dead (Fede Alvarez, 2013)
This remake, directed by the Uruguayan Fede Alvarez, is considered the bloodiest studio film in cinema. In an interview I had with Alvarez, he said: “I don’t think it’s the goriest movie of 2013… I think it’s the goriest movie of the last 10 years for a wide studio release. There has never been anything so hard and graphic and brutal like this movie. I’m talking about a studio release, not an independent, unrated, DVD movie but for a studio movie with a wide release it’s never been done. It’s really not me saying it. This is a fact. When you run into a problem with the MPAA trying to get it R-rated you realize how much you’ve pushed the boundaries.” Evil Dead used 50 gallons of fake blood throughout the production which is excellently combined with suspense, fright and humor.

Plot: Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. The evil presence possesses them until only one is left to fight for survival.

1. Dead Alive (Peter Jackson, 1992)
This is the film that is popularly regarded as the bloodiest movie in history. Before he was known for the film series “The Lord of the Rings”, the fourth film that Peter Jackson directed was “Dead Alive,” known as “Braindead” in Europe. The story line is garbage, but as far as blood is concerned, this film is tops! It holds the record for most fake blood used in a film production, nearly 80 gallons, 30 more than the remake of EVIL DEAD.  There’s not many scares here, just very funny, gory sequences. But it has blood, and tons of it. 21 years after its premiere, it is now a cult status film.

Plot: A young man’s mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey. She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.

Are there any movies you think are bloodier than these? Please let me know in the comments section and I just might revise the article.

    80 gallons of fake blood for Dead Alive, huh? Is that more than what Kubrick used in The Shining? That may be debatable.

      That one scene in The Shining was a deluge of blood, but it was only one scene and blood wasn’t used throughout the film, like the new EVIL DEAD or DEAD ALIVE. I also considered the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Johnny Depp bedroom scene, but again it was a case of one scene that didn’t reach more than 20 gallons of the liquid red.

    Murder, Set, Pieces I believe, is regarded as the ultimate, all-time most violent and gory film ever made. I think it is banned in many countries.

      Thanks for the tip. I’ll take a look at this one.

      No way man. Dead alive is the goriest film ever made and for most violent and or disturbing, I would give that to A Serbian Film.

      Yes…banned in most countries. Unfortunately.

    The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre has to be among the top 10. Unlike most of the genre, it has been regarded by top film critics as realistic and well-made.

      Correct, but we’re focusing on the AMOUNT of blood, not how well made or scary a movie is. For this list, we’re not judging the craft of filmmaking, but the blood exposed to viewers.

        Michael Boffa

        Then why is the new evil dead on here… doesn’t make sense, the shining should be on here then. There was like a river of blood in that movie…

          The Shining was one scene that never reached 50 gallons of blood, unlike Dead Alive and Evil Dead. It look more like 10 gallons.

          Th ending of the EVIL DEAD remake was blood rain pouring to what seemed hours!

    Wrong information, Dead Alive used 1,000 gallons of fake blood, Evil Dead used over 50,000 gallons of fake blood, Evil Dead 2013 should be the Top 1.

    • August 12, 2013

      Jack Rico

      I’ll change it if you give me a credible source. We looked it up and Dead Alive used more. We also interviewed Fede Alvarez and he said around 25.

    • January 30, 2015

      Send me the link with that info and I’ll only change it then.

    Plus another movie thats horror based where these people get killed in a warehouse…dvd cover has a hook on the front of it but I cant remember the name but its gory!

    Ryndan Riley

    Are you sure your quantities are right? I read somewhere that kill bill used a lot more than that. Like over 400 gallons. Maybe thats including all the unused takes?

    This can’t be accurate. Go to IMDb and type in Evil Dead(2013) and go to the Trivia section. The first thing it states is the amount of fake blood they used is 70,000 gallons of blood throughout the entire film! And in a interview, Fede Alvarez said they used 50,000 gallons of fake blood in the final scene alone.

    This is compared to the original Evil Dead’s 200-300 gallons of blood used ! Please check your information!

      Evil dead fanboy

      Agreed. There is a single scene in Evil Dead (2013) that uses 50,000 gallons alone. 70,000 in total. MUCH MORE than dead alive… :/
