“Alien”
One of the most famous and disturbing death scenes in film history didn”t skimp on the blood when an alien burst from John Hurt”s chest in the middle of dinner, shocking the characters, as well as millions of moviegoers. It”s so memorably graphic that people are still talking about it to this day.

“Planet Terror”
Robert Rodriguez”s homage to the grindhouse flicks of the “70s brought gallons of blood and some of the most graphic death scenes ever committed to celluloid, including, but not limited to, a child shooting his face off, a man melting before vomiting his intestines and a head being split in half.
The “Final Destination” Franchise
Take your pick from this legendary death reel. Whether it”s two hot girls being burned alive in tanning beds, a head coming off between elevator doors or just a good old fashioned splatter from a bus, if you want to see some super creative deaths, give these movies a watch.
“Slither”
“Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn”s horror opus was no slouch when it came to gross-out moments. A man gets split in half, another mutates into a tentacle monster and a woman eats until she explodes. Just another day in horror land.
“Dredd”
It might not be a horror film, but this shoot “em up showcased so much blood that it deserves a place on this list. From the opening scene, in which a man”s head melts, to the final villain death – which should not be ruined – this is one bloody good time.
“Evil Dead”
Say what you will about remakes, but this reimagining of the horror legend brought gallons of gore to the party. Tongues are split, arms are sawed off and viewers are grossed out.
“Django Unchained”
As long as we”re mentioning non-horror bloodbaths, let”s talk Quentin Tarantino”s western revenge flick with so much blood spraying from every corpse, that you”ll worry about the victims” blood pressure.
