Here are the top five goriest horror films to watch (except maybe not before dinner!)<\/p>\n<p>5) Jennifer&#8217;s Body<\/p>\n<p>This 2009 horror flick flew under the radar and was critically panned upon its release. It has since gained a cult following, and has plenty of gory moments. Needy (Amanda Seyfried) is a nerdy bookworm and best friends with Jennifer (Megan Fox), a popular cheerleader. After a botched sacrifice leaves Jennifer with a taste for men&#8217;s flesh, Needy must stop her before it&#8217;s too late. This film expertly portrays female friendships and how complex they are, with an added twist of guts and gore.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jennifer&#039;s Body | Official Trailer | 20th Century FOX\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C8azftM5puI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>4) My Bloody Valentine (2009)<\/p>\n<p>This is a remake of the 1981 film. A slasher centered around a young man named Tom (Jensen Ackles), who returns home to his small town on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine&#8217;s Day massacre. Instead of a warm homecoming, he is instead framed for the murders. This film has plenty of guts and blood as the killer makes a return, terrorizing the town.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) - Official Trailer #2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mJFCJaSr2Xk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>3) Shaun Of The Dead<\/p>\n<p>A more light-hearted film on this list, Shaun Of The Dead is still gory. When Shaun (Simon Pegg) finds himself with no direction in life, a zombie apocalypse happens. Now, with the people he loves and grudgingly accepts &#8211; Shaun must protect them in the safest place he knows: The Winchester, which is a local pub. It&#8217;s not as gory as the previous two, but when the guts start to fly, it goes all out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shaun of the Dead Official Trailer #1 - Simon Pegg Movie (2004) HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LIfcaZ4pC-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>2) Scream<\/p>\n<p>This film is a love-letter to and reinvented the horror genre. After her mother is murdered a year prior, Sidney (Neve Campbell) realises that the murders are happening again, and someone took their love of horror films too far. This is a slasher, with killing left, right and center. There is a murder in the first five minutes of the film, and the blood does not stop flowing during the hour and 40 minute runtime.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Official Trailer: Scream (1996)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AWm_mkbdpCA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>1) Dawn of the Dead (1978)<\/p>\n<p>This is the definitive zombie film, with George A. Romero (the grandfather of the zombie genre) in the director&#8217;s seat. The film follows a group of survivors who hide out in a shopping center, using the shops available in order to survive. It is the ultimate gorefest; zombies eat people, heads are chopped off, zombies and people die. This is a fantastic film, which is a must-watch this Halloween.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dawn of the Dead (1978) | Original Trailer [HD] | Coolidge Corner Theatre\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y_EviQj5tvA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Voice of London is here to cater to all your Halloween needs.
