Goriest Movies of the 2010s

Even though it’s from the goriest horror movie, Truth or Dare has some scenes that are especially stomach-churning. There are two scenes in which a character is shot in the head, allowing the audience to watch as their brains splatter before the bodies drop to the ground in pools of blood. Luke is killed off first after being dared to rob a store, but the cashier shoots him almost immediately. The dare resulting in Tyler’s death was meant for Alex, but after learning they could all “share the dare,” the group takes turns playing Russian Roulette until Tyler gets the chamber with the bullet and shoots himself. Near the end of the movie, viewers get an incredibly gory scene of self-mutilation where the remaining players, Alex and Maddie, have to cut off seven living body parts. They start off easy with hair and a fingernail, but they eventually take turns cutting off an earlobe, finger, toe, and Maddie’s foot.

3. Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginning (2011)

This installment of Wrong Turn serves as a prequel to the original film, revealing the origins of One Eye (Daniel Skene), Saw Tooth (Scott Johnson), and Three Finger (Sean Skene), the cannibalistic Hillicker brothers. The violence starts early, as the three brothers escape the Glenville Sanitorium in 1974 and release the other patients before starting a riot and brutally massacring the staff. Almost thirty years later, university students Kenia (Jenny Pudavick), Sara (Tenika Davis), Bridget (Kaitlyn Wong), Jenna (Terra Vnesa), Kyle (Victor Zinck Jr.), Daniel (Dean Armstrong), Lauren (Ali Tataryn), Claire (Samantha Kendrick), and Vincent (Sean Skene) go to their friend Porter’s (Dave Harms) cabin for spring break. They get lost in a snowstorm and end up at the Sanitorium, where the Hillickers still live.

The brothers don’t take well to the intruders and quickly begin picking them off in brutal ways. Saw Tooth kills Vincent with a metal spike after he finds Porter’s body, and the next day Jenna sees the Hillickers butchering Porter’s body. The brothers approach the group and throw Porter’s severed head at them before hanging Claire from the balcony with barbed wire before they decapitate her. Later, Daniel is taken and tied to a table, where the brothers slowly butcher him and eat him alive. As the only survivors, Kenia and Sara try to escape on snowmobiles, but decapitate themselves after driving into the Hillicker’s razor-wire trap.

2. Sinister (2012)

Sinister contains some of the best and most graphic kill scenes committed by children. The story follows author Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke), who moves his wife Tracy (Juliet Rylance), twelve year old son Trevor (Michael Hall D’Addario), and seven year old daughter Ashley (Clare Foley) into a new house, where the Stevenson family was murdered by hanging, and their young daughter went missing. After finding a box of old films with different labels, Ellison watches them and sees families being murdered by an unknown camera operator in horrific ways. Families are tied to deck chairs and pushed into the pool with cinder blocks weighing them down in Pool Party ‘66, bound, gagged, and burned to death in a car in BBQ ‘79, run over by a lawnmower in Lawn Work ‘86, bound and gagged with their throats slit in Sleepy Time ‘98, and the hanging of the Stevensons in Family Hanging Out, ‘11.

Ellison consults a local deputy (James Raonsone) and learns that the murders took place in different cities around the country and a child from each family went missing. The deputy refers Ellison to an occult specialist, who tells him a Pagan Babylonian God named Bughuul would kill entire families and take one child to consume their soul. After some strange occurrences with their children, the Oswalts move back to their own house, where Ashley becomes possessed by Bughuul and murders her family with an axe, revealing that the missing children were the ones who murder their families.

1. The Green Inferno (2013)

A college freshman named Justine (Lorenza Izzo) becomes interested in a social activism group led by Alejandro (Ariel Levy) and his girlfriend Kara (Ignacia Allamand). The group, consisting of Justine, Alejandro, Kara, Jonah (Aaron Burns), Amy (Kirby Bliss Blanton), Samantha (Magda Apanowicz), Lars (Daryl Sabara), and Daniel (Nicolás Martínez), plan a trip to the Amazon Rainforest to protest deforestation and displacing native tribes. Drug dealer Carlos (Matías López) funds their trip and bribes the police when the group is arrested, but later dies as the plane taking them home crashes. Kara is killed moments later by an arrow, revealing that the group has landed in the territory of a local tribe.

The tribe imprisons the group, killing and eating Jonah before testing the three women’s virginity and taking Justine away for a genital mutilation ceremony after finding out she is a virgin. Samantha escapes during an episode of heavy rain, and the next morning her meat is fed to the group. After finding her a chunk of meat with her girlfriend’s tattoo, Amy realizes she is eating Samantha’s remains and breaks a bowl, committing suicide by stabbing herself with a shard. While the tribe eats Amy, Justine and Daniel escape, while Alejandro chooses to stay behind and forces Lars to join him by tranquilizing him. He awakens to being eaten alive by the tribe before they set out to recapture Justine and Daniel, tying him to a stake, breaking his limbs, and leaving him to be eaten by ants.
