In my top five Mickey Rourke movies, I mentioned that “The Wrestler” included plenty of bloody scenes, as well as a few outright sex scenes. Emil called me out on it in the comments section, noting that just because a movie has sex and violence doesn’t make it bad. So true, Emil! Thanks for the reminder.
And thanks for my next Film Gecko Five – Bloodiest Movies. But I need your help, Geckos, because I don’t watch a lot of the blood and gore. What are your favorite bloody movies?
I’ll start with a poll, but feel free to add your own or tell me your favorites in the comments section. After a few days, I’ll pick the top five and run a Film Gecko Five. Let’s go! n

No one does gore like the Japanese (well, maybe some of the Italians come close). Movies like Ichi the Killer and Tokyo Gore Police are off the “ick” chart, and make Kill Bill and Sweeney Todd look like High School Musical. Not my cup of tea, but different strokes, etc. etc. Some of Argento’s stuff is downright artful in its goriness, though.
My vote would actually be for either Hostel or Hostel 2. Wow, those were wild.
