These flicks are beyond damp. Beyond slightly moist. These are soaking wet, the bloody, the disgusting. I did my best to avoid the CGI crap here but there are a few of those included, only the truly extreme.

- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsTimothy BalmeDiana PeñalverElizabeth MoodyA 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.Peter Jackson's early claim to fame was a superior gore-fest comedy that features a zombie baby in a blender and one angry wimp gettin crazy with a lawnmower. Ehhh I got a urinary infection.
- DirectorOlaf IttenbachStarsAndré StryiChristopher StaceyElla WellmannPremutos is the first of the fallen Angels, even before Lucifer. His Goal is to rule the world, the living and the dead. His son paves the way for him and appears arbitrarily throughout human history and is then recognized as some kind of monster. In the present time, a young man living in Germany begins to suffer from visionary flashbacks--of the lives he lived in the past as Premutos' son. He remembers how he appeared in the Middle Ages when mankind suffered from pestilence, and during WWII in Russia. On his (earthly) father's birthday, a case containing a strange old book and a yellow potion is found in their garden, which was hidden by some peasant in 1943, who experimented with witchery in order to re-animate his deceased wife. Whe the young man gets in touch with the book and some of the yellow potion, he mutates into a monster and awakens an army of zombies, ready to bring back the fallen Angel Premutos and to disturb the little birthday party."Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead." German zombie-comedy that does not disappoint the gorehounds out there. Last 5 minutes must be seen to be believed.
- DirectorYoshihiro NishimuraStarsEihi ShiinaItsuji ItaoYukihide BennyIn future Tokyo, a young woman in the privatized police force tracks down her father's killer while battling against mutant rebels known as engineers.Title says it all doesn't it? If not, the first ten minutes does. There is so much gore in this movie it's insane. Dismemberments, guttings, slicing, dicing, etc etc. One guy gets his penis cut off and it re-grows into a huge gun. A chick shoves a broken bottle into a guys face until it comes off, then blows his face out the other side. Yay! A+ all the way!
- DirectorHideshi HinoStarsHiroshi TamuraKirara YûgaoAnja BlagojevicLate at night, a woman is kidnapped by an unknown assailant and taken back to his blood-spattered dungeon, where he turns her into a "flower of blood and flesh" through a series of dismemberment and evisceration.Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood. DISGUSTINGLY gory. Do not recommend seeing it.
- DirectorNgai Choi LamStarsSiu-Wong FanMei Sheng FanKa-Kui HoRiki-Oh, a young man who has superhuman strength, is incarcerated in a private prison, where inmates are treated like slaves. He is forced to use his unstoppable form of martial arts to destroy the corrupt officials and their lackeys.So gory, even when it's not called for. I mean he rips a dudes guts out after tying off one of his own tendons during a fight. Recommended.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsChristopher GeorgeCatriona MacCollCarlo De MejoA reporter and a psychic race to close the Gates of Hell after the suicide of a clergyman caused them to open, allowing the dead to rise from their graves.A chick pukes out her guts, a guy gets the back of his cranium ripped off and another dude gets a huge drill slowly put through his skull...is there any argument here that this Fulci classick is one of the best gore flicks of all time???
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.Coulda gone with Evil Dead 2 just as easily, but I've always liked 1 more. Way more film school and original! No explanation necessary really. Bruce Campbell takes some punishment, and Sam Raimi discovered his niche with this one...a gore classic.
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.Cannot be denied. One of the grossest gorefests ever. The green inferno!
- DirectorTakashi MiikeStarsTadanobu AsanoNao ÔmoriShin'ya TsukamotoAs 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 achieving.Takashi Miike always shocks and this movie is probably his best. Someone gets sliced down the middle, from head to toe from top to bottom.
- DirectorHerschell Gordon LewisStarsWilliam KerwinMal ArnoldConnie MasonAn Egyptian caterer kills various women in suburban Miami to use their body parts to revive a dormant Egyptian goddess while an inept police detective tries to track him down.Who would even read a list like this if this HG Lewis classick wasn't on it??? Fuad Ramses wants to cater your next event if you don't agree. AMAZING for 1963.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsLucio FulciBrett HalseyRia De SimoneA horror film director is stalked by a mad psychiatrist/serial killer bent on killing people to model the killings after the director's gory death scenes from his movies.Fulci's comedic reflection on a filmmakers gory history.

- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsLori CardilleTerry AlexanderJoseph PilatoAs the world is overrun by zombies, a group of scientists and military personnel sheltering in an underground bunker in Florida must decide on how they should deal with the undead horde.Definitely the goriest of the series, "Day" features several nasty, gory treats. Great film too.
- DirectorNacho CerdáStarsPep TosarJordi TarridaÁngel TarrisA short film wherein a man working in a morgue mutilates and defiles one of the corpses.Absolutely gross and disturbing short from Mexico. But I wouldn't eat tacos while watching this. WET.
- DirectorHarry Bromley DavenportStarsPhilip SayerBernice StegersDanny BraininAn alien creature impregnates a woman who gives birth to a man who was abducted by aliens three years ago. The man reconnects with his wife and son for a sinister purpose.Extremely moist and strange sci-fi flick. In one scene a woman gives birth to a full grown man. Yuck.
- DirectorPaul MorrisseyAntonio MargheritiStarsJoe DallesandroUdo KierDalila Di LazzaroBaron Frankenstein creates two "zombies" - one male, one female - planning to mate them in order to create a master race.Disgustingly graphic gore in this old school Italian-American joint effort.
- DirectorLuigi CozziStarsIan McCullochLouise MarleauMarino MaséA former astronaut helps a government agent and a police detective track the source of mysterious alien pod spores, filled with lethal flesh-dissolving acid, to a South American coffee plantation controlled by alien pod clones.Another sci-fi gore classicko with a lot of human explosions. Nasty.
- DirectorFabrizio LaurentiStarsDavid HasselhoffLinda BlairCatherine HicklandA photographer and others are stranded at a Massachusetts island hotel haunted by a woman in black.Italian gore-fest with David Hasslehoff and Linda Blair. Lots of nasty stuff to be found and enjoyed in here hidden amongst the awful acting and sub-standard plot.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsCatriona MacCollDavid WarbeckCinzia MonrealeA young woman inherits an old hotel in Louisiana where, following a series of supernatural "accidents", she learns that the building was built over one of the entrances to Hell.Ridiculous gore in the 1981 Fulci romp. Supposedly one of Tarantino's favorite films.
- DirectorLamberto BavaStarsUrbano BarberiniNatasha HoveyKarl ZinnyA group of random people are invited to a screening of a mysterious movie, only to find themselves trapped in the theater with ravenous demons.Awesome Lamberto Bava zombie flick from 85. Very very damp and disgusting.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsJack HedleyAlmanta SuskaHoward RossA burned-out New York police detective teams up with a college psychoanalyst to track down a vicious serial killer randomly stalking and killing various young women around the city.Without a doubt the most disgusting nipple slicing scene ever.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsAnthony FranciosaGiuliano GemmaJohn SaxonAn American novelist visiting Rome to promote his latest book is stalked and harassed by an obsessed fan who is committing a string of murders that appear to be tributes to his work.For the arm-slicing scene alone, this Argento sickie needs to be on this list.
- DirectorTony RandelStarsDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty is brought to an institution after the horrible events of Hellraiser (1987), where the occult-obsessive head doctor resurrects Julia and unleashes the Cenobites and their demonic underworld.Far and away the wettest of the series. Skinless guys are scary.
- DirectorJ.R. BookwalterStarsPete FerryBogdan PecicMichael GrossiAn elite anti-Zombie team is assembled by the Government to cope with an ever-growing undead infection and the religious cult zealots who fanatically protect the festering foes.One of the best indie zombie flicks ever. Plenty of gross out gore scenes.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsTerry PotterPete O'HerneCraig SmithThe population of a small town disappears and is replaced by aliens that chase human flesh for their intergalactic fast-food chain.The first Peter Jackson flick, shot over years and with his friends on the weekends is pretty disgusting.
- DirectorDouglas McKeownStarsCharles George HildebrandtTom DeFrancoRichard Lee PorterAlien creatures invade a small town and four teenagers, along with a young boy, attempt to escape from them.Gross little 80's sci-fi gore romp. A lot less disturbing than many others on this list, but very damp, all things considered.
