I'm not just talking about any gory scene in any movie, I'm talking about the gore genre films like
The Wizard of Gore,
Blood Feast, or
Cannibal Holocaust. I mean take Tarantino, most of his films show tons of blood and gore but I would not consider most of them horror with the exceptions being
From Dusk Til Dawn and perhaps
Grindhouse which is more of a comedy/horror/action.
