The term "splatter film" is often confused with " Slasher Film ". While there is often a great deal of overlap, a slasher like '' Halloween '' ( 1978 ) cannot be termed a splatter film, as it does not contain sufficient on-screen gore. Sometimes the gore is so excessive it becomes a Comedic Device , e.g. '' Evil Dead II '' ( 1987 ). Splatstick is a phrase coined by ''Evil Dead'' star Bruce Campbell to describe those movies. It is defined as physical comedy ( Slapstick ) that involves evisceration (making the sound "splat!"). Some further examples of splatstick would include Peter Jackson 's '' Bad Taste '' ( 1987 ) and '' Braindead '' ( 1992 ). Scenes of splatter can also appear in films of other genres, some examples are Michele Soavi 's ''Cemetery Man'' ('' Dellamorte Dellamore '', 1994 ) and Quentin Tarantino 's '' Kill Bill '' ( 2003 ).
