Splat Pack


The Splat Pack is a collection of independent filmmakers who, since 2002, have directed, written and produced R-rated horror films, notable for their low budgets and extreme ultra-violence.

History

The term was coined by Alan Jones of Total Film. The group has been credited with bringing back ultra-violent movies, as well as moving away from PG-13 rated movies and into the R-rated spectrum, all while operating with low budgets. The members have met opposition from the MPAA board over the content of their work, but nevertheless continue to find box-office success.

Film

In 2010, a documentary film on the Splat Pack was made featuring interviews with members Alexandre Aja, Adam Green, Eli Roth, Darren Lynn Bousman, Neil Marshall, and Greg McLean.
