[PAR] [TLE] Splatter film [SEP] A splatter film or gore film is a subgenre of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence.  These films, usually through the use of special effects, display a fascination with the vulnerability of the human body and the theatricality of its mutilation.  The term "splatter cinema" was coined by George A. Romero to describe his film "Dawn of the Dead", though "Dawn of the Dead" is generally considered by critics to have higher aspirations, such as social commentary, than to be simply exploitative for its own sake. [PAR] [TLE] Lucio Fulci [SEP] Lucio Fulci (] ; 17 June 1927 – 13 March 1996) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and actor.  He is perhaps best known for his gore films, including "Zombi 2" (1979) and "The Beyond" (1981), although he made films in genres as diverse as giallo, western and comedy.  Fulci is known as the "Godfather of Gore", a title also given to Herschell Gordon Lewis.
