ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Splatter film

A splatter film is a scary movie that is really, really violent and gory. That means there are lots of scenes where people get hurt and their blood goes everywhere. It's like when you accidentally spill your juice on the table, but instead of juice, it's blood and it's on people's faces and clothes.

These kinds of movies can be spooky and thrilling for grown-ups who like to watch scary stuff, but they're not for kids like you because they can be very, very scary and sometimes show really mean and scary things happening to people. So, it’s better to watch cheerful movies instead!
