Christine (1983)
Sure there isn’t a lot of gore in Christine, but it’s a genuinely scary movie with at least two instances of graphic blood shed. I think the scene (near the end of the movie) that involved a rather large piece of glass in someone’s stomach is particularly good as well as the burning corpse we see earlier on.
With Christine, Stephen King takes what sounds like a ludicrous idea and turns into horror gold. There’s a reason this man is referred to as the King of Horror. He may not be the King of Gore, but he knows had to write a good horror story and Bill Phillips translates King’s novel into a very faithful screenplay which makes a truly frightening movie.
Quick Review: Christine might not be a gore-fest like many of the other movies on this site, but it is a classic and great for a scare.
