Splatstick film
Splatstick is a phrase coined by
actor Bruce Campbell to describe the
Evil Dead movies in which he starred. "Splatstick" is physical comedy (
slapstick) that involves evisceration (things that go "splat!"). Some examples of splatstick would include
Peter Jackson's
Dead Alive and (at times) Michele Soavi's
Cemetery Man (
Dellamorte Dellamore, 1994).
