Splatterhouse is going to be violent. There is no doubt to that at all. Queue the question… But how violent is it? Well if you look below, you can get a view of some of the new shots of some of the "Splatter Kills" in the game. These are some of those over the top finishing moves that Rick will be performing at your behest. These apparently are the mild ones too as some have been rumored to cause dry heaves in the developer's studio.

While I am sure that Splatterhouse's special and stylized kill moves will be awesome and unique, I have doubts that they will have the same effect on us desensitized gamers. Even the move, not shown below, where Rick rips off the head of an enemy and then reaches down his throat hole to grab the same enemy by the balls doesn't sound all that horrifying to me. Then again, I'm very open to grotesque violence. More than most.

I will have to follow up that I am curious to see what else the minds working on Splatterhouse have devised as an "over the top kill." I'm sure I will have a few new favorite moves, but I doubt there will be the one I call the Lawnmower BB. I won't say more than part of it involves the spine and an interesting use of it on the victim.
