The Splat Pack is a collection of filmmakers who, since 2002, have rekindled horror film. The term was coined by Alan Jones of Total Film. The group has been credited with bringing back ultra-violent movies, as well as moving away from PG-13 rated movies and into the R-rated spectrum, all while operating with low budgets. The members have repeatedly clashed with the MPAA board over the content of their work but nevertheless continue to find substantial box-office success.
