Movies that feature scenes of cut up or mutilated bodies typically fall into the horror subgenres of 

splatter, gore, and extreme horror. 

Here are some notable titles known for their graphic depictions of bodily harm and dismemberment:

• Saw series (2004 onwards): These films are famous for their intricate “games” and elaborate, gruesome traps that often result in severe bodily harm and dismemberment.
• Hostel series (2005 onwards): Directed by Eli Roth, these movies focus on a torture organization where victims are graphically mutilated and killed for profit.
• The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) (2011): Known for its disturbing and graphic content involving human mutilation.
• Terrifier (2016) and Terrifier 2 (2022): These independent slashers gained notoriety for their exceptionally brutal and realistic gore effects, featuring extensive dismemberment by the killer Art the Clown.
• A Bay of Blood (1971): An early Italian giallo film noted for its high body count and graphic murder sequences which were influential in the horror genre.
• Cannibal Holocaust (1980): A controversial found-footage film depicting extreme violence and mutilation by cannibal tribes in the Amazon rainforest.
• Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood (1985): A Japanese film that focuses almost entirely on the step-by-step process of a woman being dismembered by a man in a dungeon.
• Bone Tomahawk (2015): While primarily a Western, it features a few intensely graphic and brutal scenes of dismemberment that are often mentioned for their realism.
• Green Inferno (2013): Another Eli Roth film that depicts a group of student activists captured by a cannibal tribe.
• Martyrs (2008): Part of the French New Extremity movement, this film explores themes of torture and transcendence, featuring intense and realistic scenes of violence and flaying. 

War Films with Graphic Scenes

Certain war films also depict realistic and graphic scenes of bodies being torn apart or mutilated by weapons, such as the D-Day landing scene in Saving Private Ryan (1998). 

Films featuring explicit scenes of bodily dismemberment or extensive gore are typically found within the 

horror, slasher, and exploitation genres. 

Within these genres, films can vary greatly in their level of gore and explicit depiction of violence. Some films might focus on suspense and psychological horror, while others are known for their explicit and often over-the-top practical effects and makeup to portray injuries and bodily harm. Exploring the specific characteristics of subgenres within horror and reading reviews or viewer discretion information can help in understanding the content of individual films. 

“Bloody weapons” generally refers to either 

prop weapons used for costumes and decorations or, in a fictional context, magical/special items that are activated by or feed on blood. The search results primarily feature products for the former and descriptions of the latter from video games and fantasy lore. 

As Costume Accessories/Props

These are typically non-toxic, lightweight plastic or foam items designed to look realistic for Halloween, themed parties, haunted houses, or cosplay. 

Common types of bloody weapon props include:

• Knives (butcher knives, daggers, survival knives)
• Axes and Hatchets
• Cleavers
• Machetes
• Sickles
• Other tools like wrenches, pipe wrenches, hammers, and chainsaws with “blood splatter” effects 

These items are available from various merchants like Party City, Spirit Halloween, and Amazon. Some props even feature “bleeding” effects where a non-toxic liquid blood oozes down the blade. 

In Fictional Contexts

In certain video games, literature, and role-playing systems, “blood weapons” are a specific category of item with unique properties:

• Activation: They often require contact with human (or specific species’) blood to unlock their full potential or special skills.
• Abilities: They may grant stat boosts, drain the life (HP) from opponents, or be used for unique functions like infiltration where a weapon can be formed from the user’s own blood.
• Examples: Specific examples include the “Bloody Helice” sword in Elden Ring and “Bloodsucker” weapons in Final Fantasy XI. 

The act of dragging a body behind a horse has 

historically been associated with a brutal form of capital punishment called drawing (part of “hanged, drawn, and quartered”), as well as a method of dismemberment used as a form of execution in various cultures. It can also occur accidentally, leading to a dragging death. 

Historical Execution Methods

• Drawing: In medieval England, as part of the penalty for treason, a condemned person was “drawn,” meaning tied to a horse (sometimes dragged on a protective hurdle or sledge) and pulled through the streets to the place of execution. This was done to ensure they arrived alive for the subsequent parts of the execution (hanging, disemboweling, and quartering).
• Quartering/Dismemberment: A more extreme application involved tying each of the victim’s four limbs to a different horse (or other powerful animals/vehicles) and spurring them in opposite directions to tear the body apart.
• Chēliè: An ancient Chinese form of execution that achieved a similar result by using five carts led by horses or oxen to pull the body in five directions. 

Accidental Dragging

Tragically, individuals can be accidentally dragged by a horse, often when a foot gets caught in a stirrup after a fall. These incidents are extremely dangerous and can result in severe injury or death due to the head striking the ground or the horse stepping on the victim. 

Practical and Fictional Contexts

In a practical or fictional context, transporting a body (dead or unconscious) by horse is often best accomplished by draping the body over the saddle or using a makeshift travois/stretcher dragged behind the horse, especially over long distances or rough terrain. This avoids the dangers associated with being dragged directly on the ground. 

The act of “dragging bodies with horses” has historical and practical contexts, ranging from a brutal form of execution to a method of transport, as well as a cause of accidental death

. 

Historical Execution Methods

Historically, horses were used as part of capital punishment, most famously in the English penalty for high treason known as “hanged, drawn, and quartered”. 

• Drawing: The condemned person was tied to a horse (or a hurdle/sledge pulled by a horse) and dragged to the place of execution.
• Quartering: After being hanged (not usually to the death) and disemboweled, the body was cut into four pieces, sometimes by tying each limb to a different horse and spurring the horses in different directions to tear the body apart. 

A similar method called Chēliè (車裂) was used in ancient China, involving tying the limbs and head to five carts led by horses or oxen and pulling them apart. 

Accidental Deaths

Accidental deaths can occur when a person gets tangled in a horse’s gear (such as a stirrup or rope) and is dragged. The injuries from being bounced along the ground or stepped on by the horse can be fatal. 

Practical Transport

In a practical, non-lethal context, people have devised methods for moving unconscious or deceased bodies with horses, particularly in historical or wilderness scenarios:

• Travois/Makeshift Sled: A common and more practical method is to create a makeshift stretcher or travois (a frame with two poles and a blanket/tarp) that is dragged behind the horse.
• Across the Saddle: For short distances, an unconscious person can be laid belly-down across the saddle or the horse’s withers, with a conscious person riding behind them or leading the horse on foot.
