This weekend, blood and gore awaits moviegoers as two violent and intense thrillers, "Blood Diamond" and "Apocalypto", will be battling head-to-head.

Both films are noted for their extreme amounts of violence and gorey scenes. "Apocolypto" is described as "unrelenting, often grisly, and ultimately sadistic" by CNN.

In a hilarious piece about the making of the film, Mel is said to have yelled at his cast, "I need to see the blood! Your character is going to die soon! Attention! We are all dying here! We are all dying!"

"Blood Diamond", which is being released at the height of the Christmas jewelry shopping period, is said to turn people off from buying diamonds due to its intensity. It features scenes where enemy rebels turn young boys into killing machines and chop off limbs of innocent people to spread fear.

And the cycle continues!
