A tamer subgenre of gore that focuses less on graphic injuries and death like traditional gore but more on any tense situation that involves a person getting not seriously hurt.
Examples of bell gore: Shot with a paintball gun, slapped, beating, getting knocked out, hit with a baseball, fist fights.
“I think regular gore is too extreme, which is why I like bell gore because it still has that tense situation but doesn’t set it’s premise on injuries.”
