Carnography (from Latin "carnis" meaning "meat" and
Greek γραφή (grafi) "writing") is a neologism for
writing, films, images, or other material that contains
gratuitous amounts of bloodshed, violence and/or
weaponry.

It is named by analogy to pornography
(although it is often mistaken for a portmanteau of
"carnage" and "pornography", this is not strictly the
case), and is sometimes referred to as "violence porn".
The mere depiction of violent acts, or of their
results, does not necessarily qualify a film as
carnography, just as the mere depiction of sex acts does
not necessarily qualify a film as pornography.
