Euw! There is only one TACK in this image! ;) The drippy blood stuff looks really fake. Almost like it was post edited in. Pretty grusome though. I will give you a 5 because you tried to gross me out!

The suggestion of gore almost always strikes this voter as being both unnecessary and unpleasant. It's not that I just like shiny, happy photos. Just the opposite. I often prefer dark and brooding ones. But in photos and films, I think we find threats are always more scary than actualities.

It's curious, in this case I find the red stuff simultaneously grotesque and unconvincing. I wish the whole thumb were in focus. I wish the warm color of the incandescent light had been corrected. And I find the composition a little static for my tastes.

the fake blood is really badly painted in, should use strawberry icecream sauce or something like that :)

Another 30 seconds in MS-Paint and this might have been a reasonable image.
