I personal think that games like manhunt are no typical
splatter games. They only show kills in a very strange and hard way. I associate with splatter games or movies more works like "brain dead" or "evil dead".
Splatter is something like zombie hordes or 1000 gallons of blood in one human body... more the unreal way.

If I see those manhunt compilations, I hardly believe that this game could make fun. I do not bore myself by watching these hard scenes. But this is truely far away from a cool splatter game. It´s the same like watching war tapes or beheading movies. Just not want to consume it. But it is not boring.
