But i like concept with pulsing screen corners and a heartbeat sound. I do this. Some low pulsed corners and sound - nothing more. Will be nice addon ,to say: "Hey! You have low HEALTH!"

Yeah, what I actually meant is something more appropriate. Like some pulsing bloody textures on the edges of the screen. Fading in some more layers/textures the lower you get. Since animating flowing blood is off the table this is probably as close at it gets to get the feeling of flooding your screen with red juice.
Just watched some Let's plays of some survival shooters (Metro First Light and Resident Evil 6) and it's pretty much exactly doing what I had in mind for such an addon.
TLDR; the way BloodyScreen fades in and out some textures is visually neat. Just the position and condition that triggers it is kinda off.
The splatter in the middle of the screen is definitely not good for a fun gameplay experience in the long run.
