torture porn


a term coined by various critics which discusses the current trend in horror hollywood which consists of horror movies having no story whatsoever but gratuitous images of people having random body parts removed–from legs, heads to even p-n-ses (the last in hostel 2). it’s for those who don’t remember the good old days where storytelling was key over visuals.
guy: want to rent saw iii or hostel ii?
girl: i’m so sick of all this torture p-rn!
a catchy if not condescending term used to describe the genre of movies in which people are tortured and killed, like the saw and hostel series. the phrase of course implies that those who enjoy the movies have a fetish for such things and get their rocks off watching someone being tortured.

unfortunately this completely ignores the strengths of these movies. saw really does have an interesting philosophical aspect, really. the story is also pretty good. the guy above said hostel actually is just plain ol’ torture, i would agree there.
if you can get past the gore and extreme violence, the saw series are actually a good tale and not just torture p-rn.
a phrase for a genre of horror films that seriously-very-douchebaggy critics came up with, and critic-sheep use as a mantra.

they tend to mindlessly apply them to the saw films, the devil’s rejetcs and hostel without actually doing any research. but when your opinion is popular, you don’t need to do research, amirite?

saw is usually accused of starting the torture p-rn genre. for more on that theory, see: flat-out f-cking lie

you see, cannibal holocaust came out twenty years ago, much more violent than all the saw/hostel/devils rejects films put together. that was 1980, so this didn’t come out of nowhere with hostel and saw.

plus, the texas chainsaw/halloween/friday the 13th remakes have been regarded as “torture p-rn” by some, even though they’re the same as they were twenty years ago.

so…it is possible that we’re just in an age of oversensitive-politically-correct douchebaggery?

our crack team of researchers say…yeah, pretty much.
person who thinks: hostel and saw aren’t actually made for sick people, if you take time to really -n-lyze it, you’ll see it is deeper than it appears. the old adage “never judge a book by its cover” applies in most corners of life, including horror films.

moron: that’s just an excuse to watch someone get tortured with torture p0rnz in teh movie pictures!!1

person who thinks: actually, saw fans are people who see the films not even for the gore, they enjoy the characters, the message, the story–

moron: that’s just an excuse to watch someone get tortured with torture p0rnz in teh movie pictures!!1

person who thinks: they’re still just movies. besides, if they’re meant to be horror, isn’t that what they’re supposed to do? if they exploit on it, isn;t that the whole point? would you call a sad romance film that exploits audience emotions “romance p-rn”, or a funny comedy that exploits the audience sense of humor “comedy p-rn”?

moron: that’s just an excuse to watch someone get tortured with teh torture p0rnz in teh movie pictures!!1

(super-impose on the screen):
arguing with someone who thinks saw/hostel are torture p-rn; it really is like dividing by zero.
an expression referring to some modern horror/thriller films you have to have a moron level of 23 (on a scale of 1-5) to use anymore. for christ’s sake, it’s 2009. “torture p-rn” is a silly phrase meant to refer to some movies, like hostel, a phrase which is as old and outdated by now as segregation laws.

you have to be either
a: a complete r-t-rd
b: a troll
c: a p-ssed off old guy
d: a film critic with a basketball hoop up his -ss
to actually use this term. in fact, if you use this term, that invalidates any argument you may put forward.

in other words, get over it and b-tch about something new.
waaa!!! that’s torture p-rn!! i’m gonna mod down your comment on urban dictionary!! waaaa!!!

complete r-t-rd: “if you liked a movie like hostel or saw, you’re a s-d-st or a psycho or something! the whole fanbase! i judge people without knowing them or having any frame of reference as to what the h-ll i’m talking about, they all just love torture p-rn because i saidz so!”

smart person: “wow! did you spend all that time philsophizing and doing all that hard-hitting data research about the saw/hostel fanbases…up your -ss, by some chance?”

compelte r-t-rd: “you are the antichrist!!!!”

smart person: -facepalm-
an ignorant, degrading, condescending, judgemental and hypocritical phrase -sserted by f-ckwit bible-thumpers and conservative critics to films like hostel and saw and the devils rejects. the logic behind hostel and devil’s rejects being pinned such an ignorant term, maybe i could see. but the saw films don’t deserve that condescending sh-t.

‘torture p-rn’ is a term that doesn’t apply because it’s been applied by -ssholes, to films that have violence and nudity. said -ssholes like to -ssume fans of these films are s-d-sts who jerk off to this kind of thing or something, which in reality is f-cking bullsh-t propaganda at it’s finest. most people who label saw torture p-rn have never even seen the godd-mn film, and just listen to what the media tells them about it, because they’re f-cking stupid. not one fan of hostel or saw that i’ve ever known in my entire life has gone to see it because they wanted to jerk off to pain and suffering. they went to see it because they wanted to see a story, and use intellect to read between the f-cking lines and see a film for what it is.

case in point: hostel. yes, it has p-rno-style nudity, and yes it focuses on torture and gore. however, if you give it a thought (i know how uncomfortable haters of “torture p-rn” are with that g-d-awful “thinking”), you might see it as a film about the darkness of human nature within itself, and in a way it makes us think about the price of life. if you think i’m just making this sh-t up as an excuse to watch people die in agony, you’re a godd-mn moron, so please f-ck your mother and die.

i don’t even have to defend the saw films, because any fan of the saw films can show the philisophical subtexts to the saw films, which i will defend to my last breath.

another point: they’re just movies. no one is really getting tortured, it’s just special effect and makeup. you want torture p-rn? read the bible, and shut the f-ck up.
r-t-rd: saw iii and hostel ii are torture p-rn! i’m better than everybody because fans of those movies are s-d-sts!

smart person: have you even seen those movies?

r-t-rd: uuuuuuhhhhh. . .no. but oprah said they’re bad!

smart person: exactly. you have no idea what you’re talking about, so shut the f-ck up and stop using that bullsh-t rhetoric mantra about fans of films who in real life are perfectly normal.

r-t-rd: saw fans are psychos! hostel fans are s-d-sts! torture p-rn! jerking off to gore! mccain/palin 08!
