Yeah - I have voiced it here many times. Stupid term created by the media it condemn and pigeon hole Horror/exploitation films..
Giganticface pretty much brings up all my points too, though I think the term is meant to be like porn in that the films are just an excuse to string together violent,torture scenes in the same way porn does with sex (ie the plot is uninteresting or non existent). The term doesn't mean torture that sexually excites (like hardcore BDSM etc).
With that in mind (as I have said before) we need to start calling comedies 'Chuckle Porn)
