I view ''torture porn'' as just another phrase, used to describe a movie made for no reason other than to show off mutilation in the most messed up ways possible. Because writer or director or whoever obviously cares more about expressing his sick fantasies over making a good story. Sometimes they're fun sometimes and they're not, but it s'pose it depends on how your taste in horror goes. It's hit or miss for me personally, usually a miss though. I love cheesy films with bad or no stories and fun kills as much as the next fan, but torture porn tends to push it a lot, and takes out all the excitement of the hunt. I need some tension in my horror, not just the kill.
