Movies such as Hostel/Saw, where the main focus of the film is around the torture of the on screen characters. It's a new name for the same old thing.

Started watching this earlier in the week but it was late and I was struggling to keep my eyes open.

Exactly - just another media label to pigeon hole the horror genre - fucking retarded if you ask me..

No one ever called Ilsa 'torture porn' - it was good ol' Exploitation back then.

I thought it was really good , there were a couple of pretty extreme tone changes in it though

First half was good, second half was long and drawn out for no reason.

Review is in the "last seen movie" thread.

I think the unrelenting and repedative abuse was to help show how she was withdrawing into herself and becoming numb to the pain and violence and how she had begun to accept death. The road to what they were calling her 'martyrdom'.

Glad I went into this one blind. I dug how the first half had an almost supernatural tone to it but it just decended into the Hostel kinda deal once again...

Still this and Frontier(s) kill the bubble gum bullshit coming out of the states.
