Torture Porn

[saint_stevo]

An apt description of Saw, Hostel etc?

Don't wanna sound like a daily mail reader but yes, its just nastiness for the sake of it, (Its harder to w*nk to, that’s for certain).

 

Without a degree of style or humour or imagination, porn becomes utterly tedious, ditto with like likes of Saw etc. You can have a scene charged with sexual energy without graphic close-ups of splayed fannies, and films can be sh*t scary without having to show someone having their skin pealed off by demonic 5 year olds with cheese-graters and then their limbs torn off by tramps every ten minutes. or something.

 

Scary films, like most things, work best when they retain some sense of mystery and force you to use your imagination. Returning again to Funny Games, its so damn disturbing because the violence is off screen. You hear what is happening and your mind fills in the blanks, and this is WAY more scary than some tacky special effect which will look rubbish in a year or two.

 

Torture porn = horror for 15 year olds with ADHA
