You know that idiotic Miranda July film Me and You and Everyone We Know? It's basically the horror equivalent of what that woman thinks is a sexual fantasy, but is actually garbage invented by a six-year-old. Don't know which was worse, though at least Miranda wasn't graphic in her visuals.
 
Must confess I haven't watch these movies yet. The plot sounds too sick and fucked up.

I might watch it one day when having a "fucked up movies marathon watching day" with friends.

Never seen that film, or the centipede one, only read about it, dont think i ever will watch it, Hostel disturbed me too much, especially the bit where he blow torches her eye :s
 
I've zero interest in any of these 'torture porn' movies - Saw, Hostel, Human Centipede....

Honestly can't see the attraction :confused:

The world can be a nasty, vicious, painful place - why would you want to watch it for entertainment? Movies are about escapism for me, not a reminder of how fucked-up some people are.
 
Yeah...I've seen Hostel and Saw. Really didn't like it. Because of the realism, that made it nastier for me.
As for the centipede film, well, I'm amazed that it's made it to a third instalment.

I won't be watching any of them.

Ditto, I jumped ship on gore after Brain Dead/Dead Alive, which really pushed the envelope as far as you can go without being simply nasty.

Saw 1 I quite liked, it did keep me guessing and has some nice twists and some homage to the Dr Phibes movies. The most horrid bit in that for me was where the henchman gets done in with the toilet cistern lid, which you don't really see and somehow that makes it worse than the stuff you do see, which is good use of not being graphic.

Hostel I didn't like one little bit, as much as anything it makes some obnoxious assumptions about the audience which when they miss the mark, leave you watching characters that are stupid and annoying and that you don't really care much about.

Likewise, I've watched most of the Saw films without too much problem - some are harder to watch than others, but I got the impression that there was a tiny touch of black humour about the way the films were made. Hostel, on the other hand, just made me wonder "why?". I'd need to think long and hard about my motivation before I watched any of the "Human Centipede" films, although the first, from what I've read, would probably be tolerable!
 
Please Stop using the term torture porn it's not porn at all its just gory horror that's all.
 
I think it's called that because it's seen as pandering to people who get off on seeing torture on screen, in the same way that people get off on seeing sex on film.
 
I don't get off on it.I'm to go out and kill anyone and gory horror films have been around for a long time it's not a new thing that reminds me. I like to see the saw films from the start. I did not understand what was going on.
 
It's called torture porn because like pornography which is the graphic depiction of sexual activity it is the graphic depiction of bodily harm. As porn is all about the sex; torture porn is all about the... torture. No-one is saying that people who watch films like Saw, Hostel, et al are "getting off" to it. They're saying that those people enjoy watching such films.
 
Fair enough, I'm not suggesting that everyone who watches it gets a sexual thrill, but the gist of our posts is the same, I think. The phrase "torture porn" (or, for that matter, the similar "gorno") may be a deliberately provocative one, but it's one which asks us to at least consider why we enjoy films containing strong violent acts. Personally, I think both that the Saw films have some artistic merit and that "torture porn" is a reasonable description of their contents.

Anyway, as far as the Human Centipede goes, I should clarify my thoughts. This 3rd film sounds so ludicrously OTT that it would be hard to take it too seriously (dependant, I guess, on how graphic some of the scenes are), but nothing I've read about the 2nd film would persuade me to contemplate watching it.
 
I wasn't arguing against you Pp. Just trying to get Megadeth to see there was no name calling or finger pointing going on.
 
No problem. It was a good opportunity for me to clarify my thoughts on the matter!
 
I just seen the first saw film. the twist at the end was a surprise just 6 of them to get though and I did not know dany glover was in it.
 
I like this thread to be turned into a general horror film discussion thread and have it stickyed.
 
I'm glad you like this thread. As for turning it into a general one, no need. We have a long-dormant thread about horror films in general here, and lots of others on specific ones. As for stickying, no. We've too many already, and I'll be un-stickying a few in the near future. Threads should only be stickyed if they're really important and need to stay prominent, and now the changeover's long gone there's a lot fewer of them.
 

Human Centipede III - the most abhorrent film ever? BBC News

Four years ago, a horror film was banned in the UK and branded satanic in Australia - while in the US death threats were made against director Tom Six. It was the second in the Human Centipede trilogy. Now, as the third and final film is about to be premiered, Mobeen Azhar gets an exclusive preview, and asks Six why he tried to make "the most abhorrent and shocking film possible".

Detractors have suggested the franchise is the natural conclusion of the "torture porn" horror that gained popularity in the past decade - the films Saw and Hostel being the most popular examples. But Six says his vision is not "gore for the sake of gore".

"These films have a lot of layers. They are dark comedies. They are horrible films, not horror films," he says.

Tom Six folks, what a guy !!!
 
There's Actually A Human Centipede Toy
I was just saying the other day how there aren't enough good mouth-to-anus action figures on the market these days. Japanese company Geek Life has rectified that problem by creating Human Centipede figures based on characters from Tom Six's original 2009 film.

The figures go on sale at Geek Life Store this Friday, noontime in Japan.

Teacher Suspended For Showing The Human Centipede 2 To High School Class
For a classroom of children at Jackson Central-Merry High School, homework was the last thing on their minds when they went home on April 20th.

Evidently there was a classroom viewing of Human Centipede 2, a horror series that has been referred to in the past as torture porn, and at one point was even banned in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The incident was brought to the attention of the school after a parent called The Jackson Sun about what happened, and since then the school has released an official statement.
