Torture filled horror films aren't everyone's cup of tea, with people who argue against them calling them simply "torture porn." Mainstream films like Saw, Hostel, I Spit On Your Grave, and Human Centipede all receive backlash from the public about how the films whole purpose is just to show off gore, blood, and bludgeoned body parts; and while they're not wrong, that's also a fun part of the horror genre: the special effects and how the creative teams utilize them.

In talking with people the last few weeks leading up to this weekend, it seemed like less people

Some of the best modern day horror films I've seen take bits and pieces of the genre and mash them together to make one big Frankenstein of a flick that's filled with so much goodness.
