These films, however, were not box office hits. And Coffin Baby, the vile slasher of Tobe Hooper’s return to greatness, “ The Toolbox Murders” seems to take great, almost childlike delight in inflicting pain to the dying. The Captain was all about the delicious pain. Initially, his only murder comes from a torturee with a weak heart. Evil Captain Howdy lures in teenagers via the internet, then captures them to perform horrible “body modifications” to them. Dee Snider wrote, directed, and starred in “ Strangeland,” (1998) a slasher movie with a twist. There is precedent for the sadistic torture-killer, of course. The gore was even heavier, and the body count higher, in “ Saw 2,” showing that the original film was just the impetus – the really sick stuff was yet to come. “Saw” proved that a low budget, high intensity, and lots of violence could be an economic windfall. But the huge financial success of the film opened doors for this new breed of torturous slasher film, and allowed certain films to be made that might not have ever seen the light of day otherwise. That isn’t to say that films like “ Hostel” and “ Wolf Creek” imitate “Saw” in any creative way.

The movie proved to be another benchmark film for the genre like “ Halloween” and “Nightmare on Elm Street” this was the type of film that inspired a new wave of films to follow – dark, nasty films that focused on torture and suffering, instead of just murder. As the only other audience member at the screening I attended cackled midway through, ‘This is some f-ed-up s-, dude!’ Hell yeah it is, and not in a good way, either.Creators LeighWhannell and James Wan found a way to take the pathology of the new-school cinematic serial, and combine it with the vicious gore and carnage of classic slasher films with the low budget sensation “Saw.” “It’s disturbing in the most unpleasant ways possible outside of Abu Ghraib or battlefield snuff films, and the fact that it was directed by Oscar-nominated director Joffé ( The Killing Fields) and co-written by Larry Cohen ( Phone Booth, Cellular) renders the whole production all the more unpalatable. “ Captivity is the kind of film that gives torture porn a bad name,” he writes. These are its spawn.” Austin Chronicle critic Marc Savlov is equally dismissive.

“Some character or other is taken prisoner by some often faceless, often-motiveless villain. “ Captivity is another one of those ‘torture porn’ thrillers you’ve been hearing about,” writes Roger Moore in The Baltimore Sun. The movie is, somewhat inexplicably, directed by Roland Joffé, whose credits include The Killing Fields and The Mission. The summer’s releases include the poorly reviewed Captivity, starring Elisha Cuthbert as a model who is kidnapped and psychologically tortured. And I think that the term ‘torture porn’ genuinely says more about the critic’s limited understanding of what horror movies can do than about the film itself.” The gore blinds them to any intelligence that goes into making the film. It shows a lack of understanding and ability to understand and appreciate a horror film as something more than just a horror film. I think it’s more reflective of the critic than the film. You know, when you watch pornography, you watch it, you get off, and that’s it.

“What that does though is it immediately discredits the film. “I think that I understand what David Edelstein said when he said audiences were getting off on the violence,” Roth says. In June 2007, Ain’t It Cool News publishes an interview with Roth in which the filmmaker takes issue with the term “torture porn,” or at least the idea that movies such as Hostel are solely about providing immediate gratification to fans of extreme horror. Yet more extreme horror hits cinemas, including the French movies Inside and Frontier(s) and the Roth-directed Hostel II.
