First off let me say, this is just my opinion so you are entitled to your own opinions.
However, we are using different definitons of torture porn. Also you are speculating that most people take your definition as what Torture Porn is and even if you are correct does not make it a more accurate version.
Again, my definition is a movie where the ploto is secondary to showing explicity violence. The movie was created just to show violence with the plot being nearly and afterrhought.
Lets discuss regular PORN. Porn movies have little no plot. They simply exist to show as much sex as possible.
This is why I classify Hostel, Hostel 2 and Shuttle in the torture porn categoery.
It is not about the violence. It is about whether the movie is simply a vehicle to show violence with the plot being secondary.
this is the same reason I consider a movie like Basic Instinct not to be porn. I believe their is a unrted cut that would get NC-17 but the movie has a plot and the ndity nd violence is veru much part of the story -

OP, you poor little thing, product of the 00's and of its sanitized ideology. Scared of facing the brutality that our own civilization produces. You humanist, sensitive middle-class man, thinking that everyone is (or should be) like you and unable to realize that some people would do absolutely ANYTHING for a few grand, including torture and slave trading.
I advise you not to watch any giallo or any exploitation movie from the seventies, you'd probably vomit your breakfast.

Martyrs is one of my favorite movies and it makes Shuttle look like a kiddie movie. This movie really did not bring any new light to human trafficking and white slavery and seemed to exist just to kill the other people on the shuttle. I consider it tame torture porn with no suspense.
I consider torture porn movies like Hostel which exist only for the violence in the film. The plot is secondary to the violence or something like Vile, The Train (The one with Thora Birch which was a Hostel wannabe.
I do not consider the Saw movies to be torture porn especially the first and next to last one because it did have a fairly coherent story which was the reason for the violence.
Torture Porn are movies that exist only to show violence with a thin plot that is secondary to the violence. -

This is not torture porn. Proof? There is no torture. Only violence for the sake of furthering the plot. And even then nothing is very graphic except for the fingers thing and again that was for the plot and not torture
