Planning - Thriller Genres - Torture Porn


A torture porn film or gore film is a sub genre of thriller film that deliberately emphasises the presence of gore and graphical violence and the fragility of the human body. These films heavily rely on the use of special effects and are regarded as having basic plot lines with minimal character development to meet the targets audience's demands.

This video clip contains footage from the popular film SAW 7.  As you can see from this clip it uses a lot of special effects and there is a vast quantity of blood, gore and a strong emphasis on death.
saw can be considered the benchmark for all torture porn as it was the most successful  torture porn film and has popularised this genre.
