Horror and/or Torture porn favorites of mine
The list title pretty much says it... There is no real order to the list. Ultimately, it's just the order of the movies that i think of.
I know quite a few will be left off. I am throwing this together on the fly

- DirectorMel GibsonStarsJim CaviezelMonica BellucciMaia MorgensternDepicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.I dare you to try to convince me that this is not a torture porn movie! Maybe a kind of different group that it's focused at... but torture porn all the same.
- DirectorDennis AlinkStarsDennis AlinkDennis talks about "A Serbian Film" and the lawsuit filed after the Sitges Filmfestival.for some reason imdb won't pull it up... but here is the link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1273235/
it takes alot to make me uncomfortable... but this one did it a couple of times. - DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.apologies... but i kinda group ED II with this one and count it as one movie.
- DirectorClive BarkerStarsAndrew RobinsonClare HigginsAshley LaurenceA woman discovers the newly resurrected, partially formed, body of her brother-in-law and lover. She starts killing for him to revitalize his body and escape the demonic beings that are pursuing him after he escaped their underworld.Classic... that is all.
- DirectorTakashi MiikeStarsRyo IshibashiEihi ShiinaTetsu SawakiA widower takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be after all.Takashi Miike is the $h!t... and I am pretty sure (as my life goes by)... she is going to end up being my next girlfriend!
if you don't do well with slower movies... stick with it. It's all about the build up. Trust me. - DirectorMarcel SarmientoGadi HarelStarsShiloh FernandezNoah SeganCandice KingTwo high school boys discover an imprisoned woman in an abandoned mental asylum who cannot die.any comment i want to make is a bit of a spoiler... and if anyone actually reads this list and decides to watch it... i don't want to give away any of the infected juiciness!
- DirectorAlexandre BustilloJulien MauryStarsAlysson ParadisJean-Baptiste TabourinClaude LuléFour months after the death of her husband, a woman on the brink of motherhood is tormented in her home by a strange woman who wants her unborn baby.Discomfort... that's what this movie is.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsAlison LohmanJustin LongRuth LivierA loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.Sam Raimi proving he still has it! Gypsies and nose bleeds and insects and all sorts of goodness with wonderful humor.
- DirectorXavier GensStarsKarina TestaAurélien WiikPatrick LigardesA gang of young thieves flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an Inn run by neo-Nazis.hostel meets political unrest meets white supremacists.... can be pretty tense.
- DirectorColin MinihanStuart OrtizThe Vicious BrothersStarsBenjamin WilkinsonSean RogersonAshleigh GryzkoFor their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.anything special? nah, not necessarily. but a fun movie and what i always pictured/wished would happen on "haunted" reality shows.
- DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsLim Soo-jungYum Jung-ahKim Kap-suAfter being institutionalized in a mental hospital, Su-mi reunites with her sister, Su-yeon, and they return to live at their country home. But strange events plague the house, leading to surprising revelations and a shocking conclusion.Amazing movie! That's all there is to it.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsMichael J. FoxTrini AlvaradoPeter DobsonAfter a tragic car accident that kills his wife, a man discovers he can communicate with the dead, and he uses that gift to con people. However, when a demonic spirit appears, he may be the only one who can stop it from killing the living and the dead.ah, one of my favorite Peter Jackson flicks
- DirectorJ.A. BayonaStarsBelén RuedaFernando CayoRoger PríncepA woman brings her family back to her childhood home, which used to be an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend.Ok, (if anyone actually reads this list) some might be upset with this being on here and Devil's Backbone not... well, it might be on this list, i don't know yet... Anyhow! The haunted orphanage crossed with Del Toro being able to have the budget to create such a visually gorgeous film... that's the reason.
- DirectorMeir ZarchiStarsCamille KeatonEron TaborRichard PaceAn aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.The remake is not on here for one main reason.... They could not use a stereotypical "retarded person" in the new one, but could push the stereotype of "redneck"... in my opinion, either use stereotypes or don't. You can't trade one for another. I digress...
This movie is pretty vicious for then and for now... I don't think the new one even compares in the realism. But that's just me. - DirectorDamiano DamianiStarsJames OlsonBurt YoungRutanya AldaA dysfunctional family moves into a new house, which proves to be satanic, resulting in the demonic possession of their teenage son.Classic moments that people forget about.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherTwo American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.THE quintessential werewolf transformation scene! and pretty good on the humor too.
- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsVera FarmigaPeter SarsgaardIsabelle FuhrmanA husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she appears.Just an enjoyable psychotic little girl (or is she... dum dum DUM!)
- DirectorMitchell LichtensteinStarsJess WeixlerJohn HensleyJosh PaisStill a stranger to her own body, a high school student discovers she has a physical advantage when she becomes the object of male violence.Such a fun movie
(with the exception of the painful parts) - DirectorDick MaasStarsEgbert Jan WeeberBert LuppesCaro LenssenA horror film that depicts St. Nicholas as a murderous bishop who kidnaps and murders children when there is a full moon on December 5.Evil Saint Nick and a bunch of kids in black-face! what more could you ask for? death? destruction? mayhem? well, buckle in kiddies! you get all that and more! (side note: if you are offended by black face... first off, lighten up and watch Bamboozled. secondly, you probably shouldn't watch anything on this list. Third: just watch the movie to see why!)
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.not the b.s. remake...
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsKane HodderJoel David MooreDeon RichmondWhen a group of tourists in a New Orleans haunted swamp tour find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare.Quite entertaining... plus you get Robert Englund and Kane Hodder in the same movie!
- DirectorScott GlossermanStarsNathan BaeselAngela GoethalsZelda RubinsteinThe next great killer and psychopath has given a documentary film crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the quiet town of Glen Echo.Another new classic... it is a step up from what Scream was going for.
- DirectorEli CraigStarsTyler LabineAlan TudykKatrina BowdenAffable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students.He just came runnin' and threw himself in the wood chipper! (nuff said)
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigKaren BlackBill MoseleyTwo young couples traveling across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends of murder end up as prisoners of a bizarre and sadistic backwater family of serial killers.Wonderful homage to 70's trash horror and cinema
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigSheri Moon ZombieBill MoseleyThe murderous, backwoods Firefly family take to the road to escape the vengeful Sheriff Wydell, who is not afraid of being as ruthless as his target.and how many sequels start off with the tables turned on the antagonists and they have to run to survive?
- DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAnna PaquinBrian CoxDylan BakerFive interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.If only this had been made and creepshow 3 hadn't have been... the universe would be in balance
- DirectorSean HoganAndrew ParkinsonSimon RumleyStarsLuke de LaceyHolly LucasSiubhan HarrisonComposed of three disturbingly sensual and terrifying short narratives, unified by the twin themes of sex and death.Shy of A Serbian Film... but just as deviant and if you had a fear of dogs before... just wait for the last vignette.
- DirectorJames W. RobersonStarsJames HoughtonAlbert SalmiLynn CarlinA witch put to death in 1692 swears vengeance on her persecutors and returns to the present day to punish their descendants.fun little witch movie
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsTisa FarrowIan McCullochRichard JohnsonStrangers searching for a young woman's missing father arrive at a tropical island where a doctor desperately seeks the cause and cure of a recent epidemic of the undead.Zombies and a shark... yeah, that's right.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsCatriona MacCollDavid WarbeckCinzia MonrealeA young woman inherits an old hotel in Louisiana where, following a series of supernatural "accidents", she learns that the building was built over one of the entrances to Hell.And while we're on Fulci.... one of those people either seem to love or hate or think it's kinda 'eh'... so i guess in that spectrum it's like almost every movie ever.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsBill PullmanCathy TysonZakes MokaeAn anthropologist goes to Haiti after hearing rumors about a drug used by black magic practitioners to turn people into zombies.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsSandra PeabodyLucy GranthamDavid HessTwo teenage girls heading to a rock concert for one's birthday try to score marijuana in the city, where they are kidnapped and brutalized by a gang of psychopathic convicts.Okay, the remake was decent... but how the hell can you remove the p3n!s biting off seen? that was one of the greatest moments of the revenge!
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.yup... can't forget that one
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsTimothy BalmeDiana PeñalverElizabeth MoodyA young man's mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey. She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.Also in my Peter Jackson top three
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsTerry PotterPete O'HerneCraig SmithThe population of a small town disappears and is replaced by aliens that chase human flesh for their intergalactic fast-food chain.and the third... (meet the feebles is number 4)
- DirectorEli RothStarsLauren GermanHeather MatarazzoBijou PhillipsThree American college students studying abroad are lured to a Slovakian hostel and discover the grim reality behind it.So much better than the first... mainly because you get to see both sides of the goings on. and Heather Matarazzo has the balls to hang upside down naked...
- DirectorFrank HenenlotterStarsKevin VanHentenryckTerri Susan SmithBeverly BonnerA young man carrying a big basket that contains his extremely deformed, formerly conjoined twin brother seeks vengeance on the doctors who separated them against their will.ah, to almost never be alone....
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsMorjana AlaouiMylène JampanoïCatherine BéginA young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity.while not as shocking as i was expecting.... it is a pretty solid movie that goes a direction that you are not really expecting. The final theme reminds me of the Hellbound Heart... but that's just me
- DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsLee Byung-hunChoi Min-sikJeon Gook-hwanA secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases.while more of a thriller than horror or torture porn... i feel it belongs on my list of favorites
- DirectorAdam GreenJoel David MooreStarsJoel David MooreAmber TamblynZachary LeviA recluse telemarkets at an office, where his boss is his only friend. As he befriends a new, social colleague and sketches/paints her, his dark mind surfaces.Horror in the Hitchcockian sense... great movie.
- DirectorRoland JofféStarsElisha CuthbertDaniel GilliesPruitt Taylor VinceA man and a woman awaken to find themselves trapped in a cellar. As their kidnapper drives them mad, the truth about their horrific abduction is revealed.Torture porn... no more, no less.
- DirectorTony KrantzStarsTarah PaigeBostin ChristopherAshley JohnsonSuburban America gone haywire. In the midst of a serial abductor/killer's rampage, a beautiful young teen, Riley Lawson, goes missing. When her desperate parents, Will and Kate, are contacted by her kidnapper, an insufferable FBI Special Agent takes charge of the case.But, from deep within the psychopathic subterranean world created by Otis, Riley turns the tables on her tormentor, manages to escape and to contact her parents. And, fed up with the tragi-comic inability of the FBI to find their girl, Will, Kate, and Riley's brother, Reed decide to take matters - and justice - into their own hands.I have never felt better about my lack of social skills than when i watch this!
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.the classic of classics
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsGregory PeckLee RemickHarvey StephensMysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil's own son?I love this movie... because it's great. but also because my mother couldn't watch it until i was three because it gave her nightmares... ah, movies... is there anything you can't do
- DirectorAlberto De MartinoStarsCarla GravinaMel FerrerArthur KennedyA paralyzed young woman becomes possessed by the Devil when a hypnosis session - intended to heal her disability - accidentally awakens memories of her past life as a witch.not really sure what to say about this movie... i guess if you crossed the excorcist with LSD and threw in some orgies... that would come kinda close? not really? no... but now you are curious (if you haven't seen it)
- DirectorGregory WilsonStarsWilliam AthertonBlythe AuffarthBlanche BakerFollows the unspeakable torture and abuses committed on a teenage girl in the care of her aunt and the boys who witness and fail to report the crime.This movie is nothing but one long uncomfortable viewing.... Even before things go truly awry, there is a thick air of "ungood" looming around
- DirectorJames WanStarsCary ElwesLeigh WhannellDanny GloverTwo strangers awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, and soon discover they're pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.okay, so i'm only putting number one up here. It's actually been a pretty consistent series (every time i'm afraid it's going to all out suck, but none of the movies have been horrible). It with hostel were two of the (non-classic exploitation movies) front runners of the torture porn "genre" (good call rainfalls2000)
