#The walking dead porn series
“Īs we’ve already touched upon here on Bloody Disgusting, this past Sunday night’s Season 7 premiere of the hit AMC series was one of the most disturbing, harrowing, and grueling hours of television we’ve ever endured, and though we understood that it was exactly as upsetting and brutal as it needed to be, many viewers didn’t quite feel the same way. It seems to have become a catch-all term for any piece of entertainment that’s violent, whether it’s a Tarantino film or, well, the latest episode of “The Walking Dead. Granted, there are a handful of movies that can indeed be appropriately described as “torture porn,” but for the most part, the term tends to be applied in all the wrong places. Of course, horror has since the beginning of time been looked down upon by film buffs, and “torture porn” is just another way to slam the genre for being the bastard stepchild of the entertainment industry. Mind you, the story-rich Saw franchise doesn’t exactly fit that bill, but it’s nevertheless the film that led to the creation of the reductive and disrespectful term. Basically, the term means what it sounds like it means, denoting films that exist for no other purpose than to subject the audience to graphic and gruesome torture sequences. There are few things I’ve come to hate more than the term “torture porn,” which was coined in the wake of mid-2000s films like Saw and Hostel.
