5 Torture Scenes That Will Scar You For Life

I've always had an issue with the term torture porn. I didn't like the idea of the word "porn" being added to the torture aspects of these movies because I felt that it implied some level of sexual gratification was taken from them, and I don't think that is accurate. Yet now, years later, you watch a show on the Food Network and people call it food porn. That is when the term starts to make sense, though. Some of these films really are torture porn, if you think about it.

Hostel 2 – Dick Chop Or Sickle Bath (Tie)

We know what the first two Hostel movies wanted to do, and they did so in spades. They wanted to take torture porn and really have some fun with it. They wanted to appall audiences and fuck people up. While that can be a fairly immature reason to make a series of movies, the first two Hostel films really worked on that level.

When I was thinking of scenes of torture, I got stuck on two from the first Hostel sequel. Do I go with the scene with the woman who emulates Elizabeth Bathory and slashes at a naked girl with a scythe and pretty much masturbates in her blood? Or the scene where the dude gets his dick chopped off and eventually fed to a dog? They are both appalling scenes that directly address gender, but which to pick?

I know I am a guy, so I should go with the dick chop scene, but there was something so arousing and nauseating about the blood shower that it just had to be a tie, right?
