These types of movies (read: EvilFish's list) bother the [censored] out of me. Not particularly because of what some of them depict, though I have lost some sleep, but because 1. Somebody had to think it up 2. Somebody funded it 3. Actors acted it all out. 4. Copycat killers exist, and these movies can fuel that behavior.
#4 bothers me the most. Given, the more hardcoe 'torture porm' films are mostly shock films, but they have a pretty huge following who really enjoy the stuff. Stuff like A Serbian Film and August Underground, + other simulated snuff films can really, in the right light, glorify what they're showing. At least, to some people. Not to mention the critics who praise those movies as "art." All it takes is one bad day.
And I'm [censored] empathetic enough as it is. It really disturbs me that somebody may go through what's in those films because some sick [censored] gets off from it.
