Simple answer, something that a particular viewer finds brutal and disturbing.
Hostel for example, I think it's dumb for the most part and then decent for the last 25 minutes and anything in it that was supposed to be percieved as brutal or disturbing I personally found to be mild.
On the other hand I find Requiem for A Dream to be extremely brutal and disturbing while someone else may think it's dumb as I think Hostel is.
All depends on individual perception.
