Some movies are violent some are really violent, but no legit horror flick is porn. It is not as though the intent of these films is to have the viewer masturbate to the gore.

That's where the use of the quotation marks comes into play. That phrase doesn't sit well with me either although I always felt it was implying that a movie is filled with nothing BUT torture and no other redeeming value. A porn is filled with just sex, everything else is slapped on as an afterthought and I've always figured those who call certain movies "torture-porn" feel that said movies are nothing but torture and violence.
