In a way isn't that the very nature of Exploitation films - isn't faces of Death an indepth look at the mystery of life and Hostel is a critic of western society where any thing can be bought..
I think alot of exploitation films try to justify themselves in that way and try to condemn what infact is the films major selling point. I think Martyrs did this slightly better and is more 'respectable' than Ilsa SheWolf or Last house but I think it uses the same methods in a lot of ways...
