I will fight till the day I die on this point: just because a movie has a lot of gore doesn't make it a torture porn. That's the most overused phrase out there. Saw isn't torture porn. Grotesque and August Underground are. A torture porn is a movie that tries to thrill the audience with excessive violence, and any plot is just a vehicle for that goal. Saw tries more than that. It's a gritty little movie, but it's not even as gory as High Tension. It tries to thrill the audience with the twists and turns in the plot. Hostel is the same thing. There's not much gore in the movie apart from maybe a couple scenes.
