1. What is it?
2. Who makes it?
3. Do you like it? Why or why not?

Spurred by a side conversation about horror movies on ITR between jjjusten and me.

Obviously a lot of recent horror movies get tagged with this label. Do you think that's accurate or lazy? At what point does the violence escalate beyond normal movie conventions into something salaciously celebratory (as implied by the word "porn")? What other film genres does this bleed into? (Thinking of past arguments re: Michael Bay movies, particularly "Bad Boys II" here.)

lol okay actually there's a better thread for this

Enjoying horror films - why do we (or don't we)?
