Torture Porn, Roland Joffe, Captivity

[mmeshneck666]

If you want to see a tribute to torture porn, write : DESPERA - Chroniques de la Douleur

[juicemakesugar]

And to think this guy made such masterpieces as The Killing Fields and The Mission.

[WatchmeWatchu89]

@juicemakesugar i enjoyed captivity.

[loftpigeon]

torcher porn is nothing new, we have had it many many years ago, the 70s texas chainsaw massacre, evil dead, the tree rape scene

[thesatanic6]

yeah thats not torture porn

[SquigglyP]

you don't get it? Jesus. Torture porn = made for people who get off watching people get tortured. "porn" films show nothing but sex. There's no need for plot, character development, etc. All you need is some chick with big tits getting fucked.

With Torture porn, you also don't need a plot or character development, etc. All you need is someone getting bits cut off them. So in essence these films ARE porn. The term refers to the way the film is made, not really the content.

[reviewitorhateit]

porn doesn't mean like sex/ adult film rather it means explicit depiction of sex. Knowhumsayin

[unclealand]

Hey, people like to see people tortured. It's a fact of life. From artsy-fartsy "Blue Velvet" to Mel Gibson's "The Passion" to this thing. Turns them on. Always has. You might not LIKE what you feel, but it won't change things.

[musicman02]

Yeah but the the movies that subscribe to the torture genre with no apologies pollute our culture with weak artistic merit and they desensitise hillbilly children to the point that they might fucking kill you.

[heylie13]

American horror films are a bad way to go for A-list actresses like Elisha 9/10 bomb =[ i'll check it out though i mean just because something doesn't make uber tons of money doesn't mean it's bad the guy sounds smart too so he probably made this movie good

[KingLRobo]

wow i havent seen the movie yet and ive not found ONE SINGLE good comment about it. therfore im just not going to watch it.

elisha cuthbert is hot though there is no denying, go back to 24 elisha, that is where you belong not in crappy B movies

[Drakon222]

And I saw one good comment. It was something like "I liked this movie". I'm serious. xD

[dal2knotaku]

this movie did suck, there wasn't much blood or should i say torture

[june32]

blah blah blah the movie SUCKED (booooooooooooring!)

[skooma728]

"Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. They're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became."

[iaconpoint]

What a douche of a director and a dumb whore or a star. REALLY grasping at stupid crap. I hope the failure of this movie ruins both of their careers.

[Andre2010]

i just hope this movie to be the heavens gate of this crap genre

[Mangopork]

Everyone who enjoyed this film must be mandated to be burned at the stake without leniency, exception, or hesitation.

All of you - every single one of you - should be sick and ashamed of yourselves.

Off yourself.

[aquatix]

Response to Mangopork: Anyone who takes movies seriously should be mandated to be burned at the stake without leniency, exception, or hesitation. Honestly now, you're the real freaks

[krylonman]

Yeah, because rabid bloodlust is really sick and we should totally burn them at the stake without a trial bec...oh, wait.

[maddigore]

Captitvity was boring. not enough gore and suspense. oh and is not torture porn you dickhead!

[drnrg31]

Just enjoy the movie and shut up why don't you. Torture Gore rulez!!

[spiraldeath]

Why are people taking this film seriously, comparing it to real life situations and ''inside a klillers mind''?. I mean, all Roland Joffe had to do was a ripp-off of Saw and some of the movies that someone mentioned below, and you have Captivity as a basterd result. The screams in the movie are more cheap than 1970s thrillers.

[toecutterr6]

Hasn't this film already been made? does anyone else remember 'boxing helena'?

[Sickfixx]

So do the people who he has tortured. Just ask Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl.

[unclealand]

"Last House on the Left," "Hostel," "Funny Games," let's face it, people ENJOY watching women tortured and trashed. Even the poster looks like a Dolcett drawing. Dudes love it.

[maddigore]

dont forget the movie that started it all! Bloodsucking Freaks. if anyone likes troture porn thats what you should watch. its fucking horrible.

[tuckercomehome]

You have to love a Director that gets into his work the way Joffe does, he doesn't just mail it in..

[Eternalist3383]

I want an elisha cuthbert for my basement!

[hairykrsna]

i love watching hot chicks getting tortured and killed...gives me a woody : )~

[Hauteur723]

Smart man

[theoparke]

I thought this was going to be a filmmaker's rant AGAINST torture porn, not a defense OF it.

Society needs more movies like this like we need cyanide in our drinking water.

[elainfran]

he actually sounds smart

[metafact]

Nice try, Roland. I can smell his bullshit from my computer. This is nothing more than an excuse to show Elisha Cuthbert tortured for 90 minutes.

[zogg18]

Philistine

[andythefork]

Exactly. His "explanation" was complete BS. If he truely wanted to explore and discuss the mindset of someone who wants to possess and control, he would have made a documentary. This is purely made for sick entertainment. Just look at how it's marketed.

[plan9fromuranus]

great clip...good insight into the film.
