No worries. If you want something more in depth, and I'll assume you got some of this by the movie descriptions, is that the movie is so uncomfortable not just because of the extremes it takes it, but also because it's not actually much more exaggerated than the media we consume on a near daily basis. The sexualized violence, the fact that there is a market for it in the first place, that it's actually commercialized and how the market for it starts a cycle of the viewers and marketers perpetuating and glorifying the violence necessary for their entertainment.

It's an amazing but incredibly uncomfortable and depressing film.

Bev:
Bride of Chucky - Much better than I remember, the goofiness is balanced out by some brutal kills and a dark tone.

Seed of Chucky - One of the worst movies I've ever seen, what was Don Mancini thinking? Everything is just wrong, the humour isn't funny, the storyline is boring and too confined to one place, and it ignores so much of what came before it. The plot holes in regards to the series canon are just glaring and make me scream it the tv. I can't beleive this ever got made.

Thrillho:
Reason I rate the Saw franchise so comparatively highly? Because of how rock solid its continuity is by horror standards.

I'm still of the opinion that Saw should have stopped with 2. 1 was great, though a bit sillly what with a advanced stage terminal cancer patient kidnapping people 1/3 - 1/2 his age, and 2 was a pretty good follow up. The following movies are just really terrible torture porn.

Edit: We've been re-watching "Malcolm in the Middle" recently and I had forgotten how good this show was.

Welu:
I think torture porn is unfair to call Saw. It's got a fair amount of plot and does make the effort for continuity, which isn't what the torture porn fans want to see. Whereas it's too graphic for people who might be interested in the plot otherwise. Also John had helpers to do a lot of work for him.
I'd say films like Hostel are more like torture porn, even if they aren't as graphic they definitely don't give a shit about the plot. Although I couldn't even finish those so maybe they are more plotty or graphic than I realise. Then there's the budget variety which are just some mates with a camera and fake blood which somehow got a release on video constantly in the 80's.
