Am I the only one who thinks that the America’s new torture enhanced interrogation policy is partly responsible for the Gorno trend in recent film making? In case you’re lucky enough to have never heard of it, allow me to ruin your day: “Gore+Porno = Gorno = Splatter Film = Torture Porn” :

I’m probably missing a ton, here, but honestly I think these films are pretty sick, even if Jack Bauer has been busy teaching Americans that “Torture’s A-OK”.

GORNO is just wrong.
