Haha, I don't mind exploitation flicks when they're done well (the original HHE, Martyrs, etc.), I was just hoping that likening to car crash/morbid curiosity would help explain it a little better.

Oh and before bob harangues me, Martyrs is not an exploitation film, but it certainly has torture porn elements.
