This isn't to show how wrong it is, as much as to give the audience some visceral thrills. Thus works will give lots of details (whether written, verbal, or visual) of the torture.
Although the term was popularized in the early 2000s with the rise of films focusing on this, the genre has been around for a lot longer.
Now despite the name not referring to actual pornography, some films have combined both (and have thus become notorious for it).
A SisterTrope to {{Gorn}}, MutilationInterrogation (and often overlaps with both).
Contrast TooKinkyToTorture (the victim enjoys it more than anyone else).
Not to be confused with hardcore S&M (since the torture there is more playing around), nor finding torture to be FetishFuel (although some suspect some of these films invoke that).

* Certain ''{{Giallo}}'' films. Most don't feature gore, just minimal specific incidents of violence which could hardly be classified as 'torture porn', but some of the most extreme ones (on the borderline with the horror genre), such as Fulci's ''Non si sevizia un paperino'' (Don't Torture A Duckling), do qualify for this trope.
* Just about everything released by {{Troma}}. Their comparatively highbrow TromeoAndJuliet stayed comparatively true to the spirit of RomeoAndJuliet, while also including a scalping, traumatic amputation, incest, electrocution, someone turning into a pig-woman, and hideously, hideously disfigured inbred children.
* ''CannibalHolocaust'' contained scenes that were believable enough, at the time, to result in the arrest of the director, foreshadowing Charlie Sheen's snuff film fears by about twenty years. Includes rape with a foreign object followed by bludgeoning of the victim, dissection, cannibalism (of course), and an incredibly well-designed impalement scene which still is occasionally posted online as a real occurrence. To make it worse, all the animals that died in the movie were actually killed, leading to the "No Animals Were Harmed In the Making of this Film" disclaimer at the end of every movie; and the director made all the cast sign contracts to keep out of public sight and take no new work for a year to help sell the illusion that the film was genuine.
** The director in fact had to bring the actors onto a talk show to prove that he hadn't actually killed them during filming.
* ''PinkFlamingos'', the film to start with if you're interested in the work of John Waters, plays with this trope mockingly. One scene, one very long and uncomfortable scene, features a man having sex with a chicken (resulting in bloody lacerations for the nude gentleman and an onscreen death for the chicken), and another features what can best be described as "a heartwarming torture sequence wherein women are beaten in a basement and raped with a turkey baster, with the resulting babies being sold to lesbians." Thankfully, John Waters is parodying the "True Crime" genre, so it's usually meant to be (disturbingly) funny.
* ''FrankenFran'': In one episode Fran (unknowingly) takes part in a torture porn movie.
* There's a reason that Jack Bauer from ''[[{{twentyfour}} 24]]'' has a [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique trope named after him]]. The ways in which he aquires information from his prisoners - and how these ways are both shown and described - fall into this catagory.
