Torture Cinema Polls

Torture Cinema Poll #18: You Decide!

You know what time it is!  I’ve randomized the list and these are the top five choices.  Vote away! Note:  Some films may appear on the list which may not fall under the “torture category.”  This is because often the sequel is the actual bad movie, but we feel it is necessary to watch everything in sequence.
