SAW* is the very definition of torture porn. Other films include the Texas Chainsaw massacre remake, the upcoming The Poughkeepsie Tapes, the Hostel movies... there are a few more, but those jump right out at me.
He was specifically asked about World War Z, and in general he thinks that zombie stuff isn't good unless there's an element of humor and fun snuck in there. His mindset in particular is EC comics oriented (he loved them as a kid), where there are bad puns and crazy funny things happening every so often. He didn't like World War Z because he thinks it had too much of a "straight face" to it.
(p.s. this is why I love New York and film screenings here... because I get the answers to these questions!!)
