I see, why do torture porn and the ilk get auto-disqualified then?

the villains in these films are extremely disgusting and their heinousness is deliberately made to be as horrific as possible, even if the protagonists themselves are often given little to no major thought, other than maybe some cheap tactics to make them appear "innocent" so it feels even less appealing when they are inevitably tortured (..I dislike these kinds of "horror" films, because of these tactics).

I mean, things like Train and so on are stupid, mindless gore-exploitation but you can't deny the villains (poor as their non-existent backstories may be) are among the most hateful because they are designed to be disgusting characters only the most sadist of audience would really enjoy watching (people may like old Freddy but he was comedic and had some weird charisma, as horrific as he was.. the torture-porn variants have NONE of this weird charm).
