'Saw' is the one i remember reading about, and it shocked me.
it seemed not so much a scary 'horror' movie but rather some kind of exercise in purely deviant snuff-film titillation.
'what's the most FUCKED UP and sadistic way we can kill someone?? hehehehehe.'
it was an expression of the warped feminine psychology of its primary audience -- like the cinematic preoccupation with 'serial killers' in the 90s, which was also driven by the demented tastes of women.

Stephen King has a pretty good breakdown of the hierarchy of this stuff in Danse Macabre
The most elegant is what he calls 'terror' which is where you scare the shit out of someone without showing your hand
Then there's what he calls 'horror'which is where you try to terrify and then also confront the audience with something scary (I'd argue jump scares fall into this category)
Finally there's the 'gross-out' which is self-explanatory
