Well, I also think that the point is that most movies and the like are sterile and boring, and also harmful to the correct and safe content for consumers and people with fragile psyche, etc. But content like "The Boys" is controversial, but it usually has a lot of realism and dirt, which you won't find in sterile projects, I think that's why you liked it.
If anything I liked "Terrifier" especially the third part it was such a thrill especially to look at people's comments like: What are you talking about, this should be banned and the author should be put behind bars, he broke my psyche! Although there was a warning not for the faint of heart but who cares about warnings...
So you will find little good stuff because it is banned and the authors of such things usually have problems later, so few people take the risk and create something worthwhile with dirt and realism.
