They need to come out with a sub genre for horror called Gore Porn so people like myself who want to be scared not grossed out will know to avoid that shit.
I don't think that completely a reason to disrespect someone. Bastard Out of Carolina has a rape scene where a man is raping a girl... Oh I dunno about 8 or 9. And the movie is actually really good, it came out in 1996. It has Jenna Malone, Ron Eldard, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christina Ricci in it (among others). Its based off of a book though and not a horror film.

Usually films will say in their ratings if there's a rape scene in it which then gives you the option of going to see it or not. And while it may make us squirm and feel incredibly uncomfortable, I have no problem with it so long as no one was really hurt and it has a point within the storyline. Shock films are meant to do exactly that.

The Human Centipede, The Hills Have Eyes (remake. Which was crappy honestly), Hostel series, Saw series. I mean all these things have gratuitous violence/shock. Although Saw may be in a category of its own because the overarching storyline of the entire series is actually interesting.

edit: Oh yeah, and Oldboy. Wanna be shocked. Watch Oldboy. Koreans are crazy man. But its probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. With a twist!
