If you liked those films I'd consider seeking professional help
Lol ok Or maybe you could realize that people have different interests, different tastes, etc. and Just because someone likes to watch a 'fücked up' movie here and there doesn't mean that they should seek any professional help because 1. there's nothing wrong with that (at least, imo), even though it may go against many people's imposed social norms/taboos and 2.
obviously it's something that is subjective & not for everyone's tastes. Hate to break it to you, but not everyone in the world will fit into/relate to your ignorant category of what is "sane" & "normal", & maybe fathom that not only is it just a goddamn transgressive film (and a rather good one to say the least), but that the world is not a pretty place nor has it ever been one. Compared to a good portion of all of the crazy sh!t that I've seen/heard about from an early age and so forth, this film is a somewhat more than the icing on cake. I could probably understand your point of view a lot more if you were talking about actual snuff films, but this is clearly a piece of fiction, and isn't quite the same as one of those, now is it?

Yes because it's totally healthy and natural for people to want to see a film which is just people tortured and mutilated for 90 minutes, with no drama whatsoever. At least ASF has a story.

It's not really the entire 90 minutes either. Have you even watched the film? You will probably say "no why would i do that" then don't comment in this comment section.

It's human nature to be intrigued by the macabre, completely normal for one to seek (via films like ASM) what goes against social norms. Quite healthy as opposed to fantasizing about or perpetrating acts like the content in ASM.
Not all humans are repressed and/or afraid to feel the emotions that films like this might stir up. That, my friend, isn't so healthy. If one must always seek out only positive, feel-good fluff, Hollywood's *beep* movies,it begs the question as to what/why one's hiding or trying to keep buried...
But, if one feels better pushing their repressed views onto others, who am I to judge.
