effects on an audience by watching this scene where a man tortures another would be voyeurism, sadistic pleasure, desensitization.
The diegetic sound of the song is parallel to the scene as the guy is tied up and bleeding. The parallel song makes it seem more perverse as the makes the torturing seem normal.
The scene contains a lot of blood and could be regarded as disturbing to an audience of the past as they would not have been desensitized unlike today's generation who are also voyeurs and have sadistic pleasures. It could also have a copycat effect as another guy plays the hero by shooting the villain who is about to set fire to his victim which is really extreme and heartless.
Lastly the cultivation theory could also be applied as the characters use violence to overcome their situation and could certainly influence impressionable teenagers.
