It means violence for the sake of violence - strictly for "entertainment" value - unnecessary.

It means it isn't essential to the story, but is just there to add some thrills for the bloodthirsty teens in the audience.

If you were making a documentary about a serial killer, some violence would be essential to the story. But if you went so far as to include a lot of closeups of things like someone's throat being ripped open with a knife and blood spraying everywhere with thumping background music, that's excessive and gratuitous.

Gratuitous means unneccessary. The story would have been exactly the same without it.
