"Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured."

Pascal Laugier's controversial horror movie Martyrs can be described as several things. Shocking, vicious, ugly, merciless, brutal, and sickening are a few adjectives which spring to min... read more

Martyrs has become the measuring stick by which I evaluate the shock, disturbedness, and intensity of everything Ive watched since. Made in 2007, I originally found this title at Blockbuster of all places, and theres simply no way they realize what it is. Its not SO extreme that you cant sit through it, but its pretty f-ed up. This movie starts as your typical torture-porn, in the vein of Hostel, ... read more

Understand the entire undertaking of the film, the overall strength of the whole charm. While in some scenes are very violent.

"This movie was sickening me to the bone. While I can certainly applaud this movie for its horrifying creativity, I can also say that this movie made me wonder about several things. The ending is just as gruesome as it is serene. Does the end justify the means? After seeing this movie (and just by looking at humanity as a whole) I absolutely disagree. "

Underwhelming Cinema (22 movies items)

" Here's a movie that's really popular for some reason. Again, I have no idea why. This half-witted representative of the new wave of French horror starts by doing a lot of things right. The first 40 minutes are intriguing despite not being terrifying at all. Then... I guess it descends into what someone who really likes Roman Polanski-movies thinks torture porn should be? It's very pretentious and not even in an amusing way. The introduction of the cultists is also just a bafflingly clichéd exp"

"7.4 rewatch - ei aiempaa pisteytystä DVD Nukuin ekalla katselukerralla puolet elokuvan kestosta, enkä tykännyt siitäkään vähästä minkä näin. Noh, päätin antaa tälle uuden mahdollisuuden ja ostin tämän anttilasta neljällä eurolla. Virhe. Elokuva oli edelleen vitun turhanpäiväistä naisten läpsimistä ja gornoilua, eikä se ilmeisesti yrittänyt edes sanoa mitään. Kaiken kivan lisäksi joudun katsomaan viimeiset 3 minuuttia youtubesta, koska levy ei jostain syytä suostun"

“Martyrs is a great horror tale, it is the tale of Lucie who at a young age is tortured and abused. Lucie clearly has physiology issues form what happen to her, Lucie grows up and seeks revenge to those who tormented her and to rid the demons that are plaguing her. Lucie has her revenge but the demons still remain, her closest friend Anna who has been with Lucy since she was a child. Anna has supported her friend through her darkest terrors, and is a mother figure for her. Is called in to help clean the mess Lucie has made, Anna is not sure if Lucie has done the right thing or has found the right people. While Lucie is still plagued by her demons, and ends it all Anna then is left to discover that Lucie's tale of hell was true. Anna is then sent on a journey of hell, and meets the tormentor” read more

"Martyrs is a good movie to really scare people, after the opening scene they will think the movie is going in another direction, but then the real horror begins. "
