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

friend recommended this to we - and wow - what a film. Nice little twist, plenty of 'near the bone' scenes and some great effects - we worth watching.

Hated or Divisive Movies That I LOVED (47 movies items)

"Often Hated For: Its extreme visceral nature. Reason I Love It: The film is grueling, harrowing, and shocking, that alone sets it apart in a world where art rarely does this. The acting is superb, the villains feasibly menacing, and the journey is nerve-shattering. Much is made about the extreme graphic nature of Martyrs BUT the film has something big to say and the violence, though disturbingly uncomfortable, only makes its final defiant scene all the more impacting.
