I rated this movie super high, almost exclusively for the ride it took me on. I agree with what many others have said about the movie, but that never stopped me from being thoroughly entertained, start to finish. Martyrs has its share of problems, but it was a hell of a fun ride!

Such a haunting experience Martyrs is. It'll haunt you. It is still one of the most unsettling films I've ever seen, even on this rewatch in which I knew what would happen, it was still hard to watch during some scenes. Especially the second half of the film. You kind of feel what Anna goes through. And when the movie is finished, you'll know you will be haunted by it for days. These New French Extremity films are just something else. They take things to a whole new level. It is not for everyone. But I do believe if you like horror movies you have to watch Martyrs. It is one of the best movies coming out of the New French Extremity movement. With great visual effects, great acting and a good enough story to get you hooked. Just try to watch something light after, it is what I'm going to do now.

Rated this 5/10 due to large amounts of repeated and gratuitous violence.

Is it worth torturing people to find out if there is life after death?
This movie's answer seems to be "Keep doubting".

Martyrs: Greek for Witness.

Martyrs is written and directed by Pascal Laugier. It stars Morjana Alaoui and Mylene Jampanoi.

The New French Extremity Movement had its bar raised considerably by Pascal Laugier’s brutal but thought provoking horror. It’s a film as uncompromising as it is conf More

Martyrs delivers an intriguing and original concept but doesn't quite reach its full potential. It borrows a page from Terrifier's playbook by dispatching the superior actress early which leaves a noticeable performance void. The third act hits a bit of a lull, but reb More

I wrote this once to describe my philosophy on what movies/TV I like:

"Ravenous fan of dark, edgy movies & TV. They should glue you to the screen and stay in your dreams."

Martyrs is one of a handful that describes that perspective to the T, and it is the kind of horror movie that you should More
