Review of Martyrs (2015) by Tez555 — 06 May 2020

Let me start by saying, i'm not a person to hate on a film just 'cause it's a remake. I've enjoyed The Ring, The Grudge, The Eye... All the "The" films apparently. But my god this... This was terrible. It's the appitomy of a watered down American remake, the ending is just, well, if you've seen it you know. The original Martyrs had such a graphic, shocking ending it stuck with you for weeks. This, not so much.

I won't slate the acting like alot of people, they were all fine I guess, but one thing that truelly annoyed me was the terrible shotgun sound effect. When there's the first gunshot out of the blue near the beginning that should be a jumpy crap your pants moment, but the shotgun sounds so ridiculously pathetic it's laughable.

Please, I emplore all of you, just watch the original.
