Review of Martyrs (2008) by Mark P — 11 Dec 2010
Not a movie for everyone.. But it was a very good movie in my opinion. Very disturbing. More than a revenge movie, more realistic type torture than Hostel.
Don't go into this movie with expectations or by reading plot exposing reviews. They will tell you it's like Hostel or Saw, but it's not. Sadly it just got wrapped into that genre of horror... And this isn't as scary as it is disturbing, and I don't feel it was meant to be horror.
To some it will be hard to watch. For me, it was not hard to watch. Movies never get a rise out me, and this one didn't make me feel sick or have to look away like so many said it would. I enjoyed the movie immensely, though I can't describe why accurately.
Definately watch this before you watch the American remake once it comes out because I can gautantee you it won't be half as good, and it WILL get dumbed down for American audiences.
