Review of Martyrs (2008) by Robert C — 22 Mar 2010
This one left me a little perplexed.
It's almost two films in one and each with an equally intriguing (though totally different) feel.
I like that you never really know what the reality of the situation is throughout the first half of the film and that we are left with much being left up to intepretation.
But disliked that (to spite a really interesting concept) the last half of the film, which was meant to sort of tie up any loose ends (no pun intended), wasn't very well fleshed out. And left many vital points unanswered.
I feel if they would have cut out some of the torture scenes and spent a little time telling us more about the group who was doing the deeds (and why), it would have greatly improved the film.
All in all a very intense (almost too vilolent at times) film, that is well worth viewing for horror fans.
