Review of Martyrs (2008) by Darcy M — 15 Nov 2015
Just ...wow. This is two different movies. The first is oddly empowering and puts you on the weird side of the story by making you sympathize completely with a mass murderer. But the second half takes an odd turn you need to just go with and you discover that the film is really about something else.
To me, the film was about violence against women in culture, i.e. horror movies, police procedurals, etc... and how we carelessly martyr young women in stories. But CRAP the ending is upsetting and I found the film to be genuinely disturbing.
