Review of Martyrs (2008) by Michael N — 01 Jan 2011
I think it is rather brilliant but... I don't know if it's me getting older or what, but I found this exceptionally difficult to watch. More than any movie I've ever seen. It takes violence to an extreme, but a real extreme.
It's not Hostel or Saw. Those are simply films about torture. This is something much more. Something darker. I can't ever see it again. It's definitely an incredible film. I'm just not sure where to put it now that I've seen it.
And a US remake is an astronomically bad idea.
