Review of Martyrs (2008) by T W — 19 May 2015
A terrible mess of a movie that constantly doesn't know what idea or theme it wants to focus on. This movie is the definition of torture porn. It has a couple of shocking scenes with a terrible story to support it.
It starts off as a psychological movie into a really awful "cult" movie. Also when I said "cult" I meant rich old white people. LIKE EVERY OTHER CULT IN EVERY MOVIE EVER! A train wreck in terms of plot structure that tries to bite off more than it can chew.
I will give the film the 15 minutes it spent being stuck down in the dungeon those were actually really well done scenes as you felt helpless with the girl, but it's at the end of the movie. You have to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes to see a horrible twist to get to it.
The movie starts off as a revenge movie into a "deep" and "philosophical" mess of a film.
