Review of Martyrs (2008) by Christopher W — 09 Apr 2012

Another one that stays with me. Yes, I have had certain friends dumb it down to nothing more than "torture porn". Yeah ok, I get it. To me, it's the experience of what these women have gone through and what one has yet to go through.

The make-up special effects are nothing short of brilliant. The build up leading to the superb ending is my favorite part, for sure. So haunting. There's a deep psychological message in this film that, unfortunatly, gets lost among the obvious gore.

Bravo to those who see it.
