Martyrs

So realistic it made me sick..Excellent perfomances such a great atmosphere but so difficult to watch it till the end...

I rated this movie super high, almost exclusively for the ride it took me on. I agree with what many others have said about the movie, but that never stopped me from being thoroughly entertained, start to finish. Martyrs has its share of problems, but it was a hell of a fun ride!

A movie you see one time...a really hard one...

Absolutely brutal movie, amazing acting and beautiful cinematography. This movie is a must watch, especially if you like the more extreme side to horror.

A stomach wrenching movie. It's really well done and it really makes you think.

Such a haunting experience Martyrs is. It'll haunt you. It is still one of the most unsettling films I've ever seen, even on this rewatch in which I knew what would happen, it was still hard to watch during some scenes. Especially the second half of the film. You kind of feel what Anna goes through. And when the movie is finished, you'll know you will be haunted by it for days.

These New French Extremity films are just something else. They take things to a whole new level. It is not for everyone. But I do believe if you like horror movies you have to watch Martyrs. It is one of the best movies coming out of the New French Extremity movement. With great visual effects, great acting and a good enough story to get you hooked. Just try to watch something light after, it is what I'm going to do now.

I’m not so sure I can tell you what I just watched. But I did like this movie a lot. It’s about as twisted a movie as I’ve seen in a long time. But enjoyable at the same time.

I was expecting “Martyrs” to be one of those torture porn movies with lots of shock value just for the sake of it, but I actually appreciated the attempt to elevate the disturbing scenes into something functional to the narrative. Laugier knew that he couldn’t just torture women for 90 minutes straight, and tried to add as many ingredients to the pot as possible. Some worked, some didn’t. The first half in particular felt a bit all over the place. Still, the direction and cinematography are miles ahead of what you’d expect from a recent low-budget horror.

A very frightening movie and gross
