Watch Martyrs For Free

Sick Product of a Sick System

Excellent adaptation.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

When I first heard of this movie , I was like 'this sounds interesting let me check it out'. After watching it , I can tell you that I basically just saw a extremely violent movie that had a strong message behind it . But, the movie doesn't do anything creative with it and once you understand why it's all happening , you just become no longer invested in it because you are already sick to your stomach and there isn't any characters that are interesting . Every character in this movie is just an inanimate object for more gore to be shown and the performances aren't good either and they become annoying and the whole movie feels annoying , hollow, dull, vile, and pretentious . The violence is so much that I begin to feel like vomiting at certain points and the beating scene of Anna was too much for me . The end was one of those ending that doesn't give you any explanation of why anything is happening and let the audience guess , which is a common in these artsy-fartsy movies. There are so many plot holes in this movie : 1, when she kills the entire family and calls her friend to help and after doing that , they don't even leave the house , they just stay there 2, When Anna finds the woman locked in the basement , instead of taking her to the hospital or calling 9-11 to help her , she puts her in the bath-tub which I felt was just an excuse for more gore to be shown. 3, why didn't the police arrive when Lucy killed the family . The in the end , Martyrs is just another generic torture porn movie with virtually no plot and a slight twist that 's they re searching for the afterlife stuff.

Lucie and Anna grew up together in a shelter form abused kids. Lucie had undergone and ordeal and is not crazy and she sees demons. Years later, she still sees demons and is out for revenge.I wanted to turn the film off in the first 10 minutes. I didn't really like the overall plot, I thought it was a bit silly. What makes this film stand out from other slashers is the realism. You can almost feel the pain inflicted on the victim.Give me fake blood and gore with girls who take showers.

Gore and blood are the hallmark of horror films. In this case, they are definitely present. In fact, this film fits nicely into the category of films that has been emerging in past decades called "body horror." IN truth, it's one of the best. A movie that visits pain or disfigurement on its characters and makes you think, "I hope that never happens to me," qualifies as body horror. You can feel, in a sense, what is happening to the protagonist as if it were happening to you.Yes, we definitely can categorize this as body horror. Through a good part of the beginning in fact, I began to think it was just that but I was so mistaken. There are "people vs. the establishment" themes going on here. There is an empathetic look at suffering, especially of women. There is a supernatural aspect that for me was never really "fleshed out" but certainly got me thinking. I have a word to the wise if you haven't yet seen this film and plan to: Go in knowing there is a story but let all your expectations fall away. This film attacks victimization and vengeance in an all new way I can guarantee exists nowhere else in horror.Something should be said about this original film: it's following remake is nothing like it and should only be seen after the original. Read only non spoiler reviews and the IMDb summary before seeing it. Body horror fans and standard horror fans must see this film, it is glorious.

I must start by saying this is not a movie for the faint-hearted. Also I believe there are a lot of good reviews of this film out there that should be read. Shocking, disturbing, brutal...those are just a few words that can describe this movie. What a human being can do for revenge, or just to find answers is unbelievable. I always ask myself how an actor could play so good in a movie where emotions are taken on a different kind of level. This is a movie that makes you feel disgusted with the world and ashamed of what humans can do to each other. It is a horror film that even for gorehounds the stomach may go nuts. A lot of people are making jokes when watching a horror film, trying to make it easier to watch. The moment Anna gets captured nobody can laugh anymore, it is intense and brutal. A normal person could not even think of making a joke at that moment. This movie depicts what human nature is capable of and makes it sad. The movie starts with a horror story and then walks into another one, over and over again. The actors did an amazing job, made it feel a lot more realistic with genuine emotions. Morjana Alaoui pulls in a heart wrenching performance. This is another reason why this movie is so good. I read that a lot of people were repulsed by the second part of the movie and it is understandable, but then again, it is just a movie (clearly not made for those with a weak heart). I still don't understand the world we live in, but I think these are realistic events converted in a fictional environment. The ending went into a direction I was not expecting. Like all horror films, the main character is either saved, either killed. But in this one the director gave a more profound meaning to the whole film. He left us surrounded by mystery and everyone can have their own interpretation. It is original, unlike a significant number of modern horror movies. Again, foreign films shows us that they are way better than Hollywood films.
