M A R T Y R S

France/Canada 2008



Years after she escaped from an icy torture chamber in an abandoned slaughterhouse, Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) enlists the help of her closest friend, Anna (Morjana Alaoui), to track down the family who tormented her and exact her revenge. But when Lucie and Anna investigate further, they discover that they've only scratched the surface of an unspeakably vile secret organization. Pascal Laugier directs this ultraviolent horror film.
8.5/10



So for all of you who are into the film A L'Interieur (INSIDE) you will love this movie. This is one of the most offensive, brutal and emotional movies I have ever bared witness to and the premise has a profound subject matter to life and death and the stages in between. I cannot even get into detail of the stuff that happens in this film. It's just something you have to see. It will not get a release in theaters and I have no idea about whether it will even get released or who will distribute this screwed up work of art. A lot of people could pass it off as just a violent romp but all the ultra sadist violence and torture in this film is not only justified in a sense but done brilliantly graphic and on a level of utmost perfection. You have to see this.
