Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

evanthorne A film that shouldn't be missed, Martyrs seems like a generic story, but hits you with so many twists and turns, you'll be surprised that it started where it did! This definitely stands above what we see mostly from production companies like Blumhouse (Who I think had a part in the stupid and uninspired American Remake) as it's not afraid to take risks and go all out with everything it has to say! Hopefully one day this film will be treated with more respect in the future, and maybe Hollywood will someday decide to take interest in the more unconventional route. Until then, go watch this movie!

DerekB Martyrs is one of the creepiest, violent, and disturbing movies I've seen in a good while. It may just be that it plays on several fears of mine, but I found Martyrs to be one of the hardest movies for me to sit through. I think one of the most important aspects of the movie is it's abundance of violence and gore. Obviously it's not the only thing that makes the movie terrifying, but seeing such realistic depictions of cutting, beating, and mutilation really leave one hell of an impact. The plot of Martyrs may not be the best, but the way it's told is enough that while watching the movie, it feels like a much better story than if someone were to sit down and explain it. More than half the movie has no dialogue whatsoever for up to 10 minutes at a time, which allows the viewer to interpret most of it however they want. I can't really comment on the acting as it's a foreign film, but I can say that the music and sound design are absolutely perfect even if some of the cinematography leaves something to be desired at times. Fans of horror are probably going to enjoy Martyrs, but I would have a really hard time recommending it to anyone outside of that demographic.

shixtzu Just don't watch it unless you are addicted to sadistic, torture porn Don't waste your time we have 2018 I'm confident you can find a better horror movie to watch. If we can say this is a horror movie at allI even registered to write this comment such an atrocity it is

Dsuarezmlc12 The movie has a plot that it is shoddy at best and only needs ten minutes of screen time to portray it. Its lauded by some as such a good movie but has plot holes and doesn't seem to advance at all while only dragging on. Some will say I missed the point but movies like No Country for Old Men which is an in depth character study, Manchester by the Sea which explores humanity, Pulp Fiction which is a craft in more ways than one, etc. all convey their message and craft excellently. This movies is part horror, part torture-porn, part existential film. It tries to have some deep meaningful message which depending on the way you look at it is just gonna make you mad. I'm not saying that it should have ended more jovially but it doesn't give you anything to hold on to, really, just the images but not a message or a plot. Sure this movie will stick with you and make you feel depressed and question humanity but it does so in a similar way that a ten minute real life gory video will. If all it pretends to be is a movie that makes you see how ugly humanity is, like i said, ten minutes would have been enough. It throws in a shamble of a plot an some kind of allegedly meaningful ending but its just a big balloon full of hot air. A pretentious film that acts like it is more than it actually is. There are other movies labeled as pretentious that actually have a coherent message and strong plot and strong character study, this has none of that and ill stop now before this gets any longer.
