Recently two of my friends have called "Martyrs" one of the best films they've
ever seen. That made me sit up and pay attention. I had to see it.
Two girls, Lucie and Anna, escape from an orphanage where they're being
tortured. 15 years later they find two of the people who tortured them, and
Lucie slaughters the whole family. Lucie then kills herself. Anna searches the
house and finds another women in the cellar who's being tortured. The woman
kills herself. Anna is captured and is tortured even more than before.
There's an explanation for the torture which is given late in the film. It
didn't satisfy me. The only memory I have after watching the film is women being tortured.
It's ugly. How can anyone possibly like a film like this? It's horrible.
The film does seem to have something of a cult following. It was even remade
in English. I honestly don't understand why.
Success Rate: - 2.5
